Boots of Ostara

The Boots of Ostara are a drop from Lepus. They provide 3 defense and create grass on dirt when worn, as well as enabling the wearer to perform "bunny hops" where each successive jump in a series will increase in height until a maximum height of 16 blocks is reached. The Boots also give a green particle effect when jumping. If worn with silver helmet and chainmail, they give a 3 defense set bonus.

Tips

 * It's a good replacement to the Shiny Red Balloon as it's easy to get.
 * It's very useful when going underground early in the game.
 * Its sell price is pretty high if you decide to farm Lepus.

Trivia

 * Ostara, or Ēostre, is the pre-Christian name for Easter and the Germanic pagan goddess of spring. Unlike Easter it carries no Christian religious meaning, instead being used as a name for the Spring Equinox and, allegorically, the rebirth of nature.
 * Its effect is a reference to the famous bunny-hopping feature of the Quake series.
