About

The Tripwire Hook is a redstone device placed on blocks to detect when a player walks through tripwire string connected between two hooks. When triggered, it sends a redstone signal to adjacent components, making it useful for alarm systems, automatic doors, and traps.

Place hooks on opposite sides of a corridor or room, then connect them with tripwire string. The hooks emit a redstone signal for as long as the tripwire remains triggered. Tripwire hooks are easy to destroy and leave no drops, so they work well in survival builds where durability is not a concern.

Give yourself a stack with /give @p minecraft:tripwire_hook 1, or adjust the number to spawn more. The item stacks to 64.
