How to Make a Lead in Minecraft

As one of the most beloved games, Minecraft lets players freely create, discover, and experiment in a limitless world. With multiple game modes you can craft tools, gather resources, and build whatever you imagine. In Survival mode, you focus on resource management and staying alive, while Creative mode lets you freely experiment with unlimited materials and blocks to bring your ideas to life. The Survival Mode is the main mode of the game, with the opportunity to explore multiple biomes and base your camp there.

The Main thing to survive is the ability to learn crafting. Everything in Minecraft needs to be made from the base material found in the environment. Such a thing also includes Leads. A lead is a long and durable rope that can help you tie your cattle, horses to one spot. It also serves as a strong tie to keep things tied up in the game. In this guide, we'll see how to make a lead in Minecraft.

What is a Lead in Minecraft?

A lead is a strong material that is used to control passive Mobs. These work like a leash on domestic pets so that you can tie up your cattle and horses to one place. These are also helpful in displacing your mobs from one place to another. Tying your cattle to a leash makes it less probable that they will wander off. This can also help collect cattle and increase your farming world that you can make in Minecraft. They can also help in tying up monsters and goblins. These mobs are more dangerous and can cause your cattle harm; they can also cause problems for you and possibly injure you if you try to provoke them. In this situation, the lead can help neutralize the threat of these kinds of Mobs.

Minecraft Lead Recipe

To make lead, you'll need certain things for the crafting grid. The main ingredients in the making of Lead include a slimeball and strings. Here's how you can find those things:

How to Get String in Minecraft

The best way to get the strings is by killing cave spiders. If you kill them, up to 2 strings could drop on the ground upon killing, which you can collect. The other method includes exploring abandoned mineshafts and collecting the string out of cobwebs. You can use your sword to break the cobwebs, which will drop 1 string upon destruction.

Any other methods include collecting strings from various chest loots and fishing, which could be a slow process since they only appear in junk loot. Another satisfying way could include a cat, which will happily gift you a string after you tame them and give them proper sleep and rest.

How to Get a Slimeball in Minecraft

Slimeballs generally can't be crafted. You can only get them in slime biomes or through traders. To harvest, you have to go into the places where they spawn naturally. These contain two areas called Slime Biome and Slime Chunks. Once you reach the place, kill the slimes and they'll drop up to 2 slimeballs. The other method includes trading with the Wandering trader, who demands 4 emeralds in exchange for one slime ball.
