What was the entire point of making shears? I know Notch wants the game to seem more realistic, but seriously? Shears seem a bit pointless due to the fact that 95% of Minecrafters don't give it half a thought when it comes to hurting a sheep when we need wool. We punch the sheep, hurt it a bit, and get our wool. Why do we need another formula and another step just to obtain basic supplies? Also, the fact that you need two iron ingots is just dumb. On my first day in minecraft, I had no clue how to even find iron efficiently. Now you're saying newer players have to brave the night until they can manage to find enough iron to make them? Honestly, the shears are just a waste of a recipe and should be removed.
Cutting leaf blocks quicker + placaeble leaf blocks, make the shears very usefull.
And does getting one more tool really make the game that much more difficult???
Install a mod that removes the shears or /give yourself everything if your too lazy.
That's what I thought first but now I realise that the reason for them is make it harder to make a bed on your first night therefore making the game slightly more challenging again!
Naw, just kill the sheep. You will still get 1 wool.

from what i understood in 1.8 sheep are supposed to regrow wool and be more permanent until killed.
so you could put a few sheep in a pasture and simply harvest the wool without having to kill the sheep and cross your fingers that you'll eventually repawn some.
shear recipe is like flint/steel only it's 2 ingots

Thanx!
I would think they'd require sticks aswell, o well
My own personal conspiracy theory concerning shears. I think it's an effort on Notch's part to make automated resource gathering less efficient. Building a machine to spawn sheep, kill them, and dump wool in a collection pool is probably slower than making shears and doing it as intended.
I could be completely wrong. But if I'm right, we might see more changes that negatively impact automated gathering in the future.
an axe destorys leaves at a firesome pace already only a fraction slower, the probelm with getting rid of trees is being able to reach them in the first place, its still gonna be massively time consuming + another piece of crap in the inventory! clogging up space
personally, i like the fact that i can now create proper hedges without having to dig a few blocks down, plant a tree and hope i don't get suffocated after using bonemeal.
i'm also a big fan of farming so the ability to "farm" sheep really makes me excited.
this is true, but im still not convinced this makes the game more "challenging" my definition is it makes the game more "annoying" sleeping only gets rid of some monsters on the surface, also am i right in thinking that sheep spawn in 3's and punching one wil still get you 1 block of wool so its still possible to get a bed on your first night anyway? just more boring than before
For anyone wondering, the Shear recipe is as followed:
The point is that shears require 2 iron, making it annoyingly difficult to get your first bed. we like that shears can get leaves and such, but seriously, you shouldnt make a beginner item require iron.
OH YEA. AND DONT TRY TO SAY KILL THE SHEEP TO GET IT, BECAUSE IN THE FUTURE THAT WILL MAKE THEM DISAPEAR FOREVER.
there is 1 thing that is "useful" about the shears, you can now pick up leaf blocks... why that feature couldnt just be added to the axe tool is beyond me? my inventory is always cluttered with junk already do i really have to carry another tool around with me?
Sounds like Minecraft might not be the game for you, I suggest playing something else, Tracks Mania Nations maybe, but avoid World of Warcraft at all costs, the cluttered inventory might cause you a heartattack....

do you still get one wool, i heard rumors that you don't?
If you still get wool it means getting a bed is at least a bit more difficult.
How much wool do you get with the shears now? still 1-3?
And what is the shears recipe precisely?
