How to get String in Minecraft

To make a long story short, you cannot make string in Minecraft as it is not a craftable item in the game. You can however get strings from harvesting it from cobwebs and as loot drops from spider mobs. Along with this, string also has a tendency to spawn as loot in the following locations inside chests, 

  • Desert Temples
  • Dungeons
  • Pillager Outposts
  • Woodland Mansions
  • Bastion remnants

You can also get some string as a junk item when fishing and buy it sometimes from merchants for gold ingots. Once you do get some string, you can use it to make the following items below.

Fishing Rod
