Lead Fences
Lead Fences lets players attach leads to fences on a server, and makes fences leashable without a leash knot.
What it does
Players can attach a lead to a fence, so mobs can be tied to it without placing a leash knot first. The mod is a simple server-side change that runs on Fabric and needs Polymer. Polymer is a required dependency, and the mod depends on Fabric API as well. Because only the server needs it, players join without installing anything. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is under the MIT License, so it is open source. Files target 1.21.8 – 26.3, with 1.2.2 for 26.3 as the latest Fabric file.
Key features
Leashable fences
Fences accept leads directly, so a mob can be tied to a fence post without a separate knot.
Knot-free leashing
Leashing to a fence removes the need for a leash knot, which saves materials and placement steps.
Server-side operation
Only the server needs the mod, so players connect without installing it on their own game.
