To get a lead in Minecraft, you need to craft it by placing 5 strings into a crafting table. A lead allows you to move animals and other mobs without the risk of them running away.
Steps to Make a Lead in Minecraft
Crafting a lead will only require you to collect a few strings.
Get 5 String
The easiest way to get string in Minecraft is by defeating a spider, which drops 0–2 string. Alternatively, you can get the same amount from cats or cave spiders, and if you need a bigger loot drop, you can defeat a strider, which drops 2–5 string. You can also obtain string by breaking cobwebs or finding it inside chests in structures such as monster rooms, bastion remnants, desert pyramids, pillager outposts, trial ruins, or woodland mansions.
Craft the Lead
To get a lead in Minecraft, open a crafting table and place five strings by creating a square starting from the top-left slot, then add one more string in the bottom-right slot. After placing them correctly, you will receive a lead that allows you to move animals and other mobs.
