CRAFTBOOK-2667 - Reported by Richard.Arkless

In today's bukkit build (2832) they have implemented the leash API and one of the features is the ability to link entities via leads and that gave me a few ideas which im not sure is possible or not

Link Animals together
Link multiple minecarts together to create a train
Hook a boat upto a fence (perfect for harbors)
Possibly even the ability to make lassos out of a lead and an arrow and when you shoot the mob then it will connect the lead with the mob and allow you to move it around

Other similar BetterLeads features were also implemented too.

Animal linking is possible, but sadly according to the bukkit javadocs.. Non living entities won't work, so boats, minecarts, arrows won't work.

Comment by Richard.Arkless

Dang I looked at the changelog and assumed it was talking about all entities. Oh well hopefully they consider doing this in a later build

Comment by me4502

I'm sure they would've allowed it if they could, they don't specifically stop it from happening.. The javadocs just say it won't work properly. I am guessing its a MC limitation for now, hopefully changed in 1.7

lol maybe make it so you can lasso people up.

Comment by me4502

Hmm, maybe an option where you can choose to be able to leash additional mobs (Incl players).

Comment by nanakisan

HEheheh just imagine it. Being able to hold moments in history where you can hang players.

Comment by me4502

I've added the ability to add extra leash-able mobs. No idea what would be the best way to select mobs to leash together.

Comment by me4502

All possible features of this have been implemented.

Comment by Richard.Arkless

Yea the features you have implemented work as expected and I cant think of any others that you could add (Except leashing animals together which I see now will be pretty buggy and difficult to implement)

Thanks
