Safe Leash
Safe Leash ensures that tamed animals and pets stay safe from drowning when attached to a leash. Big or small, your companions are protected, making water travel and exploration worry-free.
After taking drowning damage, the leash breaks and the mob rises to the surface.
A horse remains submerged because the leash prevents it from floating to the surface.
The leash drops as an item, allowing the horse to resurface safely.
Description
Safe Leash
Leashed mobs can be vulnerable in ways many players don’t expect.
If a mob is pulled underwater — by a boat, a player, another mob, or currents — it can drown while still tethered.
Mobs that are untied naturally float to the surface, but leashed mobs remain at risk.
Safe Leash is a lightweight mod for Minecraft 1.21.6+ that makes leash behavior safer and more predictable.
✨ What it does
- When a leashed mob takes drowning damage:
- The leash is dropped as an item, freeing the mob
- The mob receives Water Breathing for 10 seconds to safely resurface
This can be understood as the mob panicking, breaking free, and instinctively holding its breath long enough to reach the surface.
✅ Features
- 🧠 NeoForge & Fabric support – designed for Minecraft 1.21.6+
- 🎮 Client/server compatible – works in singleplayer and multiplayer
- 🔗 Improved leash mechanics – prevents accidental mob drowning, regardless of what pulls the mob underwater
- 🎨 Lightweight & focused – solves leash-related risks without unnecessary changes
