Shearable Vines Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I use shears on vines?
Equip shears in your hand and right-click on any vine block. The vine will be sheared and stop growing in that direction, just like cave vines do in vanilla Minecraft.
Do sheared vines drop anything?
Shearing vines with this mod works the same as shearing other blocks—the vine itself remains in place but stops growing, and no items are dropped.
Can I regrow a vine after shearing it?
No, once a vine is sheared, it will not grow back. If you want to restore vine growth, you'll need to break the block and let a new vine grow naturally from an adjacent block.
Does this mod work on all types of vines?
This mod allows you to shear regular vines (the kind found in jungles and swamps). It gives them the same shearing mechanic as cave vines, which already had this feature in vanilla.
Will shearing vines damage my tools?
Shears will take durability damage when you shear vines, just as they do with any other shearable block in Minecraft.
Can I create patterns with sheared and unsheared vines?
Yes, by selectively shearing vines, you can create decorative patterns where some vines stop growing while others continue, giving you full control over the final appearance.
Does this mod affect vine growth speed or spreading?
The mod only adds the ability to shear vines to stop their growth—it doesn't change how fast vines grow or how they spread naturally.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
This mod is lightweight and only adds a simple mechanic to existing vine blocks, so it should have no noticeable impact on performance.
Does this work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, the shearing mechanic works on multiplayer servers. All players with the mod installed will see the same sheared vines.
What if I shear a vine by accident?
You'll need to break the sheared vine block and let a new vine grow naturally from an adjacent block, since sheared vines cannot regrow.
