Description

Orange Harness is an item that equips on a Happy Ghast and makes the Happy Ghast rideable. A Happy Ghast can be ridden only while wearing a harness, and up to four players can ride one Happy Ghast at once. Orange Harness is crafted from 3 Leather, 2 Glass and 1 Orange Wool, or by combining any other harness with Orange Dye. Orange Harness does not stack and was added in Java Edition 1.21.6.

The color of Orange Harness sets the color of the decorative curtains that flow from the sides of the Happy Ghast, so the Happy Ghast wears orange curtains. Large aviator goggles on Orange Harness lower over the eyes of the Happy Ghast while a player rides and rise above the eyes when no one rides, which lets other players see that someone is riding even when the rider is invisible. Shears remove Orange Harness from a Happy Ghast, and Orange Harness drops as an item. Orange Harness cannot be enchanted in Survival Mode.

Guide

How to use Orange Harness in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Craft Orange Harness

    Orange Harness is crafted at a Crafting Table from 3 Leather, 2 Glass and 1 Orange Wool.

  2. 2

    Dye another harness

    Any harness combined with Orange Dye in the crafting grid becomes Orange Harness, and the arrangement does not matter.

  3. 3

    Equip a Happy Ghast

    A player uses Orange Harness on a Happy Ghast to equip the harness. A Dispenser can also equip Orange Harness on a Happy Ghast.

  4. 4

    Ride the Happy Ghast

    A Happy Ghast wearing Orange Harness carries up to four players at once. After a player dismounts, the Happy Ghast snaps to the nearest cardinal direction, and the player can stand on the Happy Ghast like on solid blocks.

  5. 5

    Remove with Shears

    Shears used on a Happy Ghast take off Orange Harness, and Orange Harness drops as an item.

Lead a Happy Ghast

A Happy Ghast without a harness follows players who hold a harness, so a player holding Orange Harness leads a Happy Ghast along.
