QuestionHow do I use a tripwire hook? Just for a chest?Community AnswerPlace a tripwire hook on two solid blocks such as cobblestone or dirt, and use string that you get from spiders as the tripwire. Place redstone dust connected to the block that the tripwire is attached to. As long as an entity such as a mob or player is standing on the tripwire, whether walking across or just standing there, it will be sending a redstone signal. This is good for home defense if you can conceal the tripwire hooks.
