As of 1.5, a new item has been coded into Minecraft. That item is the weighted pressure plate; a pressure plate which only activates when a certain amount of items is dropped onto it. Now, with that addition, I suggest putting it into Minecraft Survival Games. How?
Well, to open otherwise locked doors, or redstone contraptions. For example, you're in, say, SG4 and you see a weighted pressure plate. You place as many items as you need which you possess on the plate, and something happens. You can get lava put on top of you or shot by arrows. Or, you can open up closed areas and loot the area. Here are the benefits:

Here are the benefits:
- More ways of creating traps. Somebody drops the items onto it, and expects a reward, when instead an anvil drops on them
- This links to the fun, random aspect of it. It's a little bit of a gamble placing those items on the plate; you could end up gaining stronger items in the process, or losing them completely through a lava trap. The question is, do you take the risk?
- It only rewards those who have played well in the game. So, if you don't have enough items to place on the plate, as you haven't looted enough chests or killed enough people, then the contraption won't work and you'll be left to ponder on what you've missed out on.
- This could potentially mean that the stronger players get stronger quicker.
