Why we need it: When climbing up ladders and vines, or walking on precipices you have a chance of falling off, and since, of course fall damage is a reliable killer in the early-mid game, a new building block that can take the edge off is in order.
How to obtain: Silk is obtained by killing Silk Spinner Spiders, which when crafted in a two by two pattern, gives you one silk block.
Silk: Can be placed down just like string though is slightly brighter, and therefore more obtrusive. It can be used in a tripwire, just like string, though cannot be broken in any way without setting off the trap.
Silk Block: When standing on the silk block, it will activate the effect of crouching in the way that the edge is blocked. You can even sprint on it without falling off. If you are dealt damage, you will not jump, and instead will stay firm. When it is placed vertically, it acts as a ladder, thought you will not be able to fall off the sides, if you move far enough in a direction perpendicular to the silk, you will either move to the other face if unblocked, but if blocked, you will remain adhered to the singlular exposed face and continue climbing vertically. It looks similar to white wool, but with a smoother texture. It can only be obtained when broken by iron or diamond swords.
