String is an item primarily received by killing spiders and cave spiders, and used for the crafting recipes of many tools and utilities.

Obtaining

From spiders

Spiders and cave spiders drop up to 2 pieces of string upon death.

From cobwebs/tripwires

String can be obtained by destroying cobwebs and tripwires, which drop one piece per block destroyed.

From dungeons

String has an approximately 53% chance of spawning in a dungeon chest, where it will appear in stacks of 1–4 units.

From abandoned mine shafts

In abandoned mine shafts, there are cobwebs which can be cut with a sword or shears to get string.

From strongholds

Cobwebs can be found in libraries in strongholds, which can be used to obtain string.

As a crafting ingredient

String can be used to make wool, but this is rather wasteful as wool can be obtained from sheep; it is more economical to save string for making more fishing rods or more bows that can be used to make dispensers.

Tripwire

A tripwire is a small, gray wire that appears when string is placed. Tripwire is primarily used to output redstone signals when attached to tripwire hooks on opposite ends. Upon collision with most entities, a redstone pulse will be sent to the tripwire hooks connecting the tripwire. Tripwire's low visibility makes it an effective way of creating traps. Tripwire (along with tripwire hooks), generate only in jungle temples.

Usage

To activate a tripwire when it is connected, an entity (most mobs, minecarts, boats, arrows, items, etc.) must move on, through or over it. However, thrown potions, some arrows, thrown Ender pearls, and thrown eyes of Ender will not activate tripwire hooks. Destroying the tripwire while not holding shears will trigger a redstone pulse. The redstone signal must connect to the tripwire hook to be activated, not the tripwire itself. Tripwire can be connected to other tripwire for up to 40 blocks. You can connect hooks with tripwire on the ground or connect hooks through air (see details below). When a tripwire connection is formed, the hooks must be placed on both sides of the connection for it to have the ability to be activated.

Tripwires can also be used to help decorate a structure with vines. Placing a floating block of tripwire in midair without any attachments prevents vine blocks growing through it. This lets the player control where and how wide/long they want their vines to grow, or allows them to add patterns into the middle of large swaths of vines. This is particularly useful for high-altitude construction or floating islands that the player wants to have vines dangling from. Without a block to stop them, the vines will continue down until they hit the ground, but floating tripwires can keep them short and irregular without being seen for a more natural look (otherwise the player would have to use signs or other blocks that are conspicuous and/or bulky). This can also be used with carpets, as you can normally not place a carpet on Air, but you can on tripwire.

Tripwire can also be transformed into obsidian in a way very similar to redstone the infiniobsidian process, although there are a few more requirements. Just like in the redstone process tripwire needs to be placed next to water or flowing water and then have lava pour onto it. But the tripwire also needs to have a tripwire hook connected directly to it from the South and/or the West. Tripwire hooks connected from the North and/or East will only result in the destruction of the tripwire. Oddly though, when connected from opposing directions it will instead generate cobblestone. It will also result in cobblestone if the tripwire's hitbox is not that of redstone wire; meaning tripwire placed on a block with transparency will generate cobblestone.

Placing and removing tripwires

Tripwires are placed with string. Tripwires connect like redstone wire, and can connect to tripwire on all four sides. Tripwire can be placed in the air, by placing it next to any solid block. Tripwire can also be placed on other tripwires. When breaking a block below tripwire, the tripwire is broken, activating the signal and string is dropped. If tripwire is placed on any block with transparency (glass, leaves, signs, air, chests, pistons, glowstone, slabs, stairs, etc.), it will not connect to tripwire hooks or tripwire placed on any block that is not glass or leaves. Yet, when one of these blocks is broken, the tripwire is not dropped nor activated (the tripwire remains in the air). This the same for when one is broken that has another tripwire placed on top. Tripwire has the same function when in the air as if it was on the ground. When making tripwires, Dinnerbone stated there either needs to be no blocks under any wire/hook or all blocks under the wire/hook;[1] however this is not actually the case. Since this "mix and match" is based on whether or not the underlying block has a transparency value, any block with a transparency value can be "mixed and matched" with air. When breaking tripwire itself, it activates any tripwire or tripwire hooks that it was connected to. To disarm tripwire without activating the signal, you must break the block with shears. This will remove the block and drop string, yet will not activate the signal. Tripwire has the hitbox of a slab when it is not connected to tripwire hooks. When it is connected, the hitbox is the same as redstone wire, unless it's placed in the air. Tripwire can be "stacked" on itself when being placed, like stacking signs on signs, but it will still float after removing the tripwire/block under it.

