LeashExtender is a lightweight yet powerful solution for Minecraft server owners who want to overcome the frustrating limitations of vanilla leads. Whether you are transporting livestock across vast oceans or leading a loyal pet through dense forests, this plugin ensures your entities stay by your side without the constant annoyance of snapping leashes.

🌟 Key Features

♾️ Infinite Leash Distance Break free from the 10-block limit. Set any maximum distance you desire, or go completely infinite to ensure your mobs never get left behind.
🪗 Smooth Elastic Pulling Unlike simple "anti-break" plugins that result in ugly, stretched out ropes, LeashExtender features an Elastic Mode. When an entity gets too far, it is gently pulled toward the player, maintaining a natural aesthetic while keeping the entity close.
🌀 Automatic Teleportation If an entity falls too far behind or gets stuck in unloaded chunks/caves, the plugin can automatically teleport it to your location based on your custom threshold.
🚀 Cross-Version Compatibility Built to support Paper/Spigot 1.16 through 1.21.4. It utilizes modern event cancellation on newer versions while employing smart re-leashing logic on older versions to ensure stability.
⚙️ Real-time Configuration Adjust pull strength, teleport distances, and max ranges directly in-game with intuitive commands and full tab-completion support.
