We have pressure pads but they are easy to spot and avoid.
So anyone can avoid your trap I suggest hidden pressure pads.
This is how to make the hidden pressure pad.
Bookshelves are nothing.
Grass is any material you want to hide the pressure pad in.
Tnt is the pressure pad.
So if you want to make a plank hidden pressure pad.
It would be like this:
And a cobblestone hidden pressure pad.
Would look like this:
Cobblestone/Planks are cobblestone/Planks.
Tnt is the pressure pad.
When placed it looks like a normal block but a slightly taller.
At the bottom is the pressure pad.

i have burned a whole house down by doing this on accident... lava be trollin
There needs to be a slight indication of it being detected, maybe if you are unarmed and left click on it, it'll make a clicking sound instead of the usual sound?
I was thinking of an idea similar to this but instead of requiring 8 of the block you want it to blend with, I'd rather just 1, allowing easy creation in the player crafting square. From this you can choose the location that the pad is on the block (side/top). As well, I don't believe it should stick out. If it is obvious at a glance your trap has failed. Crafting examples below.
x = Empty space
p = Pressure Pad
B = Block type for the hidden pad
Pad on top of block:
x p
x B
or
p x
B x
A player who steps on this pad would sink 1/4 of a block letting them know they've triggered the trap
Pad on side of block:
x x
p B
(or other possible variations with left and right)
This block would sense players standing in the block next to the face of the pressure pad (indicated by lines on the block when sides are exposed) and then press in 1/4 a block (as if to assume the player leaned against the wall and triggered the trap).
A pressure pad on the bottom of a block (for ceilings) could also be done but I don't believe many would fall for such a trap as it would require jumping into it (although it may be good for puzzles).
I also suggest hidden buttons (full blocks that have a buttons embedded in the top/bottom/side that is visible with a black/dark gray outline), crafted in the same manner as hidden pads but with buttons in place of pads.
I feel these two concepts would further richen the minecraft experience and make traps far more likely to succeed.
