**Cobwebs** are crafting materials used to craft Silk and other items. Cobwebs can also be placed. They will catch players who fall into them and reset fall damage. They break after a short time when a player is stuck in them, but can also be harvested instantly with any weapon or swung tool, just like plants.

Cobwebs are commonly found in underground areas, in clusters of 5 or more, alongside the edges of walls or ceilings, and are guaranteed to drop a cobweb item when broken. They are also found in large quantities in Spider Caves, where they regrow over time; however, cobweb found there is only ~~25\*~~1/4 (25%) chance to drop when broken.

## Notes

* Placed cobwebs can support falling blocks like sand and silt; removing the cobwebs will allow them to fall, causing damage to whatever they hit.
* Placed cobwebs do not impede the movement of monsters, NPCs or critters.
* Although Cobwebs have no sell value, they can be crafted into Silk, which has a sell value of 2. At 7 Cobweb per Silk, this results in a sell value of 28 for a Cobweb.

## Tips

* Because they slow player movement, Cobwebs can be used in the construction of pits to prevent fall damage.
* It is more resourceful to make Silk Rope instead of Web Rope as using Silk will consume less Cobweb and yield more rope.
* An easy way to find Cobweb is to use a Dangersense Potion as it highlights the Cobweb on the screen.
