Vines

Vines (commonly mistaken as Ivy) are a confirmed new addition into the Adventure Update and will be placeable on walls. They will also hang on leaves in Swamps. As of the Beta 1.8 pre-release, they take as long to break as leaves and drop nothing. However, they are collectable by using shears.

Trivia

 * Vines' grey shade in the terrain.png released by Jeb shows that its colour will vary between biomes.
 * At the PAX, Vines hadn't been given a name, and a mouse over would not give a title. This implies that they didn't have an official name at the time.
 * Vines cannot be climbed.
 * The player will be able to walk through vines.
 * If blocks are placed near a vine (such as the case of having a house built in a swamp biome, for instance), vines will start growing on the wall.
