Don't Break My Lead!
by 7410
Don't Break My Lead! is a Fabric server-side mod that stops firework boosting from breaking leads attached to elytra in 1.21.6 and later.
What it does
Since Minecraft 25w16a, boosting while gliding can snap a lead that is attached to the player. This mod prevents that break and undoes the change Mojang introduced. It only takes effect on a server or in a singleplayer world, and it is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0, so it is not open source. Builds cover 1.21.6 – 1.21.11, with 1.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file.
Key features
Lead protection during boosts
Leads stay intact when the player boosts mid-glide, so the connection survives the maneuver.
Reverts the 25w16a behavior
The mod undoes the lead-breaking change that Mojang added in 25w16a, restoring earlier handling.
Server-side operation
Only the server needs the mod, so players can join without installing anything.

What the author says
In 25w16a, Mojang added that when you use a firework rocket while gliding with an elytra, all of your attached leads break. This mod undoes that change. Only works if the mod is on the server or in a singleplayer world.
