How it works

Magic Lasso binds a forged Runic tool that ropes creatures. Right-click a creature with the tool, and it is tied to you on an unbreakable lead. The lasso tightens; the creature is yours to lead. (63 left) Each capture spends one charge.

The lead holds through anything. Distance, shears, and an empty-hand click leave it tied. Right-click the creature again with a lasso-bound tool to set it loose. The lasso slips free.

Following you

• A creature more than 8 blocks away is pulled toward you.
• A creature more than 16 blocks away is brought to your side at once.
• The tether lets go if you leave the world or go offline.

The lasso binds only to tools forged on a Runic Anvil.
