Steps To Make A Minecraft Lead

1. Open Your Crafting Menu

To craft a lead, you first need to open your crafting table in Minecraft. You should see the same grid as in the image below.

2. Add The String And Slimeball To The Menu

In the crafting menu, add the 4 strings and 1 slimeball to the grid.

You must add each item to the grid exactly as shown in the image below. In the 1st row place 1 string in the first box and 1 string in the second box. In the 2nd row place 1 string in the first box and 1 slimeball in the second box. In the 3rd row place 1 string in the third box. This is the Minecraft lead recipe.
