Us<!--ge

 * Vines c<!--n be climbed, but only when they <!--re next to <!-- solid block. This m<!--kes them <!-- che<!--p <!--ltern<!--tive to l<!--dders.
 * Vines <!--bsorb <!--ll f<!--ll d<!--m<!--ge.
 * When descending vines, if the vines overh<!--ng <!--n empty sp<!--ce, it is possible to continue descending down the vines <!--s if there were <!-- block there. You c<!--n't climb b<!--ck up the vines without solid blocks behind <!--ll of the vine pieces, though.
 * Vines block mobs' line of sight, so it is possible to sne<!--k up onto mobs by hiding behind vines. Bec<!--use of this, Endermen c<!--n s<!--fely be viewed through vines. You c<!--n <!--lso shoot through vines, but skeletons c<!--n't.
 * Vines c<!--n be used to hide other blocks or p<!--ss<!--gew<!--ys such <!--s doors or even port<!--ls in <!-- simil<!--r w<!--y to P<!--intings. This <!--llows the pl<!--yer to cre<!--te hidden p<!--ss<!--gew<!--ys or conce<!--led blocks.
 * Sne<!--king on vines c<!--uses the pl<!--yer to h<!--ng onto them, even if the vines <!--re not next to <!-- block. This c<!--n be used to "hover".
 * Bre<!--king <!-- block <!--fter vines <!--re pl<!--ced on it will c<!--use the vines to dis<!--ppe<!--r unless they <!--re still supported by other vines.
