In my opinion, I think that string (Not the item, the block) is very underused, here are my ideas for it to be improved. (I hope this isn't counted as a wishlist)
1. New behaviors
You can walk on string like walking on rope in ropes+. You can also cut string from a distance from using a bow and arrow (Or an enchanted bow and arrow, which ever you guys like). String can now cause a slight slowness when going through them, because it seems unrealistic to magically walk though them with no problem.
2. Fuse
When a line of string is set on fire, the fire will spread very quickly (About 4x as fast as it burns leaves maybe?), this can be used for an alternate of setting TNT off or as a temporary trap.
3. Hanging blocks
String can be placed vertically by shift-placing. It can be used to keep gravity affecting blocks in the air, (Sand, gravel, dragon egg, and anvils). It could be used for traps or for some parkour courses.
