Crafting Recipe
2 iron ingots placed diagonally = 1 shears. Main uses: shear sheep (1-3 wool without killing), collect leaves, trim grass/vines. One of the most useful tools.
Collection Advantage
Shears harvest wool without hurting the sheep (it regrows), collect leaves as building blocks, gather cobwebs into string, and take vines and jack o'lanterns. With 238 durability it is a low-wear everyday tool.
Practical Uses
In a wool farm, shearing is sustainable and far more efficient than killing sheep. While exploring, shear cobwebs for string instead of fighting spiders, and shear leaves to bulk-collect decorative blocks.
