I think that it would be cool to have some sort of string on a spool for exploring big caves which i tend to get lost. like you could have it as a rare drop on a cave spider or make it with string and a stick but with the stick and string it would be limited on how far for example you could have the string go for 25 blocks and have to add more string. I don't wanna waste items in the game like redstone or torches to get out, this would be way easier to get and use. Just right click with the Spool of String and walk on, when you wanna go out follow the string.
This can already be achieved using "breadcrumbs" in the form of torches, signs, colored wool, etc. The only problem with using a breadcrumb system is it's not easy to determine a direction (I know I've gone through this tunnel because of the torches, but which direction did I travel?) unless your using signs which you can add words and direction depending on placement. Your string idea dosn't solve this problem either unless you have a continuous strand, which would require meters and meters of string.
I'd rather make signs stack able to 16 or more and just fill my tunnels with signs. or perhaps flag markers, crafted with wool and 2 sticks yield 16 flags of that color of wool. Flags would be directional like signs depending on where your facing when you place them. They can also be placed on walls similar to a torch.
i like it
but what if, like arrows, u need to have it in your inventory, like u get a stack of string, and as u walk, it places. also i think string is placeable in 1.3 so just wait a bit

yes but that would be a waste of many other items in the game and i dont wanna do that.

I think this would be a good idea cause i'm always finding ways to get lost in caves. I like the idea how so many blocks it uses a string and I think it would be a good addition to Minecraft.
