About Tether

From SpigotMC

The ultimate leashing solution. Leash any mob or player and take full control over leashing.

​
Overview
Tether is the ultimate leashing solution. You can leash any mob or player, and can take full control over leashing across your server with a multitude of configuration options and integrations.

It supports all default leashing mechanics, has a mob whitelist and blacklist, and integrates with your favourite land management plugins.

Features
  • Leash any mob in Minecraft.
  • Attach any leashed mob to a fence (right-click the fence).
  • Leash any mobs together (sneak + right-click the mob).
  • Entity leash blacklist and whitelist.
    • Tip: You can also write DEFAULT_LEASHABLE_ENTITIES to target all entities that are leashable by default.
  • Leash players.
Integrations
Tether integrates with the following plugins (for both entity and player leashing):
  • WorldGuard (using the "leash" flag).
    • The "leash" flag respects the default INTERACT flag, which in turn respects the BUILD flag.
    • However, in the __global__ region, only BUILD is checked.
  • GriefPrevention
  • Towny
  • Lands
  • GriefDefender
  • Residence (using the "leash" flag).
  • Citizens - Respects your NPCs' "leashable" setting.
Commands
  • /tether reload - Reloads the configuration.
Permissions
  • tether.leashplayers - Allows leashing other players. (Make sure to also enable player leashing in the config).
  • tether.reload - Allows /tether reload
