Vines - Items

Description:

Vines (also called Ivy) are non-solid blocks, 1⁄16 of a block in thickness, that can only be placed against a solid block, such as onto walls and ceilings, and can be climbed similarly to ladders. Unlike ladders, vines do not have a collision box, so the Player cannot 'walk' on top of a vine without falling; however, like ladders, it is possible to 'hang' on vines by sneaking. Vines have the same color as other foliage in the same biome. They commonly grow on leaf and wood blocks in swamp and jungle biomes, but they will also spread onto stone, planks and most other block types. Vines will not spread onto glass blocks, but they can grow as to 'hang down' in front of and next to the glass block if validly placed above them. Vines take as long to break as leaves and drop nothing if broken by hand, but they can be collected using shears. Although they can be placed after collection, they can only be placed onto the side of a solid block, not on the top or bottom. Breaking a block after vines are placed on it will cause the vines to disappear unless they are still supported by other vines. Vines are considered 'replaceable' in the same way as Grass and Fire. This means that one may place a block in the same space as a vine block, and that will cause the vine block to be instantly removed. Like tall grass, vines are most effectively destroyed by water; vines on a tall structure can easily be washed away by placing a water source block at the top of the structure. If the player is near a swamp or jungle biome, vines may be easier to obtain than ladders. This makes them useful as a ladder substitute, if the player has run out of ladders, does not want to use them, or particularly wants a 'green' or camouflaged look for a building design. Vines can be placed directly on Chests and Crafting tables by placing them while sneaking. They can not be placed on Cobwebs, though.
