Shears

Shears are tools required to obtain some organic blocks or otherwise mine them faster as well as to shear certain entities and blocks.
==Obtaining==
===Crafting===
Despite using iron in its crafting recipe, shears cannot be smelted into iron nuggets.
===Trading===
Novice-level Shepherd villagers have a 40% chance to sell shears for 2 emeralds in Java Edition. This trade is always offered in Bedrock Edition.
===Chest loot===
==Usage==
===Shearing===
Shears lose 1 durability when used to shear something.
Shears can be on a sheep to remove its coat and drop 1–3 wool of the corresponding color. The same sheep can be sheared again after it eats from a grass block to regenerate its coat.
Shearing a mooshroom drops 5 mushrooms of the corresponding color and irreversibly turns it into a normal cow.
Shearing a snow golem irreversibly removes its pumpkin, dropping it and revealing its face.
Shearing either a beehive or bee nest that is full of honey makes it drop 3 honeycombs and resets it to honey level 0. The same beehive or bee nest can be sheared again if it is able to reach full honey again. If sheared by hand without a campfire below the hive or nest all bees within will exit and all nearby bees will attack the offending player. 
Dispensers can use shears in any of the above listed ways, interacting with any valid block or entity in front of the dispenser's face. This decreases the shears' durability. A dispenser shearing a beehive or bee nest will not anger bees or cause them to leave even if there is not a campfire below it.
Shearing a pumpkin turns it into a carved pumpkin, dropping 4 pumpkin seeds.
, shearing the tip of cave vines, kelp, weeping vines, or twisting vines sets its age value to 25 and stops further growth.
===Breaking blocks===
Shears use 1 durability when is used to break any block, even if it breaks instantly by hand.
Shears can be used to harvest cobwebs, leaves, grass, tall grass, seagrass, tall seagrass, ferns, large ferns, dead bushes, nether sprouts, vines, glow lichen or hanging roots and obtain them in item form. They can also be used to break tripwire connected to a tripwire hook without activating it.
When shears are used to break weeping vines or twisting vines they are guaranteed to drop in item form instead of the usual 33% chance. This only applies to vines directly broken by shears and not vines that are broken due to the destruction of their supporting vines.
The following table shows information about blocks that can be broken with shears. Colors indicate what gets dropped when the block is broken:
*White: The original block.
*Blue: The block's normal drop (i.e. string, sticks, seeds, saplings, apples).
*Red: Nothing.
