Exciting New Features in Minecraft: Transporting Mobs with Leashes!
Hey there, Minecraft fans! If you’ve ever found it hard to move all your animals around in the game, you’re going to love the latest update: Minecraft Snapshot 25W16A! This update introduces some really cool changes that make it way easier to transport your mobs—those cute little animals you find while exploring.
What’s New with Leashes?
In this update, leashes in Minecraft are getting a major upgrade. Now, they’re thicker and can link together multiple mobs at once! Imagine being able to create a caravan of cows, sheep, or even camels, just like the Wandering Trader you see in the game. This means less time fretting over how to get your animals back to your base and more time having fun!
How to Create Your Animal Caravan
So, how do you do it? It’s pretty simple! Just sneak and hold a lead (that’s the leash) in your hand. When you get close to a mob, interact with it to leash it up. If you want to add another animal, just hold sneak again and interact with one of the already-leashed mobs. You can keep repeating this to form a long line of animals! Imagine having a whole herd following you around—how fun would that be?
Transporting Bigger Mobs with Ghasts
Now here’s the coolest news: with this update, Ghasts (those floating, fiery creatures) can now help you transport larger mobs! Before, you couldn’t get horses or camels on a boat, but now you can use a Ghast and its leash to carry them. You just need to interact with a Ghast using the harness to ride it, then leash another mob to it. It’s like having your personal air lift for all your Minecraft buddies!
How It Works
- Find a Happy Ghast: These are the ones you can use to transport things.
- Harness It: Ride the Ghast by using a harness.
- Leash Other Mobs: Attach another mob (like a horse) to the Ghast with the leash.
- Fly Off: Now you can soar through the skies while carrying your mob! It’s a lot of fun and gives new meaning to “flying your animals home.”
Improved Leash Mechanics
Don’t worry if you’re a bit clumsy with your leashes; the game has improved leash mechanics to make it more realistic. When you drag a mob, it will turn to face you, which feels more natural. If you’ve ever tried to fly quickly while holding a leashed animal and had them drag surprisingly, well, that’s been fixed too. Plus, the leash can now stretch further before breaking!
Extra Features
If you ever want to let your mob go, you can simply use shears to cut the leash. And don’t forget, there are some added protections so that other players won’t be able to steal your leashed mobs.
