# Stretchy Leash
\nMakes leash breakages less likely when they can be avoided, and easier to detect when they do happen.<\/p>\n
## Changes
\nWith the default configuration:
\n– **Leashes don’t immediately break past their maximum length,** they will break only if they remain over-stretched for too long. This delay helps avoid breakage caused by tick lag or ping lag, where the player appears to teleport forward from the game’s perspective.
\n– **Leashed mobs are pulled in more strongly,** so they can get back within range faster when over-stretching. Also reduces the risk of breakage when travelling at high speed.
\n– **Leashed mobs have their step height increased to 1**, making them less likely to get stuck when travelling on uneven terrains.
\n– **Audio cues will play at the leader’s position**, whenever a leash starts to over-stretch, breaks, or is manually removed.<\/p>\n
## Config
\nThe config for clients can be edited using Mod-Menu + Cloth-Config. On servers, use the `\/stretchy-leash config` command (admin-only).<\/p>\n
#### `gracePeriod` (Integer)
\nDefault: 35 ticks (1.75s)
\nVanilla: 0 <\/p>\n
Controls how long a leash can remain over-stretched without breaking.<\/p>\n
#### `maxLength` (Double)
\nDefault: 10 blocks
\nVanilla: 10 blocks <\/p>\n
Controls how far a leash can reach before starting to over-stretch.<\/p>\n
This does not affect the distance at wich mobs start being pulled in (6 blocks).<\/p>\n
#### `pullStrength` (Double)
\nDefault: 2
\nVanilla: 1 <\/p>\n
Controls how fast leashed mobs are pulled toward the leader.<\/p>\n
#### `stepHeight` (Float)
\nDefault: 1
\nVanilla: 0 <\/p>\n
Increases the step-height of leashed mob to at least this value.<\/p>\n
## Caveats
\nIn order to be fully server-side, the sound `item.crossbow.load_middle` is reused as the over-stretching cue. This sound event lacks a subtitle in vanilla, and would show an erroneous subtitle if it had one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
