⚠ This Data Pack will NOT be updated beyond 1.21.8. You can check out the mod version I've made here, which does exactly the same thing!

Leash Villager

You can now take Villagers on a leash!

❕ Heads up! Unfortunately, starting from Minecraft version 1.21.6, it is no longer possible to tie
leashed villagers to a fence. I'm actively trying to work on a workaround for this. 📍22/06/2025
