The highly anticipated Minecraft Chase the Skies drop is set to introduce exciting new ghast variants, one of which will allow players to soar through the skies. Alongside this update, Mojang has unveiled a brand-new item: the harness, enabling players to ride on these joyful ghasts. Wondering how to obtain or craft this harness? Look no further! In this ultimate Minecraft Harness guide, we have all the answers you need.
Items Required to Make a Harness
Crafting the harness in Minecraft is straightforward and requires easily available materials early in your adventure:
- 3x Leather
- 2x Glass
- 1x Wool
To craft the harness, you’ll also need a crafting table. You can obtain leather by defeating cows or sheep, while glass is produced by smelting sand in a Furnace. For wool, gather it by either defeating sheep or using Shears on them.
How to Make a Harness in Minecraft
Once you’ve gathered all the necessary items, it’s time to put your crafting table to work. Follow these steps:
- Place all 3 leather in the top row of the crafting grid.
- Put 1 wool of your chosen color in the center square of the middle row.
- Finally, position the two glass blocks on the left and right sides of the wool.
Your harness will appear in the result square. Just drag it into your inventory, and you’re all set to ride!
