Connectible Chains Mod — Reference

Core Mechanics

The mod changes how chains and leads interact with the environment. Instead of placing a chain as a vertical or horizontal block, players can now "link" two points together.

Creating a Connection

1. Start Point: Right-click a compatible block (such as a fence or wall) while holding a Chain or Lead.
2. End Point: Move to another compatible block and right-click it to complete the connection.
3. Visual Feedback: A sagging chain will appear between the two points. The amount of sag (drip) is determined by the distance and configuration settings.

Interaction and Removal

• Sneak-Placing: To place a chain as a standard vanilla block without triggering the connection mechanic, the player must Sneak while right-clicking.
• Breaking Chains: Connected chains can be broken by attacking them with Shears.
• Collision: Chains have physical hitboxes. If a chain becomes invisible or glitched, players can press F3+B to view entity hitboxes and remove them manually with shears.
• Oxidation: In versions 1.21.9 and above, copper chains used for connections will naturally oxidize over time, matching the behavior of vanilla copper blocks.

Items and Blocks
