Research direction

Reproduce the issue with WorldGuard 7.0.14 on Paper 1.21.8 using the listed four steps, then trace WorldGuard’s interaction-protection handling for leashed mobs. Done means a player cannot un-leash an animal inside a protected region or cause the lead to drop, while the existing behavior outside the region remains unchanged.

Bug Description

The title says it all really. If an animal (such as a horse) is leashed to a fence post (all in a WG region), a player can un-leash the animal by right-clicking it while holding a lead.

Expected Behavior

The player should not be able to un-leash the animal.

Reproduction Steps
  1. Create a WG region.
  2. Spawn a leashable animal and leash it to a fence post (all inside the WG region).
  3. Have a player hold a lead and right-click the leashed animal.
  4. Observe as the animal becomes un-leashed, and the lead item is dropped to the ground beside the animal.
