Cobweb

A cobweb is a block that drastically slows down the movement of most entities touching it. The Weaving effect lessens this movement speed decrease.

Cobwebs can be obtained as an item using shears. Cobwebs can also be obtained with a sword enchanted with Silk Touch, which is possible only through commands or while in Creative mode‌[JE only]. A cobweb drops one piece of string if broken with a non-Silk Touch sword, if water touches or flows over it, or a piston pushes it. Breaking cobwebs costs two durability on a sword. It drops nothing when broken using anything else, or if lava flows over it.

Cobwebs generate naturally in mineshafts, stronghold libraries, igloo basements, abandoned villages, woodland mansion spider spawner rooms, trial chambers around specific trial spawners and abandoned camps.​[upcoming: Third Drop 2026]
