The tripwire hook is a block that is used to detect entities when a part of the tripwire is passed through, it can be placed on the side of solid blocks and is armed with a string. If a player or another entity falls or steps on the tripwire when it is activated, it will power the tripwire hooks and be able to send a continuous redstone signal as long as an entity or player is on the tripwire.

What is the use of a tripwire?
Tripwire is a redstone component that can be used to detect entities or makes traps and it is also used in a few crafting recipes. When an entity activates the tripwire it will power any adjacent redstone components with a power level of 15. Breaking the tripwire hook, or breaking the block it is attached to, does not generate a pulse. Tripwires are used to craft crossbows and trapped chests.
