The upcoming Minecraft update is set to introduce an array of features to the game, ranging from the new happy ghast mob to Vibrant Visuals, and more. Among the host of other changes and improvements, shears in the game will be getting a bunch of new uses that will render them more useful than ever.

The upcoming update will bring a major overhaul to leads, allowing players to leash multiple mobs, tie them to areas, and even bind them with the happy ghast. Players will be able to use the shears to remove and obtain the leash, making it a seamless way of obtaining the item.

Additionally, the happy ghast will be receiving a harness that will allow players to tame the mob and ride it across the overworld, making it a new and nifty way to traverse the game. Players will be able to use shears to remove the harness from the mob and set it free or place a new one with a varied color. The shears make it significantly easier to complete this action and make the change.

Alongside these changes, the new update will also allow players to craft saddles. This will be an easy alternative to stumbling across the item in various chests. Now, players can also remove these saddles using shears, just like how they can remove the harness from the happy ghast mob.

Additionally, saddles, horse armor, harnesses, and carpets can now be removed from mobs by using Shears. This major overhaul to the power of the shears makes them a useful asset, giving them more uses than just obtaining items from sheep, mooshrooms, and other entities.
