Stretchy Leash
by Estecka
Stretchy Leash changes how far a lead can reach and how a mob behaves once it is pulled past the limit, for servers running Fabric.
What it does
Leashes in this mod can be stretched beyond their normal length. A leash only breaks after it has stayed over-stretched for a configurable time, and a short grace period lets a mob be pulled back within range before anything snaps. An audio cue signals when a leash is about to break, so the player can see the risk coming.
The settings control the reach before over-stretch starts, the pull strength applied to a leashed mob, and the step height of leashed mobs, which reduces the chance of getting stuck on slopes. A larger preset also applies to Ghasts. Raising the pull value too far can fling mobs away at unrealistic speed, and even a small increase is noted as risky.
Stretchy Leash is open source under the MIT License and runs on Fabric only, with files for 26.3 and earlier builds from 1.19.4 onward. It is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and the server owner sets the behavior.
Key features
Over-stretch timer
A leash can stay past its maximum length for a set time before it breaks, so brief overshoots do not snap it.
Grace period
A short window lets a stretched mob return within range before the leash is considered lost.
Audio warning
A sound plays from the leader's position when a leash is close to breaking.
Stronger pull and step height
Leashed mobs can be pulled in faster and climb one block higher, so they keep up at high speeds and stay on slopes.

Controls how long a leash can remain over-stretched without breaking. Increases the step-height of leashed mob. This reduces the risks of mobs falling behind while climbing slopes.
