About the Tripwire Hook

The Tripwire Hook is a small redstone component that you place on the side of a solid block. When two hooks are connected by string, the string becomes a tripwire line. Any entity that crosses that line, such as a player, mob, or dropped item, causes both hooks to emit a redstone signal. This makes tripwire hooks a common choice for hidden entrances, mob detectors, and traps.

Key facts:

Emits redstone from the hook itself when the tripwire is triggered.
A string line can connect two hooks up to 40 blocks apart.
The hooks can be placed on any solid side surface.

How to get the Tripwire Hook

You can craft Tripwire Hooks with one iron ingot, one stick, and one wooden plank. The recipe gives two hooks at a time, so a little iron goes a long way. They also generate naturally in jungle temples as part of the arrow trap, already connected to dispensers and tripwire string.
