A: To craft a lead, you need a slimeball. However, you can acquire a slimeball without crafting it by either killing a Wandering Trader or separating them from their llamas.

 

Q: How do I lead a cow?

A: To lead a cow, simply click on the animal while holding the lead. It will then follow you around. If you want the cow to remain within a certain range, you can click on a fence or other structure to "hitch" the animal to it. The cow will stay within five blocks of the location where you attached the lead.
