Distinguish Real Cobwebs from Decorative Ones

Visual and Functional Differences

The mod adds decorative fake cobwebs alongside vanilla cobwebs. Understanding the difference helps you manage your builds effectively.

Real Cobwebs:

  • Slow down player movement when walked through
  • Can be removed with torches or flint and steel
  • Found naturally in dungeons, caves, and abandoned structures
  • Serve no decorative purpose

Decorative Fake Cobwebs:

  • Don't affect movement—you pass through freely
  • Cannot be removed with torches or flint and steel
  • Placed manually for aesthetic purposes
  • Purely visual

Practical Use

When exploring, real cobwebs will slow you down noticeably. If you encounter cobwebs that don't impede movement, they're likely decorative blocks placed by another player.

For your own builds, use real cobwebs sparingly in functional areas where you don't want movement penalties. Reserve decorative cobwebs for atmospheric zones where you want the look without the gameplay impact.
