'''Leads''' are [[tool]]s used to leash and lead passive and neutral [[animal]]s, [[golem]]s and some [[monster]]s.

[[Wandering Trader|Wandering trader]]s always spawn with 2 [[llama|trader llama]]s, each held with a lead. When a trader llama is detached, either by killing it or the wandering trader, dragging them far apart, or putting the llama in a [[boat]] or a [[minecart]], the lead drops at the llama's position.

[[File:SuspendedCows.png|190px|thumb|Two block tall mobs, such as cows, also suspend at 7 blocks above the ground.]]
{{control|Using}} a lead on a [[mob]] ties the lead to the mob, allowing it to be moved by the player. Multiple mobs can be held by leads at once, but each mob held requires its own lead.
It is possible to leash the following mobs and other entities:

* {{EntityLink|Zombie Horse}}}}
Additionally, [[villager]]s, [[wandering trader]]s, and [[monster]]s other than the ones listed above, can be leashed using a map editor or [[NBT]] editor.
With a mob on a lead held by the player, {{control|using}} the lead on any type of [[fence]] (or [[wall]]{{only|bedrock|short=1}}) attaches the lead to it with a visible knot, tying the mob to it. To attach it to a wall on Bedrock Edition, the player must hold a lead in the main hand.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-108078}}</ref> Multiple leads may be attached to one fence post. A mob tied to a fence tends to stay within 5 blocks of the fence post.
A lead is broken by pressing the {{control|use item}} control on the mob again, hitting the knot, or removing the attached fence post. Leads also break when hit by projectiles. Whenever a lead is removed or broken, it drops as an [[item (entity)|item]] at the location of the mob. However, it does not drop when unleashed in Creative mode.{{only|java}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-79639}}</ref> A lead does not break if the attached animal dies.
A lead can stretch a maximum of 10 blocks. If the mob is able to move towards the player or fence post, it does so. If not, or if the mob is moving very quickly away from the player, the lead breaks.
When the player or the knot is more than 7 blocks above the ground, the mob being leashed becomes suspended.
Most mobs that can be leashed can still be leashed even if attacking the player leashing them, and any attached leads do not break.
[[Wolf|Wolves]] cannot be leashed after becoming angry. Despite this, if they become angry while already leashed, the lead does not break, but it cannot be reattached when broken through other methods while the wolf is still angry.
A lead attached to a hoglin breaks if it becomes a [[zoglin]].
A lead does not prevent mobs from despawning if they normally would despawn.
When moving downwards and accelerating towards the ground, leashed mobs accumulate fall damage and take it if they hit the ground while still accelerating. When moving up or decelerating (such as when the lead is stretched to its limit), the fall distance is set to one block and the mob therefore does not take any fall damage if it touches the ground.
If the player walks into and back out of a [[nether portal]] while holding a lead connected to a mob, the lead remains attached to the mob. However, if a mob attached to a lead walks into a nether portal, the lead breaks and drops as an item in the other dimension.
A lead can be used to remove a mob from a boat without needing to break the boat, if the mob can normally be leashed.
If a chunk unloads while containing a leashed mob (either by the player walking too far away, or traveling to another dimension via a portal), the lead breaks and drops as an item, leaving the mob free to wander around.

