Leashable Collars (Unofficial Port)
Some Minecraft mods are about conquering bosses or automating farms. Others are about something stranger and more social: giving players a way to play as pets, with collars, deeds, leashes, and a whole toolkit of owner-and-pet interactions. Leashable Collars (Unofficial Port) is the community effort that keeps that experience alive across a much wider spread of game versions, and it is one of the most feature-dense roleplay add-ons you can drop into a server today.
This port of jlortiz0's original mod exists for a simple reason: the original only covered a narrow slice of Minecraft releases, and players on newer builds were left out. The unofficial port backports and forward-ports the latest features so that friends running different setups can still share the same pet play experience.
What the Mod Actually Adds
At its core, the mod revolves around the Collar, a dyeable piece of equipment with separately colorable collar and paw-tag sections. A Shift+Right-Click opens the dye screen, and Shift+Right-Clicking a consenting "Owned" player equips the collar on them. A Tagless Collar offers the same look without the paw tag, and the Blank Deed of Ownership starts the consent chain: sign it as the owner, hand it to your pet to stamp it, then craft the Stamped Deed of Ownership together with a Collar to bind that specific collar.
Tools, Toys, and Enchantments
- Clickers and Laser Pointers, both dyeable, force "Owned" players to look at you or at a dot.
- The Collar Lock-inator applies or removes Curse of Binding on collars, paws, and foot paws, while the Diamond Lock-inator makes those bindings permanent against a Golden Spatula.
- The Pet Patroller toggles force crawling and opens the Pet Controls screen, which governs speech, commands, movement, and vision.
- The Inventory Editor pins individual slots shut, and the Magic Grooming Brush rewards players with hearts and a happy pant.
- Paws and Foot Paws make holding and interacting with blocks deliberately awkward, configurable by the owner.
- Dog Beds, Dog Bowls, and the toggleable Invisible Fence round out the furniture side.
- Enchantments include Audible Clicker, Beckon, Laser Reach, Healing Collar, Tight Leash Collar, and Spiked Collar, each with clear level-based effects.
If you want a fast, fuss-free setup, the foxygame.net launcher is worth a look: it lists Leashable Collars (Unofficial Port) in its add-on catalog and handles version matching for you, so you spend your evening playing instead of untangling dependency trees. That matters here, because the port's accessory requirements shift depending on which build you target.
Supported Versions and Loaders
Leashable Collars (Unofficial Port) for Minecraft targets Fabric first and foremost, with builds spanning the 1.21.x line and the newer 26.x releases. The dependency picture is worth reading carefully before you launch:
- Fabric 1.21.11 builds require the Accessories Fabric Port by minecraftplayz01.
- Fabric 26.1 through 26.2 builds require Accessories (Unofficial Fabric Port) by the port's own maintainer.
NeoForge support has also been part of the port's scope on several versions, so check the file list for your exact loader before downloading. Mixing a Fabric build with a NeoForge instance, or skipping the Accessories dependency, is the single most common cause of a crash on startup.
Game Rules You Should Know
The mod leans heavily on gamerules, and their naming changed across versions. On 1.21.8 and earlier they use lowerCamelCase with no prefix, such as /gamerule playerAllowAttackOwner true. On 1.21.9 and later they use snake_case with a namespace prefix, such as /gamerule playercollars:player_allow_atack_owner true. Most default to sensible values: playerLeashesBreak is on, leashedPlayersRideEntities is off, and collarForceEquipUnowned is off so nobody gets collared without consent. If you run a public server, leave collarForceEquipAssignsOwned and collarForceEquipClaimsCollar at their defaults until you understand exactly what they change.
How to Install
Learning how to install Leashable Collars (Unofficial Port) is straightforward once the dependencies are in place. Install Fabric Loader or NeoForge for your chosen version, drop the matching Accessories build into your mods folder, then add the port's jar alongside it. Launch once to generate the config, then set your gamerules in chat. On a server, install everything on both client and server, since the collar and deed systems rely on synchronized data.
When you download Leashable Collars (Unofficial Port), grab the file that matches your Minecraft version exactly rather than the newest one available. The port moves quickly, and a build written for 26.2 will not behave correctly on 1.21.11.
Final Thoughts
Leashable Collars (Unofficial Port) is a rare thing: a niche roleplay mod kept alive by the community long after its original release window closed. Between collars, deeds, clickers, patrollers, and a deep gamerule layer, it gives consenting groups an enormous amount of control over how pet play works on their server. Read the dependency notes, match your versions, and it will run cleanly for seasons to come.
