How to Make Black Harness in Minecraft
Black Harness
Black Harness is the black variant of the harness that lets up to four players ride a Happy Ghast together.
Description
A Happy Ghast can be ridden only while wearing a harness, and up to four players ride one Happy Ghast at once. Using Black Harness on a Happy Ghast equips the harness, and the black color sets the color of the decorative curtains flowing from the sides of the Happy Ghast. Large vintage-style aviator goggles on Black Harness lower over the eyes of the Happy Ghast while it is ridden and rise again when nobody rides, so other players can tell that someone is riding even when the rider is invisible.

Guide
How to get and use Black Harness in Minecraft
-
1
Collect the materials
Gather 3 Leather, 2 Glass and 1 Black Wool for the crafting recipe, or one harness of any color plus 1 Black Dye for the dyeing recipe.
-
2
Craft Black Harness
Open a Crafting Table, place 3 Leather in a row, then put Glass, Black Wool and Glass in the row directly below the Leather to craft 1 Black Harness.
-
3
Dye an existing harness instead
Combine any harness with Black Dye anywhere in the crafting grid, because this recipe is shapeless and returns 1 Black Harness.
-
4
Equip the Happy Ghast
Hold Black Harness and use Black Harness on a Happy Ghast to equip the harness.
-
5
Remove the harness
Use Shears on the harnessed Happy Ghast, and Black Harness drops as an item.
A Happy Ghast without a harness follows players who hold a harness, so holding Black Harness draws Happy Ghasts toward the player.
