Lead is an item in Minecraft. It is crafted from 5 String.
A Lead is an item crafted from five string, primarily used to leash and guide passive mobs. It can be attached to animals such as horses, llamas, and bees, allowing players to move them without a saddle. Leads can also be tied to fences, preventing the attached mob from wandering away. They can be found in woodland mansion chests, generated in some villages, or obtained by breaking a wandering trader’s leads when their llamas are detached. Due to their versatility, leads are useful for transporting and organizing mobs.
