Way Better Leads

by ASTRELION

Way Better Leads changes what happens when a lead is pulled too far from a mob, so the player is teleported instead of the lead breaking.

What it does

When a lead stretches past its limit, the player is teleported to the mob rather than the lead snapping. Only players are affected, and leads attached between other mobs or entities keep their normal behaviour. Servers need the mod, while players may leave it out. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 1.21.10 – 26.3 with 26.3 as the latest version, and the mod is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source.

Key features

  1. Player teleport on overstretch

    A lead pulled beyond its length moves the player to the attached mob instead of breaking the lead.

  2. Only players are affected

    The teleport applies to players alone, so leads between other mobs and entities behave as they normally do.

  3. Datapack option

    The same behaviour is available as a datapack, which is placed in a world's datapacks folder.
