Leash Villager

by Nico4play

Leash Villager lets players attach a lead to villagers and move them around, a change that only needs to be on the server.

What it does

Villagers can be tied to a leash and led from one place to another. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 21 release versions, 1.19 – 1.21.8, and it can also be installed as a Data Pack on server platforms.

The leash feature runs on the server, so the server needs the mod while players may add it on their own side. Starting from Minecraft 1.21.6, leashed villagers can no longer be tied to a fence, and the author is working on a workaround for this.

Uninstalling takes one command, /function villager leash:uninstall, which is run before removing the mod jar or the Data Pack file. The Data Pack sends a confirmation message in chat once the removal finishes. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Leash villagers

    Villagers can be put on a leash and led across the world, which adds a movement option the vanilla game does not offer.

  2. Data Pack version

    A Data Pack build is available for servers that prefer not to install a mod jar, placed in the world's datapacks folder.

  3. Command-based uninstall

    The /function villager leash:uninstall command removes the leash behavior before the files are deleted.
