Solved Aesthetic Leads

I'm unsure of whether or not this is possible.
On here, it looks like it might be, but I'm also unsure of how to properly execute it --
and without further adieu:

Is it possible to have a lead extend from one leash hitch to another leash hitch, i.e. fence post to fence post? I'd like to have the ability to do this for aesthetic purposes, thus I'm wondering if it's possible and how I might go about doing it, if so.

Thanks.

 

Leashes require 1 living insentient entity to exist, so two nonliving entities cannot be leashed directly to eachother.

 

Ah, okay. Thanks for clarification.

 

Technes Even though it does require at least one living entity, you could theoretically spawn an invisible entity where you're wanting it to connect to, thus creating an "aesthetic lead."

 

I found that setting a bat as the leash holder allows you to make a lead/leash connection longer than the default length, without it breaking (not sure if this is possible yet through the leash API). With this in mind, I was able to sort-of replicate what I needed!

From the user end, all I need to do is make sure the end with a bat is placed well under the ground to avoid bat noises and such.

Code:JAVA

//----------/// ROPE ///----------//
if (command.equalsIgnoreCase("rope") && p.isOp())
{
    Location loc = p.getTargetBlock(null, 256).getLocation().add(0, 1, 0);
 
    loc.getBlock().setType(Material.FENCE);
 
    LeashHitch leash = p.getWorld().spawn(loc, LeashHitch.class);
    Minecart minecart = p.getWorld().spawn(p.getLocation(), Minecart.class);
    Bat bat = p.getWorld().spawn(p.getLocation(), Bat.class);
 
    minecart.setPassenger(bat);
 
    bat.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.INVISIBILITY, 100000, 100000));
    bat.setLeashHolder(leash);
}
