A string is a primary item dropped from spiders, cave spiders, striders, and cats. Spiders, cave spiders, and cats drop 0-2 strings on death, while the striders can drop up to 5 strings.

String is an extremely useful item in Minecraft. It is used to craft some of the most necessary items in the game, such as bows, fishing rods, leads, and scaffolding.

String is the second ingredient that is needed for players to craft scaffolding in Minecraft. Players will only need one string to craft scaffolding in Minecraft.

Players can bring tame animals and some mobs along with them in Minecraft with the help of a lead, but the recipe to make a lead is unintuitive.
