Wooden Shears Mod — Guide

Mechanics and Usage

Wooden Shears support all behaviors associated with vanilla shears. They allow players to interact with the environment and mobs in specific ways that are otherwise impossible or inefficient.

Mob Interactions

• Sheep: Right-clicking a sheep will shear its wool, dropping 1–3 wool blocks of the sheep's color. This does not harm the sheep.
• Mooshrooms: Shearing a Mooshroom (Red or Brown) will drop 5 mushrooms of the corresponding type and transform the Mooshroom into a standard Cow.
• Snow Golems: Right-clicking a Snow Golem will remove its pumpkin head, revealing its true face underneath.

Block Harvesting

Wooden Shears allow for the "Silk Touch" style harvesting of specific organic blocks that would otherwise break or drop different items: * Leaves: Harvests any leaf block (Oak, Spruce, etc.) for use in decoration. * Cobwebs: Instantly harvests cobwebs as an item instead of dropping string. * Plants: Harvests Tall Grass, Seagrass, Ferns, Large Ferns, Dead Bushes, and Vines. * Glow Lichen: Allows for the collection of Glow Lichen blocks.

Specialty Mechanics

• Pumpkins: Used to carve a face into a placed Pumpkin, turning it into a Carved Pumpkin (required for making Jack o' Lanterns or Golems).
• Beehives and Bee Nests: When a hive or nest reaches honey level 5, using Wooden Shears will harvest 3 Honeycombs. (Caution: This will anger the bees unless a campfire is placed underneath).
• Tripwires: Shearing a tripwire connected to a tripwire hook will break the wire without triggering the redstone signal, allowing for safe passage through traps.

Items

The mod adds a single primary item to the game's toolset.

Wooden Shears

Wooden Shears are the wooden-tier equivalent of the vanilla iron shears. They are used for shearing mobs and harvesting blocks that require a delicate touch.

By default, the tool has 50 uses, which is roughly 1/5th the durability of iron shears (238). This durability can be modified or disabled entirely through the server configuration file.

Recipes

Crafting Wooden Shears is straightforward and requires only basic materials available from the start of the game. They can be crafted using any type of wooden plank, including Oak, Spruce, Birch, Jungle, Acacia, Dark Oak, Mangrove, Cherry, Bamboo, Crimson, or Warped planks.

Crafting Table Recipe

To craft Wooden Shears, place two planks of the same type diagonally in the crafting grid.

Note: The recipe is shapeless in some versions, but typically follows the diagonal pattern of standard shears.
