This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft string with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
- How to gather String in Survival Mode. You can add string to your inventory in Survival mode by killing a spider. If you are having trouble finding a spider, you can change the time to night so that a spider spawns. You can also summon a spider using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg. Once you find a spider, you need to attack it.
- Sell the weapons to a vendor to get a lot of money, then buy Oleander from a vendor if it is available. After buying as much Oleander as possible, fast travel back to Ope's Cave, and turn it in to the tribesman that give you the continuous 'Dreamtime' event. Each time you turn in five Oleander Blossoms, you will get $1 and 1,000 experience points.
In Minecraft, string is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.
Let's explore how to add string to your inventory.