A '''beetroot''' is a food and [[dye]] ingredient.

== Obtaining ==

=== Farming ===
Beetroots are obtained from harvesting a fully grown [[beetroots|crop block]], which drops 1 beetroot and 1-4 seeds ({{frac|2|5|7}} seeds per plant harvested on average). Seed yield can be increased using a tool enchanted with [[Fortune]], with Fortune III harvesting an average of {{frac|5|3|7}} seeds per plant.

These crops can be found growing in [[village]]s or can be grown from planted [[beetroot seeds]].<!-- Do not add locations for finding seeds. Where to find seeds is described in the article about the seeds. -->

== Usage ==

=== Food ===
A beetroot can be eaten to restore {{hunger|1}} [[hunger]] and 1.2 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]]. Six beetroots can be crafted into [[beetroot soup]], which restores six times the hunger and saturation of a single beetroot.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}

=== Breeding ===
Beetroots can be used to [[breeding|breed]] [[pig]]s. Pigs also follow a player who is holding beetroot.

[[Villager]]s can pick up beetroot items to become willing, allowing them to breed. Villagers need 12 beetroots before they can breed.

=== Composting ===
Placing beetroot into a [[composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

=== Trading ===

Novice-level Farmer villagers have a 25%{{only|bedrock}} or 40%{{only|java}} chance to buy 15 beetroots for an emerald.

Tags and Bits are items exclusive to the [[Java Edition 23w13a or b|23w13a_or_b]] [[Easter eggs#April Fools|April Fools' joke]] snapshot from 2023. They are used to craft in-game representations of [[NBT format|NBT tags]].

==Obtaining==
A [[stonecutter]] can be used to cut a [[Name Tag|name tag]] into either 16 "Name" or 16 "Tag" items. These can be cut into 16 Bit items each.

{{Stonecutting
|head=1
|showdescription=1
|Name Tag
|Name, 16; Tag, 16
|description=The resulting "Name" items must be named in an [[anvil]].
}}
{{Stonecutting
|showdescription=
|Name; Tag
|Bit, 16
|foot=1
}}

To be able to proceed from here the <code>nbt_crafting</code> vote must be approved. Bits can be used in a crafting table to craft Left Curly, Right Curly, Left Square, and Right Square. In appears like these are the only tag items that can be crafted from Bits.

A [[Crafting Table|crafting table]] can be used to convert a "Tag" item into a "Byte Tag." The amount of [[stick]]s added to the crafting recipe specifies the value of the Byte, as a [[wikipedia:Signed number representations#Two's complement|signed 8-bit value]]. For example, a "Tag" and a full stack of sticks make a Byte with the value <code>64b</code>, while 255 sticks result in <code>-1b</code>. Only one of the sticks is consumed. Two Bytes can be crafted into a "Short Tag" (equivalent to 16 bit), two Shorts into an "Int Tag" (equivalent to 32 bit), and two Ints into a "Long Tag" (equivalent to 64 bit). Many other combinations that form either 16, 32, or 64 bit are possible. For example, two Shorts and an Int make a Long. When combining values, their digits are stuck together in the given order, e.g. <code>1b</code> and <code>0b</code> make <code>256s</code> (equivalent to 0100<sub>16</sub> in [[wikipedia:Hexadecimal|hexadecimal]]). Undoing any of these crafting actions in e.g. a stonecutter is not possible.

"Float" and "Double Tags" can be crafted by adding one or two [[boat]]s to any numeric tag. A "String Tag" is crafted with a "Tag" and a piece of [[string]].

"Name" and "String Tags" must be named in an [[anvil]] before they can be used. Unnamed Names and Strings always produce a "Sssyntax Error". None of the other tag items can be named.

All these items can be combined in a crafting table to form a short sequence of JSON code, as long as the resulting syntax is valid. For example: 
*A pair of Curlies that enclose a named "Name" item and some value, e.g. a Byte, create a "Compound Tag" with the content <code>{Example:0b}</code>.
**Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 3 name-value pairs can be put between Curlies at a time. Compound Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more Compound Tags.
**An empty pair of Curlies produces an empty Compound Tag with the content <code>{}</code>.
*A pair of Square brackets that enclose any number of values, e.g. 7 Bytes, create a "List Tag" with the content <code>[0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b]</code>.
**Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 7 values can be put between Square brackets at a time. List Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more List Tags.
**An empty pair of Square brackets produces an empty List with the content <code>[]</code>.
**"Name" items cannot be used in a List.

