 Description   

So basically, shears only take durability damage when they destroy or break tall grass or leaves, the damage stays the same for all the other blocks.

Confirmed for 14w18a

Comment by Itouch2 [ 07/Mar/14 ]

Still a concern in 1.7.5 and 14w08a / 10b

Comment by branza [ 17/Jan/14 ]

Still happens in 1.7.4.

Comment by Tails [ 25/Dec/12 ]

Updated title since shears should take damage only on blocks they mine faster.

Comment by Abdulla [ 24/Dec/12 ]

Yeah, also with the new addition of Efficiency on shears, it makes this a lot worse...

Comment by Kumasasa [ 24/Dec/12 ]

Shears take damage when shearing sheep, mining cobwebs, cutting leaves, grass or vines, but not when mining wool blocks. Other blocks cannot be mined faster with shares compared to bare hands.

Comment by Moe [ 24/Dec/12 ]

Yes, I can confirm this. With shears you can destroy wool way faster, but they still dont take damage.
