BetterLeads
A mod that allows you to use leads on more entities as well as chain leashes.
Currently, works with Merchant Entities (Villagers and Wandering Traders), most Hostile Mobs, Water Creatures (fish and squid), turtles and pandas, you can configure which of these categories are enabled through ModMenu.
The Mobs which it doesn't work properly with are:
- Phantoms
- Ghasts
- Slimes
- Magma-cubes
- Shulkers
- Vexs
- and Bats
To chain leashes between entities leash an entity as normal then click on entity you want to leash it to whilst sneaking, this feature is disabled by default. Leashes connecting entities do not persist across reloads and may be a bit buggy.
Usage
Put the latest release from Modrinth, GitHub or CurseForge in your mods folder along with Fabric API and ModMenu.
Configuration
The mod can be configured through the /betterleads command or by directly editing the betterleads.toml file in the
config directory, in singleplayer the mod can also be configured through modmenu.