'''String''' is an item used in [[crafting]] recipes such as [[bow]]s, [[fishing rod]]s and [[lead]]s. When placed as a [[block]], string becomes '''tripwire''', which can be combined with [[Tripwire Hook|tripwire hooks]] to form a tripwire circuit.
== Obtaining==
String can be obtained from [[drop]]s, breaking [[cobweb]]s, [[fishing]], [[bartering]], and as gifts from [[cat]]s. String can be looted from [[jungle temple]]s, [[desert pyramid]] chests, and [[dungeon]]s.
===Breaking ===
Tripwire can be {{control|mine|text=mined}} instantly with any [[tool]], dropping string. Tripwire is also removed and drops string as an [[item]] when:
*[[Water]] flows into its space
* A [[piston]] pushes it or moves a [[block]] into its space
Tripwire is destroyed without dropping string if [[lava]] flows into its space.
A [[cobweb]] drops string when it is broken in these ways (see also {{section link|Cobweb|Usage}}):
*Breaking a cobweb with a [[sword]]
*Pushing a cobweb with a [[piston]]
*[[Water]] breaking a cobweb by flowing over it (flowing [[lava]] destroys cobwebs without leaving string)
===Natural generation===
Five pieces of tripwire generate naturally in every [[jungle temple]].
===Mob loot ===
[[Spider]]s and [[cave spider]]s drop 0–2 string upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 string with Looting III.
[[Strider]]s drop 2–5 string upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 2–8 string with Looting III.{{only|Java|short=1}}
[[Cat]]s drop 0–2 string upon death, unaffected by Looting.<ref>{{bug|MC-200707||Looting does not increase drops for iron golems and cats}}</ref>
===Chest loot===
{{LootChestItem|string}}
===Fishing===
String has a 0.6% ({{frac|3|500}}) chance of being caught when [[fishing]] with an unenchanted fishing rod. The chance decreases to 0.5% ({{frac|1|200}}), 0.4% ({{frac|1|250}}), and 0.3% ({{frac|3|1000}}) if the fishing rod is enchanted with [[Luck of the Sea]] at enchantment levels I, II, and III, respectively.
===Cat gifts===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}
Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance of giving the [[player]] a gift when they wake up from a [[bed]], and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a string.
===Bartering ===
[[Piglin]]s may [[barter]] 3-9 string when given a [[gold ingot]].
== Usage==
String can be used as a crafting ingredient and tripwire can be used as a [[redstone circuit]] component. It can also be used to keep [[player]]s from ender-pearling through that space.
=== Crafting ingredient===
{{crafting usage}}
===Redstone component===
{{redirect|Tripwire|tripwire hooks|Tripwire Hook}}
{{see also|Redstone circuits}}
String can be placed as tripwire, which can be used to detect [[entity|entities]] as part of a tripwire circuit. [[Observer]]s can also be used with a tripwire to generate redstone signals.
;Placement
To place tripwire, {{control|use}} string while pointing at a surface facing the space the tripwire should occupy.
{{Schematic | caption =
'''Tripwire Circuit'''
|SB|th-$w|tw-$ew|th-$e|SB
}}
:In order to activate [[tripwire hook]]s, tripwire must be part of a "tripwire circuit": a straight line of [[block]]s consisting of a block with a tripwire hook attached to it, a "tripwire line" (1 to 40 blocks of tripwire), and a second tripwire hook attached to another block.
;Activation
Tripwire activates if almost any [[entity]] ([[player]]s, [[mob]]s, [[minecart]]s, [[boat]]s, [[item]]s, [[arrow]]s, etc.) intersects its collision mask. The tripwire remains active until there are no entities intersecting its collision mask. Thrown [[potion]]s, some arrows, thrown [[ender pearl]]s, and thrown [[eyes of ender]] do not activate tripwire.
;Behavior
An active tripwire updates adjacent [[block]]s (for example, it can activate a [[Tutorials/Block update detector|BUD circuit]]). Additionally, active tripwires that are part of valid tripwire circuits cause the attached tripwire hooks to activate (producing [[redstone]] power). Active tripwires do ''not'' themselves produce redstone power.
When tripwire is broken (including by being washed away by spreading [[water]] {{in|java}}) after being part of a valid tripwire circuit, it activates the attached tripwire hooks. {{IN|JE}}, it activates for 5 redstone ticks (10 game [[tick]]s, or 0.5 seconds barring lag). {{IN|BE}}, it activates for 6 redstone ticks (14 game [[tick]]s, or 0.6 seconds barring lag). It does not produce the signal if it is broken using [[shear]]s.
===Trading===
Novice-level fisherman [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to buy 20 string as part of their first-tier trade.
Journeyman-level fletcher villagers buy 14 string for 1 [[emerald]] as part of their trade.
