Fence Winch
Fence Winch lets a fence post pull a leashed mob closer when it receives a redstone signal, with sound and particle feedback.
What it does
When a redstone signal reaches a fence post with a mob attached by a lead, the post winches the mob closer to itself. Each redstone pulse produces one step of winching, so a repeated signal can draw the mob in further. The effect is limited to mobs held by a lead on the post, and nothing else in the world changes.
The mod adds sound and particle effects to the winching. A leather tugging sound plays with the same cue used for equipping leather armor, and a trail of particles follows the lead line while the mob is pulled. The mod is server-side only, so a server can run it without any change on the player's side, and vanilla clients can connect to a server that uses it.
Installation needs Fabric API, which the mod uses for its server tick events. The mod is not open source. It is released under the MIT License and is published for Fabric alone, with a single build, 1.0.1, for 26.2, dated 2026-07-29.
