"We got rid of the portal gamerule" D:
"Its now on by default" :D

Mass item transportation has never been easier. Need to move 500 shulkers in a day for no particular reason? Light work. Leash 20 chest boars and go on ur way
Absolutely w snapshot

People are gonna go crazy kidnapping villagers

[bonnierobloxrip]

Now make the minecarts leashable or make the chain be able to connect them forming a train!

3:59 Rest in peace Riptide bug, you will be missed...

Leashable boat and the portal change means transporting villager now a bit easier.

[Radar_of_the_Stars]

leashable boats was the main parity issue I had as a Java player, thank you! You can now stop updating the game, it's complete.

[Kirill]

These 3 changes overall provide great synergy and use
Leashable boats
Passenger portals
And ender pearls throw portals all provide synergy with each other and spices up the game in many unique scenarios.

They all have their uses in item transportation, entity transportation, pvp, traps, redstone and pearl hanging. This is absolutely amazing.

[AchyParts]

Also, good that the Mace is still being worked on.

[portalbot]

missed opportunity to call this "1.21 Pre-releash 1"

1.21 - Autocrafter, Leads for Boats, Tuff Block & Copper variants!! - I'm very happy!!

TELEPORTING THROUGH DIMENSIONS IS ACTUALLY HUGE 😮!!

[duckified.]

there are 2 annoying bugs with leashing boats:
1. you can't leash a chest boat with a passenger inside, it just opens the chest inventory
2. breaking a leashed boat causes the lead to disappear

[blakexe]

Yooo the pearl working between dimensions is HUGE. Now we can have cross dimensional ender pearl stasis!

[redthegamer]

Glad the boat leads are no longer a bedrock exclusive.

[RipVanFish]

Having the portals work with passengers is amazing. Please make sure that it works on bedrock as well, that’s a huge parity thing. Also thank you for working on the fire aspect thing. It was a bit… funky… with its implementation previously.

[TheGeladoo]

Oh wow, I didn't realize we were so close to the 1.21 release, that's great!

[GSBarlev]

This is amazing. Leashable boats is one of the only things I miss from Bedrock.



Well, that and the infinite XP furnace bug. But that got patched.

[JochCool]

What a snapshot! It has a boatload of great quality of life changes

[yt_idkmn]

This honestly has a crazy amount of useful bug fixes compared to most pre releases.
