The Cobbler is an NPC vendor who sells boot accessories of varying effects. As you progress in defeating bosses, more and more boots will become available for purchase. The Cobbler will spawn once the following conditions have been met:
- There is an empty house.
- A player in the world has any type of shoe accessory in their inventory[1], with addition of the Aglet and Anklet of the Wind.
When threatened by enemies, he will defend himself by throwing a pair of lasting pliers.
Spawning criteria
Below is a list of qualifying shoe accessories. At least one must be in the player's inventory or equipment slots for the Cobbler to move in.
Shine Shoes
The Cobbler can also shine your shoes for free when you select the "Shine Shoes" in the dialogue window. The Shined Shoes buff increases your movement speed by 10%, run acceleration by 8% and jump height by 1 block. This effect stacks with other movement speed increasing effects. The buff also causes light to emit from the character in very small but bright twinkles originating from the feet. Although the light emitted is bright, it is not sufficient to explore dark caves or the surface at night.
The buff lasts for 3 minutes, but can be canceled at any time by right-clicking the icon.
