            <title>[MC-8180] Silk touch Shears don&apos;t lose durability when mining grass, ice, etc.</title>
                <link>https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-8180</link>
                <project id="10400" key="MC">Minecraft: Java Edition</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;Silk touch Shears don&apos;t lose durability when mining grass, ice, etc. Making shears far superior to silk-touch pickaxes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Potentially solved by making silk-touch on shears only work for spider-web or alternatively having tools always consume durability when using silk-touch.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

An update is a new release, a new release gets a new version string.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unless you meant at the same time as the removal, in which case it simply being overlooked is likely.  Remember that snapshots are not professional releases, are not meant for serious gameplay, and have rapid changes.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="266647" author="anomie x" created="Fri, 20 Nov 2015 13:52:39 +0100"  >&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a freaking awful solution to this bug. For a start, what about all the people who already have silk touch shears? Not well thought out at all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just making shears lose durability when breaking all blocks was enough to fix this, except for cobweb that alone makes it better to put Silk Touch on a diamond tool for general use instead. People with Silk Touch shears left from 1.8 don&apos;t matter much since those shears will lose durability and break soon enough.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Removing the need to get a Silk Touch book to make Silk Touch shears to get cobwebs is just a bonus, IMO. Slightly disappointing that 15w47b has unobtainable cobwebs that will be fixed in 15w47c/15w48a/whatever instead of just fixing that in 15w47b too (and makes me wonder if they&apos;re doing something more complicated than just making them obtainable with ordinary shears), but oh well.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

&lt;p&gt;I wish I had never posted this issue.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

                            <comment id="266347" author="redstonehelper" created="Thu, 19 Nov 2015 16:52:42 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;Don&apos;t worry, you&apos;ll be able to get cobwebs again in the next snapshot: &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-93001&quot; title=&quot;Unable to obtain cobwebs&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;MC-93001&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;MC-93001&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

                            <comment id="266285" author="toboe_irbis" created="Thu, 19 Nov 2015 09:57:31 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;Shears must be able to have silk touch, because it is the only way to obtain &lt;del&gt;web block&lt;/del&gt; cobweb in survival!&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="266283" author="grum" created="Thu, 19 Nov 2015 09:41:02 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;It now always hurts like it should and you can no longer enchant shears with silktouch.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="263710" author="cubfan135" created="Tue, 10 Nov 2015 22:25:03 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;Confirmed for Minecraft 1.9 Snapshot 15w45a. Also, the grass fix was reverted back. Now the shears only take durability when mining cobwebs and not when mining any of the other Silk Touchable blocks. This makes Silk Touch shears the most overpowered item in the game.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

                            <comment id="226580" author="thedoctorsoda" created="Wed, 6 May 2015 04:29:49 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;@William Kopec, you&apos;re saying that because a bug has existed for a while, it should no longer be considered a bug?&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="226559" author="billyk_" created="Tue, 5 May 2015 23:59:49 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;Request for this to get removed off the bug tracker.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Shears have always worked like this, so it doesn&apos;t make sense to have this change potentially go through when it&apos;s been like this since silk touch was available to be put on shears.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="226546" author="cubfan135" created="Tue, 5 May 2015 23:23:12 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;Confirmed for 1.8.4. Also this bug happens as well with glass, bookshelves, podzol, mycelium and many other silk touchable blocks.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="207373" author="cubfan135" created="Sat, 1 Nov 2014 11:48:14 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;Confirmed in 1.8.1 Pre-release 3.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="203705" author="kjp12" created="Thu, 16 Oct 2014 06:11:58 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;Yea. Shears usually don&apos;t take damage against ice, due to shears unable to mine it faster. Also, It would make alot of blocklag if Mojang made the shears check for Silk. Also, still happens in 1.8.1-Pre1. Here is a example on what is with Silk:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1. Enchant a random block/item, and Shears with Silk. (Require Creative)&lt;br/&gt;
2. Break glass with enchanted item/block, and shears&lt;br/&gt;
3. The block drops itself, and no damage is done to shears.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is due that enchantments can be used on All items but enchanted book. Even sticks can have knockback 100, and the chicken will be flung like 100 blocks. It is a bug that will take forever to fix.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

                            <comment id="39637" author="flapjacksmike" created="Fri, 25 Jan 2013 04:34:16 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;I wouldn&apos;t say it (a silk-touch shear) is far superior to a silk-touch pickaxe, compared to a silk-touch iron or diamond one which can return stone and any ores, where a shear cannot. Nevertheless, it is a bug, like the reporter has said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Video Proof: &lt;a href=&quot;http://youtu.be/Tm09yoCcxKo&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;http://youtu.be/Tm09yoCcxKo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I didn&apos;t realize til after the video that I didn&apos;t check ice. Both the silk-touch shears and regular shears do not take damage from breaking ice.&lt;/p&gt;
