This is a total game-changer, especially if you’re planning to ride and control the new Happy Ghasts!

🐾 What Can You Do With Leads in Minecraft?

Now that everyone can craft leads, here’s why they matter more than ever:

• 🎈 Leash Happy Ghasts (and stop them from flying away)
• 🚢 Tether boats and minecarts for mid-air transportation
• 🧱 Use them in sky builds as scaffolding aids
• 🐄 Tie animals and mobs to fences for control

✈️ Leads + Happy Ghasts = Sky Adventures

If you haven’t tried riding a Happy Ghast, now’s the time. These new mobs can carry up to 4 players, and leads help you keep them close while you’re building or flying in the sky.

Just craft a Harness, leash it, and start flying across your Minecraft world.

✅ Pro Tip: Happy Ghasts heal faster when flying at cloud level or in rain!
