Cobweb
minecraft:cobwebCobweb is a decorative and tactical block that drastically slows anything moving through it, whether player, mob, or item. It is best harvested with shears to keep the block intact, or with a sword to instantly break it into string.
Uses
- Traps and mob control — Placed in corridors or pits, cobweb slows enemies to roughly a quarter speed, making it a common trap and mob-farm ingredient.
- Potion of Weaving — Cobweb is brewed with an Awkward Potion to create a Potion of Weaving, which coats a target in cobweb on impact.
- Fall damage prevention — Landing in cobweb negates fall damage, making it useful for parkour builds and safety nets.
Found In
- Mineshafts and strongholds — Generates around rails, chests, and library shelves.
- Woodland mansions and trial chambers — Found decorating rooms and corridors as an obstacle.
- Igloo basements and abandoned villages — Appears in hidden basement rooms and derelict structures.
FAQ
What tool do I need to keep the Cobweb block?
Shears. Breaking cobweb with shears drops the cobweb block itself; almost any other tool leaves only string or nothing.
What does breaking Cobweb with a sword give?
One String, and it breaks instantly since swords are effective against cobweb.
Does Cobweb affect fall damage?
Yes. Falling into cobweb cancels fall damage entirely, similar to landing in water or hay bales.
Can Fortune increase Cobweb drops?
No. Cobweb drop quantities are fixed regardless of Fortune; only the tool used changes what item you receive.
