About this project
What does Longer Following Time add?

Now animals, such as cows, sheep, pigs or other animals that can be fed will follow you even after switching the item in your hand, for a configurable amount of time (in case you need to fight off an enemy or use a certain item to open a door, etc.
Of course, the time is configurable, although by default it will be 4 seconds.
That is, if you have in your hand, for example, wheat, and you change it for a sword, the cows will follow you for 4 seconds. When the time passes, the cows will stop following you.
This will be easy to modify in the configuration file.

Have you ever happened that you are moving your cows and you have to open a door, or you are attacked by a zombie? Don't worry, because now you will have a few seconds, in which you can change your hand item, and the animals will follow you wherever you go.
It's as if they have a memory! In addition, the time is completely configurable, although by default, we have only set 4 seconds, which is a reasonable time and will save you a lot of trouble.
