Minecraft Shears PNG

The Shears exactly as it looks in the Minecraft 26.3 inventory, as a transparent PNG. It is the render of the item itself, not a loose texture: what you see in your hand and in chests. In the creative inventory it sits in the “Tools” tab.

Sizes and quality

The Shears render is 128 × 128 pixels, the size the game draws the item at in the inventory. It scales up by whole numbers to 1024 px with no interpolation, so the edges stay sharp.

Minecraft shears: everything you can cut with them

Shears are a tool crafted from 2 iron ingots, used to collect blocks that would otherwise be lost. With them you pick up cobwebs, leaves, short grass, ferns, seagrass, dead bushes, vines, glow lichen and hanging roots as items. Cutting tall grass or large ferns drops two of the small plant.

They also work on mobs and blocks. They shear sheep for wool, take the pumpkin off a snow golem, turn a mooshroom into a cow and remove a happy ghast's harness. On a pumpkin they carve it and drop seeds, and a correctly placed pumpkin can even create a golem. Cutting the tip of vines or kelp stops them from growing.

On a beehive full of honey they collect 3 honeycomb, but without a campfire underneath, the bees come out and attack you. Every use costs one durability, as does breaking any block with them except fire.

A dispenser with shears does almost all of this automatically and, when it fails, for example on a sheep already sheared, it uses no durability. It also does not anger bees when shearing a hive, even without a campfire, which makes it perfect for wool and honey farms.
