HOW TO CRAFT LEAD IN MINECRAFT

Crafting lead recipe

The foremost thing you should know is that lead is a relatively inexpensive item. Crafting requires only 1 Slimeball and 4 Strings. Both resources can be obtained through battles, and below you can find a detailed guide on how you can get Slimeballs and Strings in Minecraft.

How to get strings

Strings are way more accessible than Slimeballs, and you can obtain them in 2 ways. First, you should head to an abandoned mine. In addition to valuable resources like gold and diamonds, you will find a lot of cobwebs there. You only need to destroy cobwebs using a sword to harvest strings.

The second way is more straightforward but more dangerous. You should wait until zombies spawn at night. After that, you should find spiders and kill them to get strings. But keep in mind that you will find other monsters at night, so you need to be pretty careful not to get killed.

Fortunately, there is nothing challenging about obtaining Slimeballs. You should simply kill Fallen Slimes to get this item. Generally, this mob can't deal significant damage, so you can kill it even if you are a beginner. Unfortunately, Fallen Slimes can only be found in Swampland biomes. Therefore, you should spend a considerable amount of time finding them.