The resulting Compound and List Tags can be used as values in other Compound and List Tags, as deeply nested as you want.

==Usage==
Tags appear to have no further functionality. They cannot be eaten or placed in the world, except in an item frame, as each other item can. However, Compound Tags with values like <code>{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:sharpness",lvl:127b}]}</code> will show the [[Enchanting|enchantment]] glint and actually act accordingly when used.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/129xdyl/i_figure_out_how_the_nbtcrafting_in_the_vote/</ref> This appears to work with many weapon and tool [[Enchanting#Summary of enchantments by item|enchantments]].

In theory, an extremely lucky <code>replace_recipe_output</code> vote can change the crafting recipe for compound tags to output something else. When cheats are enabled you can test this with a command like <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output approve {key:"minecraft:compound_tag",value:"minecraft:netherite_sword"}</code>. However, as long as this vote is approved no other compound tag can be crafted. Use <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output repeal *</code> to undo all recipe replacements.

In combination with the <code>midas_touch</code> vote tag items can be converted into [[Gold Ingot|gold ingots]]. These retain their NBT data. When the world is loaded in another version of the game tag items disappear, but gold ingots persist.

==Trivia==
*This implies that a [[Name Tag|name tag]] is 128 bit.
*Compound and list tags are special in so far that the value they show in their [[tooltip]] is not merely a property of the item, but their ''actual'' [[NBT format|NBT data]]. This is also the reason why naming them is disabled as that would mess up the NBT data.
*The snapshot also contains an [[History of textures/Unused textures|unused texture]] for an {{ItemLink|End Tag}}.

Chestplates can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[armor material]]'s repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the chestplate's maximum durability, rounded down.

=== Mob loot ===

[[Zombie]]s and [[skeleton]]s have a small chance to spawn wearing any armor. There is an 8.5% chance (9.5% with [[Looting]] I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop a chestplate upon death. The chestplate the mob drops is usually badly damaged, and rarely enchanted.

[[Vindicator]]s and [[Pillager]]s spawning in [[raid]]s have a 4.1% chance (5.12% on hard difficulty) to drop iron chestplate, which is almost always badly damaged and rarely enchanted.

=== Natural generation ===

== Usage ==

Chestplates can be placed in the 2nd armor slot of a player's [[inventory]] for activation.

=== Defense points ===

Defense points are each signified by chestplates in the armor bar above the [[health]] bar. 1 defense point is half of a chestplate in the armor bar. Each defense point reduces any damage dealt to the player, which is absorbed by armor by 4%, increasing additively with the number of defense points. Different materials and combinations of armor provide different levels of defense.

The following table shows the amount of defense points added by chestplates.

{| class="wikitable" data-description="Chestplate defense points"
|-

| rowspan="2" | {{armor|8}}
|-

|}

===Knockback Resistance ===

A netherite chestplate provides 10% knockback resistance.

=== Durability ===

The following table shows the amount of damage each piece of armor can absorb before being destroyed.

Any "hit" from a damage source that can be blocked by armor removes one point of durability from each piece of armor worn for every {{hp|4}} of incoming damage (rounded down, but never below 1). Damage taken that unenchanted armor does not protect against (such as [[Damage#Fall damage|falling]] or [[Damage#Drowning|drowning]]) does not damage the armor, even if it is enchanted to protect against that type of damage. The following chart displays how many hits chest plates can endure.

Netherite armor is not damaged by [[lava]] or [[fire]] when worn.

|}

==== Repair ====

Chestplates may be [[item repair|repaired]] by using them along with some of their crafting material ([[leather]], [[gold ingot]]s, [[iron ingot]]s, [[diamond]]s, or [[netherite ingot]]s) in an [[anvil]]. Chainmail chestplates may be repaired in this way with iron ingots. They may also be repaired by crafting them together with another chestplate of the same material.

=== Enchantments ===

A chestplate can receive the following [[enchantment]]s:

{| class="wikitable"
|-

|-
| [[Fire Protection]] || IV || <ref group=note name=exclusive>Fire Protection, Blast Protection, Projectile Protection and Protection are mutually exclusive</ref>

=== Smelting usage ===

{{Smelting|showname=1|Iron Chestplate;Chainmail Chestplate;Golden Chestplate|Iron Nugget;Iron Nugget;Gold Nugget|0,1}}
=== Piglins ===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to ''golden'' chestplates and pick them up, examining them for 6 to 8 seconds. Piglins can wear other chestplates but are not attracted to them. They prefer stronger chestplates over weaker chestplates, with one exception: They always prefer golden chestplates over all other chestplates, throwing out stronger chestplates to equip them. Enchanted chestplates are preferred over unenchanted chestplates.

