To craft a lasso (this also includes a rope with a leash) in Minecraft you need to stock up with four threads and one ball of mucus. We will talk about what it is and how to find these items a little later. First, we’ll talk about why you still need to make a lasso at Minecraft and what are its advantages.
Is it needed on the farm?
Surely every player would like to have a couple of animals on their minecraft site. And if this couple grows to a whole farm, which you need to keep an eye on and keep at hand, how can you control them? An interesting patch came to the aid of users, which added to the gameplay not only funny horses, but also a special lasso that allows you to keep any animal next to it.
Now you can forget about the constant manipulations with food and intimidating actions in order to lure the sheep you like. Using the lasso, you can attach the animal to the fence or transfer it from one place to another. In addition to harmless mobs, you can put several monsters on a leash, however, except for bats. Before you make a lasso out of a rope, you should remember one useful thing - at the same time you can lasso several mobs at once. Naturally, using several leashes, and not one.
The animal caught "on the hook" will dutifully follow the player. If you move away, ten blocks, then the leash will simply tear in half and remain on the ground, while the freed mob will rush out of sight. The positive side in this situation is the fact that the same lasso is suitable for repeated use.
Now let's talk about how to make a cowboy lasso. With our guide, this is really possible. We have already mentioned the necessary ingredients that will be required for crafting: thread and mucus. If the first can be easily done by yourself, then to find the second, you will have to try a little.
Where to get the mucus from?
This material can be obtained from special mobs - slugs. Their habitat is deep caves (below the fortieth level) and open canyons. Large individuals give themselves out with characteristic spanking sounds that make them easy to find. After the game was updated to version 1.4.2, slugs began to appear in areas of swamps at night. It is worth being careful when hunting these mobs - the "giants" cause serious damage, and before they die they can divide into several smaller individuals. Slug babies are completely harmless and easily killed with just one blow. The only thing worth fearing is that the player may end up in lava because of them.
One mob can throw from zero to two units of mucus. Using this material, you can create not only a rope - you can also craft a sticky piston and lava cream. A good solution is to build a farm on the spot where the most slugs appear.
How to make a lasso?
After you managed to get the mucus and thread, you should put them on a special workbench. Upon completion of crafting, the necessary item will appear in two units. By following this simple instruction, you can create a lasso at any time.
A little about practical application
If we already figured out the question of how to make a lasso, then it is time to look at how you can use this item in practice. You need to take it in your hand, and then right-click on any animal that is nearby. Thus, the lasso will control the mob. If you need to attach it to something, then you just need to click on the fence (given if it is already built). The distance on the leash should be five blocks, and if the leash in your hands - ten blocks. Recall that the lasso can break if the animal lags behind.
The use of such a leash can be useful in many cases, for example, when it is necessary to transfer a mob through a river. If the animal falls into the water, then it can be easily saved by simply pulling the other end of the rope.
Users have the opportunity to keep an attached animal next to them and at the same time carry out a number of other actions: fight monsters, collect resources or break blocks. Lasso captures almost all the inhabitants of the cube world of Minecraft, except for other residents, horses that appeared with the help of console teams, and bats. As for the portals, when you go through them, the leash just breaks.
