TripWireDisarmer
TripWireDisarmer lets players turn tripwire hooks and strings into disarmed or powered tripwires using shears, so trip wires can behave closer to vanilla.
What it does
Using shears on a tripwire hook or tripwire string changes its state, and the altered tripwire can be made to simulate vanilla behavior. The mod also covers tripwire string duplicators, which produce the altered string in a different way. Its featured states are disarmed and powered tripwires, and the list of installation methods on the project page covers several setups.
TripWireDisarmer is built for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1 only. The mod must be installed on the server, while a client installation is optional. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. The latest file, 1.0 for 1.21.1, was published on 2025-11-08, the same day as the first release.
