How To Get String In Minecraft

1. Find A Spider

To make string, we must first find a spider to attack and kill. If you are having troubles finding a spider, you can change the time to night or you can use a spawn egg.

2. Attack The Spider

Once you find a spider you need to attack it. You'll notice the spider turns red when it's hit.

Continue attacking the spider until it dies.  Once it's dead, the spider will drop 0 to 2 pieces of string. If your spider didn't drop any, you'll have to find another spider and repeat the process.

3. Pick Up The String

When you see string appear after killing a spider, be sure to pick it up before it disappears. That's it, you now have string! Minecraft string comes in handy when you want to make bows and crossbows, fishing rods, leads, looms, and tripwires.