{{Item
| image = Lead.png
| stackable = Yes (64)
| renewable = Yes
}}
'''Leads''' are [[tool]]s used to leash and lead passive and neutral [[animal]]s, [[golem]]s and some [[monster]]s.

== Obtaining ==
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|lead}}

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
  |A1= String
  |B1= String    
  |A2= String
  |B2= Slimeball
  |C3= String
  |Output= Lead,2
  |type= Tool
}}

=== Mob loot ===
[[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.

== Usage ==
=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Leashing mobs ===
[[File:SuspendedPigs.png|190px|thumb|One block tall mobs, such as pigs, suspend at 7 blocks above the ground.]]
[[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:

{{columns-list|colwidth=20em|
* {{EntityLink|Allay}}
* {{EntityLink|Axolotl}}
* {{EntityLink|Bee}}
* {{EntityLink|Boat}}{{only|bedrock}}
* {{EntityLink|Camel}}
* {{EntityLink|Cat}}
* {{EntityLink|Chicken}}
* {{EntityLink|Chicken Jockey}} (only the mount)
* {{EntityLink|Cow}}
* {{EntityLink|Dolphin}}

* {{EntityLink|Fox}}
* {{EntityLink|Frog}}

* {{EntityLink|Squid}}
* {{EntityLink|Strider}}
* {{EntityLink|Trader Llama}}
* {{EntityLink|Wolf}}
* {{EntityLink|Zoglin}}
* {{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.

[[File:Steve wearing Lead.png|100px]] [[File:Alex wearing Lead.png|100px]]
* The lead is named as "leash" in the texture file.
* If a [[player]] goes to sleep while holding a mob on a lead, the lead remains attached.
* {{IN|Java}}, when using the {{cmd|item}} command to put a lead in a player's head slot, the item gets rotated and positioned in such a way that it looks like the player is wearing a monocle.

Despite using [[Iron Ingot|iron]] in its crafting recipe, shears cannot be smelted into [[iron nugget]]s.<ref>{{bug|MC-111738}}</ref>

===Trading===

Novice-level Shepherd [[villager]]s have a 40% chance to sell shears for 2 [[emerald]]s in Java Edition. This trade is always offered in Bedrock Edition.

{{LootChestItem|shears}}

==Usage==

===Shearing===
Shears lose 1 [[durability]] when used to shear something.

Shears can be {{Control|use|text=used}} on a [[sheep]] to remove its coat and drop 1–3 [[wool]] of the corresponding color. The same sheep can be sheared again after it eats from a [[grass block]] to regenerate its coat.

Shearing a [[mooshroom]] drops 5 [[mushroom]]s of the corresponding color and irreversibly turns it into a normal [[cow]].

Shearing a [[snow golem]] irreversibly removes its pumpkin, dropping it and revealing its face.

Shearing either a [[beehive]] or [[bee nest]] that is full of honey makes it drop 3 [[honeycomb]]s and resets it to honey level 0. The same beehive or bee nest can be sheared again if it is able to reach full honey again. If sheared by hand without a [[campfire]] below the hive or nest all bees within will exit and all nearby bees will attack the offending player. 

[[Dispenser]]s can use shears in any of the above listed ways, interacting with any valid block or entity in front of the dispenser's face. This decreases the shears' [[durability]]. A dispenser shearing a beehive or bee nest will not anger bees or cause them to leave even if there is not a campfire below it.

Shearing a [[pumpkin]] turns it into a [[carved pumpkin]], dropping 4 [[pumpkin seeds]].

{{IN|java}}, shearing the tip of [[cave vines]], [[kelp]], [[weeping vines]], or [[twisting vines]] sets its age value to 25 and stops further growth.

===Breaking blocks===
Shears use 1 [[durability]] when is used to break any block, even if it [[instant mining|breaks instantly]] by hand.

Shears can be used to harvest [[cobweb|cobwebs]], [[leaves]], [[grass|grass, tall grass]], [[seagrass|seagrass, tall seagrass]], [[fern|ferns, large fern]]s, [[dead bush]]es, [[nether sprouts]], [[vines]], [[glow lichen]] or [[hanging roots]] and obtain them in item form. They can also be used to break [[tripwire]] connected to a [[tripwire hook]] without activating it.

