Sometimes you stumble upon a cow in Minecraft and want to bring it to your base. You might want to build a trade hall in each of the villager biomes or create a huge zoo with every passive mob, every hostile mob, or maybe every single mob in the game. To make this task possible, you can use a bull barrow or mob transport boat. But in some cases, it is necessary to just push a mob in a specific place, which causes a wool farm. The easiest way to move mobs is to create and use an old, reliable lead in Minecraft.

Lead is a useful item that you can craft with just a few ingredients and make your life a lot easier. You can right click on a mob with it and then be able to lure them in the direction you are moving. It is also possible to strap a wire to a fence post to keep a mob stationary in a certain area. Not only that, but you can easily leash multiple mobs at the same time.

Using the resources listed below, the recipe for a lead always yields two items at once. The resources are:

String is a drop from the spider mob in Minecraft. These arachnids can drop 0-2 strands after they are defeated. Slimeballs are also mob drops, which you can get by killing slimes. Only the smallest slimes drop slimeballs and the amount is the same as string from spiders. You also need a crafting table, a block used to perform complex crafting actions.
