- In Minecraft, a harness can be crafted on a crafting table using 3 leather pieces, 2 glass, and 1 wool.
- Lure the happy ghasts towards you by holding a snowball in your hand and place the harness on them with the right mouse click.
- Players can now ride the happy ghasts and even use a lead to transport other mobs.
The upcoming Minecraft Chase the Skies drop brings a host of new ghast variants, one of which can take you to the skies. However, it was also almost certain we would get a new material to ride them. As such, Mojang presented us with the harness, a brand new item that will let you ride the happy ghasts. But do you find this harness or craft it? Let’s answer all your questions in our Minecraft Harness guide right here.
Items Required to Make a Harness
The harness in Minecraft requires very few items that can be easily found at the early stages in the game. These are:
- 3x Leather
- 2x Glass
- 1x Wool
Apart from these, you will need to make a crafting table to craft the harness itself. Leather can be easily found by killing cows or sheep. You will get glass by heating sand blocks inside a Furnace, and wool can be obtained by killing sheep or using Shears on them.
How to Make a Harness in Minecraft
Having collected all the items as stated above, it’s time to bring out your crafting table. Interact with it and follow the steps below:
- Place all 3 leather on all squares of the topmost row.
- Place 1 wool of any color at the center of the middle row.
- Now, place the two glass blocks on the left and right sides of the wool.
The harness of the same color as the wool will be ready on the square to the right. You can collect it by dragging and dropping it into your inventory.
How to Ride a Happy Ghast in Minecraft
So, you collected all the required items and finally crafted the harness in Minecraft 1.21.6. Now, it’s time to put it to good use. You need to begin by getting a happy ghast first. But the process itself involves getting a dried ghast block to convert it. Refer to our linked guides here for it all.
Once you have this cute flying mob, follow the steps below to ride a happy ghast in Minecraft:
- Equip the harness in your right hand and hold a snowball in your left to lure the happy ghast.
- As it comes within range, click the right mouse button, aiming towards it to equip the harness.
- The happy ghast will wear the harness with the goggles atop its head.
- Now simply stand near it and click the RMB to ride it into the sky!
The happy ghast can carry up to four players at a time, and if you make a lead and tie one end to the happy creature and the other end to a boat, it can carry two other regular mobs on the boat as well. A similar arrangement can be done, replacing the boat with any heavy mob like Pandas or Sniffers to carry them over large distances.
And that wraps up our Minecraft harness guide for the upcoming Chase the skies drop. Have you tried riding the happy ghast yet? Let us know in the comments below.
