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.


 * 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.


 * Vines can grow in any direction when placed on a block. When there is no block next to the block where the vine is on it can grow to the side of the block. The vine can even grow up.


 * When vines grow they dont need a block below them to attach themself to. However the most top vine needs an block to be attached to. If that block is destroyed all vines are destroyed.


 * Vines cant be placed directly on blocks like chests, workbenches and web. However they can be grown around them.


 * Vines are flamable

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.
