Leads (IPA: /liːd/) also known as leashes, are items used to leash and lead passive mobs.

Usage and behavior

SuspendedPigs

One block tall mobs, such as pigs, suspend at 7 blocks above the ground.

Right-clicking on a mob while holding a lead will tie it to the mob, allowing it to be moved by the player. Right-clicking on the mob again will release it. Other inventory spaces can be selected while holding the lead; multiple mobs can be attached to a lead at once.

SuspendedCows

Two block tall mobs, such as cows, also suspend at 7 blocks above the ground.

With a mob on a lead, right-clicking onto a fence will attach any leads you are holding to the fence with a visible knot. Attacking the knot or removing the fence post removes the lead(s). Also if an arrow (including those shot by skeletons) hits the knot, then the knot will break and drop as an item (even in creative mode).

A lead will stretch a maximum of ten meters before breaking. Whenever a lead is removed or broken it will drop as an item at the location of the mob.

Most passive mobs can be "leashed". These include: horses, wolves, cats, sheep, pigs, cows, mooshrooms, chickens, and squids. The same can be done to Iron Golems and Snow Golems. Although Zombie Pigmen could be considered passive until provoked, they cannot be attached to a lead. Villagers can not be leashed since the 1.6.2 update. Before patch 1.6.2, villagers could only be leashed in multiplayer, as it required one player to open the trade interface and another to leash the villager while the trade interface is open, as two players cannot access the same trade interface at the same time (verified). Bats are the only passive mobs which cannot be attached to a lead, and any mobs which naturally despawn (such as the squid) will still despawn if they are attached, unless the mob was named with a Name Tag.

You can use the lead to guide horses across deep water. This is useful, as you will be thrown off the horse if you enter water deeper than two blocks.

It is not possible to attach hostile mobs by traditional methods, but can be done by modifying the region save files. Certain mobs (e.g. bats) however, as well as players, cannot be attached even with this method.

Mobs can be suspended from leads if the fence they are attached to is 7 blocks above the ground. This factor goes for both one and two block tall mobs. The method of suspending mobs is an alternative to adding fences to prevent a mob from moving while on a lead. However, once suspended, the likelihood of a mob dying from fall damage is high, especially if the fence is only the minimum of 7 blocks above the surface.

If the player is holding a lead connected to a mob, walks through a nether portal, then walks back through it, the player will still have the leads attached to the mob. However, if the mob walks into a nether portal, the leads are broken and dropped as items in the other dimension.

'''Snowballs''' are throwable combat items that hit but do not damage most [[Mob|mobs]] on impact.

== Obtaining ==
{{see also|Tutorials/Snow farming}}

=== Mining ===
A [[shovel]] without the [[Silk Touch]] enchantment can get 4 snowballs by breaking a [[snow block]], and 1–8 snowballs by breaking or blasting [[snow layer]]s – one per layer. The [[Fortune]] enchantment does not affect these amounts.

{{IN|bedrock}}, snowballs are dropped from snow layers even when mined with a Silk Touch shovel.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-59729||Snow layers don't drop themselves when mined with a silk touch enchanted shovel}}</ref>

==== Explosions ====
Creeper and TNT [[explosion]]s leave snowballs in the resulting debris field if near snow.

==== Ravagers ====
{{IN|BE}}, Ravagers destroy snow layers, dropping snowballs.

==== Pistons ====
{{IN|BE}}, a block or piston head pushed into the position of snow layers destroys the snow layers, dropping snowballs. 1-3 layers drops 1 snowball, 4-5 layers drops 2 snowballs, 6-7 layers drops 3 snowballs and 8 layers drops 4 snowballs.

=== Mob loot ===
[[Snow golem]]s drop 0–15 snowballs upon death, unaffected by [[Looting]].

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|snowball}}

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}

=== Combat ===
[[File:Throwing a snowball on a pig.gif|300px|thumbnail|right|Throwing a snowball on a pig animation.]]
Snowballs can be thrown by {{control|using}} them. There is no charging time or cooldown for firing them,{{Until|java Combat Tests}} meaning they can be thrown as fast as the player can click.

Like other projectiles, snowballs are affected by gravity: their range is the same as those of [[egg]]s and [[ender pearl]]s, less than that of [[arrow]]s fired from [[bow]]s, and more than that of [[splash potion]]s. In [[Bedrock Edition]], players will receive damage and will be knockbacked.

Snowballs deal {{hp|3}} each to [[blaze]]s but they deal no damage to other mobs. Mobs still receive knockback and act the same as if they were being damaged (for example, [[zombified piglin]]s who are hit by snowballs become aggressive). Players {{in|BE}} receive knockback, while players {{in|JE}} are unaffected.<ref>{{bug|MC-3179|||WAI}}</ref>{{Until|java Combat Tests}}

When fighting the [[ender dragon]], [[end crystal]]s are able to be destroyed by snowballs being thrown at them.

Snowball, like other projectiles, can be used to distract the [[warden]]. A warden walks towards the location where the snowball lands to inspect it, giving the player time to escape. However, if snowballs are fired too frequently (at least twice in 5 seconds), the warden walks straight to the player instead.
In the new versions they can hit players but just only in bedrock
=== Dispenser ===
Snowballs can be fired from [[dispenser]]s.

== Sounds ==

Thrown snowballs use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

Issues

Issues relating to "Lead" or "Leash" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia

  • If you kill a mob tied to a fence the knot on the fence will still exist. Making a way to double leads if you have an infinity enchantment on a Bow which is renewable via trading or through Item_repair.
  • The lead can extend out to 5 blocks when tied between a fence post and a mob.
  • Leads can also be attached to a Nether Brick Fence.
  • The lead is named as 'leash' in the texture file.
  • Untamed ocelots can be captured and tied up using a lead.
  • In Creative mode, players can leash mobs, pull the mob into the air and tie it to a fence post up high. However, the lead tends to break if the player moves upward too quickly.
  • Leashing farm-able mobs (e.g. cows, pigs) seems to negate the function of wheat (for cows) or carrots (for pigs) after releasing the mob.
  • Leads cannot be attached to hostile mobs, players, villagers, or bats.
  • You can ride in a boat while leading a mob on a leash. The mobs move as fast as the boat does and the leads should not break.
  • Through NBT Editing you can leash all mobs, including villager, creeper, etc.
  • Also through NBT Editing you can leash mobs to other mobs.
  • You can destroy a knot tied on a fence by shooting it with a bow and arrow.
  • Landing a leashed mob (that has recently been suspended in air) in water will negate the fall damage.
  • You cannot lead a villager, as the right click will just open up the trading menu.
