How to Craft a Lead in Minecraft 1.21.6 (No Mods or Plugins)

With the Minecraft 1.21.6 “Chase the Skies” update, players can now craft Leads (also known as ropes) in Vanilla Minecraft without needing any mods or datapacks!

This is huge for players who want to control mobs or leash their new Happy Ghasts in the air.

🧵 Lead Crafting Recipe in 1.21.6

	🧵 String	🧵 String
	🧵 String	🧵 String
🧵 String

You’ll get: 2 Leads

✅ No Slimeballs required anymore — just 5 Strings!

🐾 What Can You Do With a Lead?

Leads are super useful now that Happy Ghasts and other new mobs are part of the game:

• Leash Happy Ghasts to stop them from flying away
• Tether Boats, Minecarts, and even large mobs
• Use with Fences to anchor your mobs safely
• Combine with Harnesses for full control mid-air

🛫 Best Use: Flying with Happy Ghasts

Leads + Harness = full control of your Happy Ghast rides in the sky. This is especially useful for multiplayer adventures and sky builds.
