Description

Gray Harness is the gray variant of the harness, the item that makes a Happy Ghast rideable. Using Gray Harness on a Happy Ghast equips the harness, and a dispenser can do the same. A Happy Ghast wearing Gray Harness carries up to four players at once, and the color sets the tint of the decorative curtains hanging from the sides of the Happy Ghast.

Gray Harness is crafted in a crafting table from 3 leather, 2 glass, and 1 gray wool, or by dyeing: any harness plus 1 gray dye makes Gray Harness in a shapeless recipe. The aviator goggles on the harness lower over the eyes of the Happy Ghast while a player rides and lift when no rider is aboard, so other players can spot an occupied Happy Ghast even when the rider is invisible. Shears used on a Happy Ghast wearing Gray Harness remove the harness, and the harness drops as an item.
