Vines[1] (sometimes mistaken as Ivy) are a confirmed new addition into the Adventure Update and will be placeable on walls.[2][3] They will also hang on leaves in Swamps.[4] 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 don't 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 cannot be placed directly on blocks like chests, workbenches and the cobweb block. However, they can be grown around them.
  • Vines are flamable
  • Vines block LoS (line of sight) to mobs, so it is possible to sneak up on mobs by hiding behind vines.
  • You cannot place vines directly below blocks but they can grow under blocks.
  • When placed on a wall that is touching the bottom of a block, The vine will also attach to the bottom of the block.
  • Vines have the same colour as foliage has in a specific biome.


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.[5]
  • The player is able to walk through vines. [6]
  • When using F5 or watch someone else, Vines, when holding, have a gray texture.
