LeadPhysics
by manukq_
Players who keep leads attached to fences and animals see the rope drawn as a stiff line, and LeadPhysics swaps that for a physically simulated rope.
What it does
Instead of the rigid vanilla line, the leash is drawn as a rope that sags and swings under its own physics. The simulation is adjustable, so its strength can be raised or lowered, and the rope can be drawn either flat in 2D or as a full 3D shape. An optional block collision lets the rope react to solid blocks along its length. Vanilla lead logic stays intact, so leashing, following and breaking work as they do without the mod.
Settings are handled through an in-game configuration screen, which lets the player enable or disable the mod and pick the render mode. Because the mod only changes how the rope looks and moves on the client, it adds no server-side behavior and no new items or recipes. LeadPhysics is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric only, with files covering 1.21.8 – 26.3.
Key features
Simulated rope
The leash follows a physical rope model instead of a rigid vanilla line, so it sags and swings naturally.
2D and 3D rendering
A configurable render mode draws the rope either as a flat 2D line or as a full 3D rope.
Adjustable physics strength
The strength of the simulation can be tuned to suit the player's taste in motion.
Optional block collision
The rope can collide with blocks, which can be switched on or off in the settings.
In-game settings screen
Options are changed on an in-game screen, so no configuration files need to be edited by hand.

How it compares
Dynamic Falling Tree is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that runs on client and server and is open source under the MIT License, so it covers a different part of the game. Modify Camera Collision is client-side only, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and published for 1.17 – 26.2. Panda Lead Break is server-side only, open source under CC0 1.0 Universal and published for 1.21.4 – 26.3, so it changes lead breaking rather than how the rope looks.

What the author says
LeadPhysics replaces the stiff vanilla leash look with a smoother physical rope simulation while keeping the mod lightweight and client-side.
