Overview
Tripwire Hook is a redstone component in the Redstone category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it and generated structures. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Tripwire Hook.
As a redstone component, Tripwire Hook is wired into contraptions and circuits; its behaviour is what gives builders the logic and timing to automate farms, doors, and machines. Tripwire Hook additionally serves as a crafting ingredient for Crossbow. Nothing slows you down on Tripwire Hook; it is a zero-hardness block. Generated chests only ever hold Tripwire Hook in one place: pillager outpost chests (about 31%, 1 to 3 at a time).
