You could have a field of horses, but no way to get them to move where you want them. You'll need a lead, also called a leash, to do this. You can also use a lead to tie a mob to a fence or post so they can't move! This How.com.vn teaches you how to make a lead in Minecraft. You'll need a crafting table, 4 Strings, and 1 Slimeball.

  1. How.com.vn English: Step 1 Obtain 4 strings....
    Obtain 4 strings. String is primarily obtained by killing spiders and cave spiders. Spiders will spawn at night or in caves that have a light level of 7 or less[1], and cave spiders spawn from cave spider spawners found in mineshafts.
    • String can also be obtained by looting chests in dungeons, desert temples, pillager outposts, woodland mansions, and bastions, killing striders and cats, breaking cobwebs, fishing, bartering with piglins, or from cats as a gift[2].
  2. How.com.vn English: Step 2 Obtain 1 slimeball.
    Slimeballs are primarily obtained by killing slimes. Slimes can spawn in swamps from Y-levels 50-70 at night. They'll spawn most often during full moons, and never during new moons[3].
    • Slimes may also spawn in certain chunks below Y-level 40. These slime chunks depend on the world seed in Java Edition, but the coordinates for slime chunks stay the same for every world in Bedrock Edition[4].

    How do you put your lead on a mob?

    Top Answerer
    To put a lead on a mob, hold the lead in your hand, look at the mob, and press the button or other control you use to place blocks and use other objects. This should work as long as it is a mob you can put a lead on. It will not work if it is a hostile mob.
  • Question
    What are leads used for?

    Leads can be attached to some mobs, making them useful for transporting mobs that cannot be tamed or led with food items. Additionally, if you have a lead attached to a mob, you can right click a fence to attach the lead to the fence. This keeps the mob restricted to the general area around the fence, preventing them from leaving.
