Description

Light Gray Harness is the item that makes a happy ghast rideable, because a happy ghast can be ridden only while wearing a harness. Using Light Gray Harness on a happy ghast equips the harness, and a dispenser can equip Light Gray Harness too. Up to four players can ride one happy ghast at once. Light Gray Harness was added in Java Edition 1.21.6 and Bedrock Edition 1.21.90.

Light Gray Harness is crafted from 3 leather, 2 glass and 1 light gray wool, and one craft yields 1 harness. A harness of any color also becomes Light Gray Harness when combined with light gray dye, in a shapeless recipe. Shears used on a happy ghast wearing Light Gray Harness remove the harness, which drops as an item. The goggles on Light Gray Harness lower over the eyes while the happy ghast is ridden and rise when nobody rides, so other players can tell a rider is aboard even when that rider is invisible. The light gray color tints the decorative curtains on the sides of the happy ghast.
