What is a leash for in Minecraft
A Leash is a tool present in the world of Minecraft that has the purpose of keeping other creatures tied to your avatar or to objects. Often this tool is useful if you want to bring wild or untamed animals to your shelter, perhaps inside an enclosure, to prevent them from moving away or being attacked by hostile creatures.
There are many animals that you may put a leash and take them everywhere I go your avatar: in detail, you can apply it on parrots, ocelots, mules, mushroom, blade, golem, horses, foxes, donkeys, dolphins, cows, chickens, cats, bees, pigs, polar bears, rabbits, sheep and wolves.
That said, if you want to know how to make a leash and how to best use it during your play sessions on Minecraft, I recommend that you read the chapters that follow.

The Leash is an item that can generally be crafted in a workbench but, if you’re lucky, you may also have the option of obtaining it in other ways. How? Now I’ll explain everything in detail.
Venturing into the world of Minecraft, you have the chance to come across the Mansions, places that you find in some specific biomes, such as the Dark Forests, inhabited by hostile creatures. Have you never had the opportunity to visit such a place? Do not worry! My advice is to read carefully what I indicated in my guide on how to find the Mansion on Minecraft.
Inside the Mansions, you can have the opportunity to find chests, inside which you can have a fair chance of finding leashes ready to be used on the other creatures that populate the world of Minecraft.
Alternatively, you can easily get leashes from Wandering Merchants: these are NPCs, i.e. non-player characters, who appear from time to time near your avatar, accompanied by a llama.
You can trade with these merchants to get items that are useful for your adventures. To get leashes from wandering merchants, all you have to do is to get the merchant away from his blade (which he keeps tied to him), so that a leash is generated on the ground to collect. Alternatively, you can defeat the merchant or the llama to get the leash.
If you want, however, to make things easier, you can also think about making a leash with some materials available in the world of Minecraft. It may not be easy to obtain them, but I am sure that with my indications you will not have any problems in this regard.
First of all, you need to know that a leash can be made using the String and the Slime Ball. While the String can be found inside the chests you find in your adventures in the world of Minecraft or by destroying the cobwebs, the Slime Ball can be obtained by defeating the Slime, gelatinous creatures that live in the swamps.
When you have everything you need that I have indicated, all you have to do is place, in a workbench, 4 units of String and 1 unit of Slime Ball, in order to obtain, in the slot next to it, 2 units of Leash.
How to use a leash on Minecraft
After you have obtained a leash, thanks to the advice I gave you in the previous chapters, what you need to do is equip it, to start using it. The first thing to do, therefore, is to open the inventory and drag the leash into one of the unoccupied quick slots.
At this point, you can easily use a leash: approach the creature you want to apply it to (make sure it’s one of the ones I listed in the introductory chapter ) and interact on it with this equipped item.
What you will see is a lasso that will keep your avatar and the creature connected: the latter will go in the same direction your avatar will go, following you. By doing so, you can take it to the place you want, such as your shelter or the enclosure you have set up for the occasion.
If you no longer want to “walk” the creature you put on a leash, you have two options: interact with it to remove the link, so as to leave it free, or tie the lasso to a fence.
Regarding the latter solution, all you have to do is interact with the leash on a fence, so that a knot is created, demonstrating that the connection has taken place. To free the creature, all you have to do is interact on the node itself. Easy, right?
