Escortation MC
by Dr.MEERKAT
Escortation MC lets players attach villagers, wandering traders and zombie villagers to an Escort Chain and lead them in a line, a Fabric mod for 26.2.
What it does
Escort Chains use leash-style behavior: a player attaches a villager by right-clicking it, or sneak-right-clicks to attach it directly, then connects several villagers into a single-file escort line. A line can be secured to a fence, which gives the group a fixed spot to wait at. Villagers, Wandering Traders and Zombie Villagers are all supported.
An Escort Chain is used up in survival when it is attached, and it follows the same movement limits as a vanilla lead. Other mobs keep the normal vanilla leash rules, so the mod only changes how these villager types are handled. The chain is rendered at waist level in a blue-grey color, and a matching fence knot appears where a line is tied off. Releasing a chain plays a metallic sound.
The Escort Chain is crafted through the recipe book after a player obtains a lead, so it becomes available as part of normal progress. Escortation MC is a Fabric mod with the client and server environment, so it must be installed on both sides for multiplayer use, and it is released under the MIT License. It is not open source. Files exist for 26.2 only, with version 1.0.0 published on 2026-07-31.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want to move villagers by hand, and server owners who run villager transport on a multiplayer world. Because the mod is client and server, both sides need it.
How it compares
Mob Chains is also a Fabric mod for 26.2 with the client and server environment, but it is open source under the MIT License, while Escortation MC is not. Leash Villager is a server-side only Fabric mod for 1.21.9 – 26.3, so players join without installing anything, and it is not open source under All rights reserved. Leash Everything covers 1.21.1 – 26.2 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and needs the server while clients stay optional.
