Golden Bond Chain

Quickstart

1. Craft the Golden Bond Chain item at a crafting table (recipe below).
2. Hold the item and aim at a mob or entity, then right-click (Use) to link it as the first tether end — you'll see a confirmation message.
3. Aim at a second entity and right-click again to complete the tether. A shimmering golden particle chain will appear between the two entities.
4. To remove a tether, right-click the same two entities again in sequence, or use Shears on a tethered entity.

Overview

Golden Bond Chain adds a custom tether tool that links two entities together with a visible, shimmering golden particle effect. When the tethered pair drifts more than 10 blocks apart, they are pulled back toward each other. The golden particle chain glows between them for as long as the tether is active, giving you a clear visual indicator of every active link.

How To Use

Creating a Tether

1. Hold the Golden Bond Chain.
2. Aim at the first entity (mob, player, etc.) within ~6 blocks and right-click. You'll receive a message confirming the first end is linked.
3. Aim at a second, different entity and right-click to complete the tether.
4. A golden particle chain will appear between the two entities, and they will be pulled together if they exceed 10 blocks apart.

Removing a Tether

• Re-link: Aim at both tethered entities in sequence with the Golden Bond Chain and right-click each. The tether will be toggled off.
• Shears: Right-click a tethered entity while holding Shears to snap its golden chain. You can also right-click with shears while not targeting a specific entity to cut any tether you yourself are bound by.

Cancelling Mid-Link

If you have selected a first entity but want to abort, right-click while not aiming at any entity to cancel the pending tether.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Visible particle tether: An active tether displays a shimmering golden particle line between the two linked entities for as long as the link exists.
• 10-block pull limit: If tethered entities move more than 10 blocks apart, a pull force draws them back toward each other every tick.
• Tether breaks automatically if either linked entity becomes invalid (e.g., dies or is removed).
• Shears break the chain: Using shears on a tethered entity (or yourself if you are tethered) severs the link instantly.
• The item has a short 0.5-second cooldown between uses to prevent accidental double-clicks.

Crafting And Obtaining

The Golden Bond Chain is crafted at a crafting table using two gold ingots and one chain arranged vertically:

It can also be repaired in an anvil using gold ingots or chains, restoring 50 durability per material used.

Progression And Strategy

• Animal herding: Tether two animals together to keep a pair from wandering apart while you build or explore nearby.
• Mob control: Link mobs to anchor them within a zone — if they roam too far, the tether pulls them back automatically.
• Multiple tethers: You can create as many tether links as you like; each pair is tracked independently.
• Durability management: The Golden Bond Chain has 250 uses. Keep gold ingots or spare chains on hand to repair it at an anvil before it breaks.
