Field guide

Item details

How to obtain

  • Dropped by defeated spiders and cave spiders in quantities of 0-2 (increased with Looting). Source
  • Harvested by breaking cobwebs with a sword or shears, or bartered from piglins. Source

Practical uses

  • Essential for crafting bows, crossbows, fishing rods, leads, and white wool. Source
  • Placed on the ground between tripwire hooks to create invisible redstone crossing alarm sensors. Source

Mechanics

  • Placed string is nearly invisible in dim light; breaking it without shears triggers connected tripwire hooks. Source
