Cobweb is a block in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through natural world generation. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Cobweb. This item was added to the game in the early Alpha development period.
In this database, Cobweb sits alongside 339 other Utility Blocks entries, each with its own page. Because it stacks to 64, a single chest of Cobweb stores up to 1,728 of them and a double chest holds 3,456, which matters when gathering enough for large builds.
