Ender Lead
by alsojiangshi
A Forge item named Ender Lead lets a player catch a mob, villager or pet and carry it to another spot, and release it there.
What it does
Striking an entity with the item stores it inside, and the entity is removed from the world with its saved data kept in the item's NBT. Nearly any entity can be captured, including modded creatures. Each release costs one point of durability, and the item lasts 15 uses.
The tooltip shows what the item holds, the item glows while it contains an entity, and the Enderman teleport sound plays when an entity is captured or released. The item is crafted shapelessly, and the mod adds nothing beyond this single item. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the latest file is 1.0.1 for 1.20.1, released on 2025-09-14. Ender Lead is open source under the MIT License and needs no other mod.
Key features
Capturing entities
A left click on an entity stores it in the item, and most mobs, villagers and modded creatures can be taken this way.
Releasing entities
A right click on a block spawns the stored entity at that position, and the entity keeps its saved data.
Durability and uses
Each release uses one durability point, and the item has 15 uses before it wears out.
Tooltip and glint
The tooltip names the stored entity and the item glows while it holds one, so the contents can be read at a glance.

Use cases

Who it’s for: The mod suits technical survival modpacks where controlling entity positions matters, and players who want a small, performance-conscious addition.
