Striders can be sheared for string

Like sheep, striders can be sheared and drop string without killing them.

Bare striders could seek out warped nylium and eat it to regain their string. This would make them seek out land, also presenting a new opportunity to capture one before you get a saddle.

    I think that a string farm could be a great feature for people in need of a large stock of string. Also- Shears in dispensers should be able to work if this feature is implemented.

    This would provide for a reusable wool source in the nether.

    Yeah. I always felt bad killing striders when I need string. Giving them a hair cut seems much more humane an option :)
