Easy Webs - Craftable Cobwebs from String

PLUGIN

Craft cobwebs from 5 string and skip the slow shearing grind. A simple utility plugin for servers of all sizes.

Collecting cobwebs in vanilla Minecraft often means carrying shears enchanted with Silk Touch, hunting down mineshafts, or searching stronghold libraries—none of which is quick. Easy Webs changes that by giving you a direct crafting recipe, converting an abundant resource into a normally scarce block.

This plugin is built for anyone who regularly uses cobwebs in redstone contraptions, mob traps, PvP arenas, or detailed builds. Instead of wasting time and tool durability, you can turn 5 pieces of string—dropped by spiders or generated through string farms—into 1 cobweb right at your crafting table. The cost is fair enough to keep survival gameplay balanced while removing the repetitive shearing chore.

  • Adds a simple crafting recipe: 5 string = 1 cobweb.
  • Removes the need for Silk Touch shears or prolonged cave exploration.
  • Integrates with any standard crafting grid, no special tables required.
  • Lightweight and performs without extra background tasks or lag.
  • Works out of the box; no configuration files to edit.

Easy Webs requires a Minecraft server running Spigot, Paper, or a compatible fork (version 1.16 or newer recommended). There are no additional dependencies. Just place the plugin file in your server's plugins folder, restart, and the recipe becomes available to all players immediately.
