How to make a Cobweb in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a cobweb with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a cobweb is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game. Gathering a cobweb is a bit tricky in Minecraft because you need to clip the cobweb with shears.

How to get a Cobweb in Survival Mode

You can add a cobweb to your inventory in Survival mode by gathering cobwebs using shears. So let's get started!

First, you need to find a cobweb to gather. You can find cobwebs in abandoned mineshafts or abandoned libraries. In this example, we have found a cobweb in an abandoned mineshaft.

2. Hold the Shears

Next, select the shears in your hotbar.

3. Use the Shears

The game control to use the shears to break the cobweb depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the cobweb.
  • For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the cobweb.
  • For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.
  • For PS3 and PS4, press and hold the R2 button on the PS controller.
  • For Wii U, press and hold the ZR button on the gamepad.
  • For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZR button on the controller.
  • For Windows 10 Edition, left click and hold on the cobweb.
  • For Education Edition, left click and hold on the cobweb.

The cobweb will break and a smaller cobweb will float on the ground.

TIP: Normally when you break a cobweb with a sword, you get string as the drop. However, when you gather the cobweb using shears, you will get the cobweb itself as the drop.

4. Pick up the Cobweb

Make sure you pick up the cobweb before it disappears.
