Leash Master
by lesxmore
Leash Master lets players attach a leash to mobs and to other players, using a Fabric mod that also runs on Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur servers.
What it does
Players can leash mobs, and with the right permission they can also leash other players. The mod targets Fabric and is published for game versions 1.20.1 – 26.2 across 22 release versions, with the latest Fabric file, 1.0.2, built for 26.2 and dated 2026-08-03. Installation on a server means placing the jar in the plugins folder and restarting the server.
Server administrators control who can use the feature through permission nodes. A node grants the ability to leash entities in general, and other nodes can restrict leashing to specific entity types, which lets an operator replace the default with the types they choose. A separate node grants the ability to leash other players. The mod is first published in July 2024, and the code is closed, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Leashing mobs
Players can attach a leash to mobs and move them around with it, without needing other items.

With the matching permission, a player can leash another player and lead them along.
Permission-based control
Administrators grant leashing of all entities or of specific entity types through permission nodes.
Server plugin install
On a server the mod is placed in the plugins folder, and a restart loads it.

Who it’s for: Server owners who want to control leashing through permissions, and players on those servers who want to lead mobs or other players.
