Harnesses are items used to mount and ride happy ghasts. Sixteen color variants of the item exist based on which color of wool is used to craft the item.

Usage

Happy ghasts can be ridden only when equipped with a harness. Using a harness on a happy ghast equips it. Up to 4 players can ride a single happy ghast at once.

Using shears on a happy ghast wearing a harness removes the harness from the ghast and drops it as an item.

Happy ghasts follow players holding a harness if they do not already have one equipped.

The harness features large vintage-style aviator goggles, which lower and cover the happy ghast's eyes when it is being ridden. They raise above the eyes when not being ridden. This allows other players to tell when a happy ghast is being ridden by a player, even when said player is invisible.

The color of the harness affects the color of the decorative curtains flowing from the sides.

If a happy ghast is harnessed and a player dismounts the happy ghast, the happy ghast will snap to the nearest cardinal direction and the player will be able to stand on the happy ghast as with solid blocks.
