Description

Blue Harness is an item that makes a happy ghast rideable: a happy ghast can be ridden only while wearing a harness, and up to four players can ride the same happy ghast at once. Blue Harness is crafted from 3 leather, 2 glass, and 1 blue wool, stacks to 1, and was added to Java Edition in 1.21.6. The blue color of Blue Harness sets the color of the decorative curtains that flow from the sides of the happy ghast.

Large aviator goggles on Blue Harness lower over the eyes of the happy ghast while someone rides and rise again when nobody rides, so other players can tell a rider is aboard even when that rider is invisible. After a rider dismounts a harnessed happy ghast, the happy ghast snaps to the nearest cardinal direction (north, south, east, or west), and players can stand on the happy ghast as on solid blocks.

Guide

How to ride a happy ghast with Blue Harness in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Craft Blue Harness

    Blue Harness is crafted on a crafting table from 3 leather, 2 glass, and 1 blue wool: a row of 3 leather with glass, blue wool, and glass in the row directly beneath.

  2. 2

    Recolor a harness

    Any harness combined with blue dye in the crafting grid turns into Blue Harness.

  3. 3

    Equip the happy ghast

    Using Blue Harness on a happy ghast equips the harness, and a dispenser can equip a harness as well.

  4. 4

    Ride the happy ghast

    Up to four players can ride the same harnessed happy ghast at once.

  5. 5

    Remove the harness

    Shears used on a harnessed happy ghast take off Blue Harness and drop the harness as an item.

Lead a happy ghast without a harness

Happy ghasts without a harness follow players who hold a harness, so holding Blue Harness leads a happy ghast along.

Frequently asked questions

Does Blue Harness stack?

No. Blue Harness has a stack size of 1, so every harness takes its own inventory slot.

Is Blue Harness renewable?

Yes. Blue Harness is renewable (more can always be made, so the supply never runs out).

Can Blue Harness be enchanted?

Not in Survival mode. In Java Edition Creative mode, an anvil can add enchantments such as Thorns or Protection to Blue Harness, and other enchantments can be applied but have no effect.

How many harness colors exist?

Sixteen dyed colors exist, and Blue Harness is the blue one.
