Tie Players

A player holds a lead near another player and uses it to tie them, after which the tied player stays immobile and cannot use their hands. The tied player is released by using a sword on them. The lead is consumed in the process and the captive's inventory is cleared when tied, so the restraint works as a gameplay mechanic rather than a cosmetic effect.

Tying is limited to players whose health is at or below 4 hearts, which keeps the mechanic from being used against healthy opponents. While tied, the rope follows head movement rather than body movement. An in-game message appears for new players, briefly explaining how to tie another player. Mannequins can also be tied with a lead, and the restraint is untied with a sword in the same way.

The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 7 release versions, 1.21.10 – 26.3, with snapshot builds included. It also has a data pack build. The mod requires a resource pack to display the restraint correctly. The server must run it, while clients may leave it out. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
