Spider Web
Spider Web is a unique block that can be placed in multiple configurations and serves both defensive and utility purposes. When used as an item, it can be thrown as a projectile or placed directly. Spider Webs slow down entities that move through them and can be placed on various surfaces in different orientations.
Obtaining
Spider Webs can be obtained by breaking them with Shears or tools enchanted with Silk Touch. Without these tools, they drop 2 String instead.
Spider Webs generate naturally in caves underground, specifically in:
- 30% chance to spawn in Spider Egg Clusters
Usage
When held as an item, Spider Webs have two distinct usage modes:
- Direct Placement: Right-clicking on a nearby surface will attempt to place the web block directly
- Projectile Mode: Right-clicking when no valid placement surface is within reach, or when targeting empty space, throws the web as a projectile
Ground-type Spider Webs significantly slow down entities that walk through them. The slowdown effect is enhanced for entities with the Weaving status effect.
Placement
Spider Webs can be placed in several different configurations depending on the placement context:
When placed on top of solid blocks or on horizontal surfaces, Spider Webs form ground-type configurations that create movement-slowing areas.
When placed hanging from ceilings or other solid blocks, Spider Webs form vertical chains that can extend downward. You can climb these webs like ladders.
