Talk:Tripwire Hook

Block update
As I just tested, not only the Hooks cause a blockupdate on triggering and defusing, but also the wire itself. Could be quite handy when designing 'undefusable traps' or 'trap traps' only triggering when beeing defused. Somebody may add this to the main page, as I'm unfamiliar with the wikicode :P Fred1975 13:55, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Minecart-Detector
Tripwires are currently the best detectors for full/empty Minecarts. If the wire is placed just above the rails, it will only trigger when a Player or Mob is in it. That can either be used to send empty carts back, or for Mobs-transportation-systems: A Minecart running thorugh the mob-area all the time, and if a mob enters, its send to a different (maybe killing) Area.
