The ankle monitor was a foot item present in the April Fools' snapshot 1.RV-Pre1.
Obtaining
Mob loot
Zombies, zombie villagers and skeletons could spawn with an ankle monitor on their right foot. They had a chance to drop it when killed by the player.
Usage
Ankle monitors were equipped in the boots slot. They could not be taken off in survival mode, similarly to items afflicted with the yet to be added Curse of Binding.
While wearing an ankle monitor during the night (between 12541 and 23458, or 18:30 and 5:30 according to the Smarter Watch), being more than 50 blocks from the player's spawn point afflicted the player with Slowness I for 14 seconds and prompted the following message in chat: "CURFEW WARNING! You are violating your house arrest! Get back by [distance] meters!" The message was displayed again and the effect was reapplied every 10 seconds until the player got back into the 50 block radius.
If in the Nether or the End, the player is afflicted with Slowness I for 14 seconds and a different set of messages was cycled through, which can be seen in the section below. The effect was reapplied and the messages were displayed every 9 seconds.