When shears are used to break [[Weeping Vines|weeping vines]] or [[Twisting Vines|twisting vines]] they are guaranteed to drop in item form instead of the usual 33% chance. This only applies to vines directly broken by shears and not vines that are broken due to the destruction of their supporting vines.

The following table shows information about blocks that can be broken with shears. Colors indicate what gets dropped when the block is broken:

*White: The original block.
*Blue: The block's normal drop (i.e. string, sticks, seeds, saplings, apples).
*Red: Nothing.

== Usage ==

While equipped, [[player]]s can {{control|use}} glow sticks to shake them, causing them to appear bright regardless of the [[light]] level. This is only an aesthetic change, as no light is emitted to the surrounding area. A [[particle]] effect is visible until the [[durability]] runs out.

== Trivia ==
* The glowing reaction of [[Wikipedia:Luminol|Luminol]] during oxidation exists in real life. It is used for detecting blood in crime scenes.
* Players cannot enchant glow sticks with Unbreaking or Mending, despite the items having [[durability]].
* The black and light gray glow sticks use the same texture as the red glow stick.{{verify|It seems they use the missing texture instead. Was this the case beforehand, and they only started using the missing texture later?}}

'''Nether wart''' is a fungus harvested from nether wart crops and is used to plant them, as well as being vital in the creation of [[potions]].

'''Nether wart crops''' are found in [[Nether Fortress/Structure|nether fortresses]] and [[Bastion Remnant|bastions]] and is used to grow nether wart in [[Soul Sand|soul sand]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Nether wart can be mined instantly with any tool. A fully mature nether wart crop yields 2–4 nether wart. This is increased by one for each level of [[Fortune]], this allows for a maximum of 7 nether warts dropping from one crop. Less mature stages drop one nether wart, even with the Fortune enchantment.

=== Natural generation ===
Nether wart can generate in [[nether fortress]]es in [[soul sand]] gardens around stairwells. Nether wart can also generate in the courtyards of housing unit [[bastion remnant]]s. Due to only spawning in these specific structures, it's entirely possible for a nether fortress or bastion remnant to generate without nether wart (though they may still appear in the chests that generate in the fortress).

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Trading ===

Master-level cleric [[villager]]s buy 22 nether warts for an [[emerald]] as part of their trades.

=== Farming ===
{{main|Tutorials/Nether Wart farming}}
When planted on [[soul sand]], nether wart grows through four stages, though the middle two stages use the same texture (the hitbox of stage 3 is three pixels taller). {{IN|java}}, the exact age can be seen using the [[debug screen]], and the ages range from 0 to 3. Each random tick, nether wart has a 10% chance of growing one stage. At default random tick speed, each nether wart grows one age step approximately every {{convert|13653|ticks|minutes}} on average, and fully grows from planting to harvest every {{convert|40960|ticks|minutes}} on average. The growth rate is not affected by light or any other environmental factors. [[Bone meal]] cannot be used on the nether wart.

Nether wart can only be planted on [[soul sand]]. It cannot be planted on [[soul soil]]. It can grow in any [[dimension]].

Nether wart is ready to harvest when it reaches its fourth stage (age:3). Breaking a fully grown nether wart drops 2 to 4 nether wart, while an immature one drops a single nether wart. Using a tool enchanted with fortune increases the maximum number of nether wart dropped by 1 per level, for a maximum of 7 for a tool enchanted with [[Fortune|Fortune III]].

=== Composting ===
Placing a nether wart into a [[composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

== Trivia ==
* Nether wart's stage changes cannot be detected by a [[block update detector]], but can by an [[observer]] block.
* Unlike other crimson "plants", nether wart doesn't have a warped equivalent. This is also the case with [[nether sprouts]], which lack a crimson equivalent.

Added the tripwire hook giving the ability to place the string.

Trivia

  • Walking onto or off from any piece of string next to a BUD switch, will cause it to update even if the string isn't connected to tripwire hooks. Breaking the block with Shears will do the same.
  • Tripwire has the highest resolution of any block in the game: 64x64. In 13w03a this is tied with the Locked Chest.
  • String is also referred to as "Silk".
  • Tripwire can be placed on top of itself.
  • When tripwire is placed upon ice or glass, its hit-box increases in size and the wire itself lays higher than normal. This makes it easier to see the wire, but it still functions as normal.
