Description

White Harness is the white variant of the harness, 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 one Happy Ghast at once. White Harness is crafted from 3 Leather, 2 Glass and 1 White Wool, does not stack (maximum stack size 1) and is renewable (it can be crafted again and again). Harnesses were added in Java Edition 1.21.6 and in Bedrock Edition 1.21.90, where they were experimental in 1.21.80.

White Harness sets the color of the decorative curtains flowing from the sides of a Happy Ghast. Using White Harness on a Happy Ghast puts the gear on the creature, and a Dispenser can do the same. When a player dismounts a harnessed Happy Ghast, the Happy Ghast snaps to the nearest cardinal direction, and the player can stand on the Happy Ghast as on solid blocks. Shears used on a harnessed Happy Ghast remove the harness, and the harness drops as an item.
