Shearing

Shears are the most efficient way to get wool from sheep, producing 1–3 wool blocks (as opposed to killing a sheep which produces only 1 wool block).

Speed and durability

The following table shows various things about shears. Colors indicate what will be dropped when the block is broken:

• White: The original block.
• Blue: The Block`s normal drop (i.e. string, sticks, seeds, sapling, apple).
• Red: Nothing.

1. ↑ Breaking cobwebs with a sword is as fast as breaking with shears, and yields string. This costs double durability.
2. ↑ Using shears won`t trigger a redstone pulse.
