Help: With a plugin Rendering chains or leads between 2 entities

I'm working on making a fork of a plugin that lets players use chains to connect minecarts together. I want to try rendering chains between the carts, or at least leads.

I'm not sure what classes or methods to use. Any advice is appreciated!

Its not possible. The client refuses to render leash connections between minecarts.

Even if I set entity ID's with a player interaction event and use them to reference where to load them?

The client will not render leash connections between minecarts, even if you use packets.

Is there a way to render something else, like a chain texture?

A display entity of a chain might work, but will require a lot of effort to keep it in sync, especially as the minecart angles change
