String is a crafting component in Minecraft used in several recipes, including Bows, Fishing Rods, Scaffolding, and Tripwires for traps and other Redstone contraptions. Fishing Rods and Bow weaponry, in particular, can be crucial for survival in certain situations for Survival Mod. For instance, players might need a Bow to endure the onslaught of a Raid or take out a Creeper from a safe distance. Fishing Rods can be immensely useful for farming rarities like Enchanted Books or procuring a steady supply of edible Fish. Whatever the case, String will be a resource that survivors need sooner or later during their playthrough.

To make String, players need to find Cobwebs, a sticky Block commonly found in Mineshafts, Stronghold Libraries, Abandoned Villages, and Woodland Mansions in Minecraft. If placed on a Crafting Table, a single stack of Cobweb can produce String ×9. However, keep in mind that this dismantle recipe is only available in Bedrock, not Java.

The appearance of Cobwebs at a location typically indicates that there a Spiders nearby. According to YouTuber YourSixGaming, finding and slaying these Spiders can grant players 1-2 stacks of String. In brightly lit areas or Overworld zones during daylight, Spiders are neutral until attacked. However, if users encounter a Spider after nightfall or within a dark location, such as a cave, the Spider will be hostile.
Cobwebs and Spiders are not the only sources of String in Minecraft. String can also be found in chests found in Jungle Temples, Desert Pyramids, or Dungeons. Moreover, there is a 4% chance that players will receive String when bartering with Piglins in the Nether. Remember to wear a piece of golden equipment before doing business with these semi-neutral creatures. Additionally, String can be an item sold by Villager Fletchers and Fishermen. Fishermen will have String available in their wares at the Novice level of trading. On the other hand, the Fletcher will only start selling String after it reaches Journeyman. Wandering Traders do not sell String, regardless of the Minecraft version.
