Tripwire circuits can be activated, disabled or broken in various manners. The easiest way to break one without triggering it is to remove the hooks themselves as opposed to the wire. However, doing that won't update the circuit correctly.

Observed Results

• The wire will remain attached to the opposite hook, as observed in its darker texture and smaller hitbox. Updating it won't return it to its default state.
• The other hook will also remain in its attached state. If it's placed on the northern or eastern sides of a block, walking through or breaking any of the remaining parts of the wire will make it return to its default state. Otherwise, it will remain in its attached state even if everything else is removed.

Expected Results:

• The wire returns to its default state, with its brighter texture and larger hitbox.
• The opposite hook gets detached from the wire.
