Step 7- Obtain a string by killing spiders.

Tripwire Hooks can be utilized in Redstone engineering. By placing tripwire hooks parallel to one another, the player can then add String to arm their tripwire. Now the Tripwire Hooks will automatically send a signal when some creature walks through your string trap. Use this to trigger a deadly trap such as an arrow dispenser or other means.

Q. What should I avoid when setting up traps using the Tripwire Hook?

You must avoid any water or pistons interfering with the Hooks themselves. Beyond that precaution, they are not easily destroyed with the exception of lava.

Q. Is there any reason to hold onto excess Tripwire Hooks?

Tripwire hooks are necessary crafting ingredients for both Trapped Chests and Crossbows, which are useful in both PvP and PvE contexts. You can use Crossbows as a powerful ranged weapon, while the Trapped Chest is a sneakier tool which can actually be activated by Tripwire Hooks.

Tripwire Hooks are very inexpensive blocks. If any entity, including a player, mob, or even a thrown item passes through the Tripwire Hook’s string, it will automatically activate and transmit a redstone signal. Create a secret base, puzzle or other feature using this highly versatile detection block. You will find no other block that can monitor as large of an area as the Tripwire Hooks.
