Caged Mobs

Tired of chasing mobs? Make it a breeze with the new Mob Cages! Imprison all those pesky mobs and easily collect their drops! Sounds like fun, right?

Inspired by Bonsai Trees 2 mod (by Davenonymous) and Botany Pots (by DarkhaxDev). Thank you for your inspiration!

🌟 Features

• Effortless Entity Collection: Say goodbye to tedious farming. Caged Mobs offers a smooth and lag-free method to gather drops from your favorite entities!

• Boss Farming: Take on mighty foes like the Wither, Ender Dragon, Warden, and Elder Guardian. Yes, you can now farm bosses!

• Configurability: Modpack makers, we've got you covered. Our server config allows you to blacklist entities, items, and even disable hopping mob cages. Players on slower computers can customize their experience with client config options like disabling particles.

• Endless Entity Variety and Unique Environments: Enjoy access to over 75 entities from vanilla Minecraft and supported mods, complemented by 16 distinct cage environments, each with its own growth modifiers, for boundless possibilities.

• Upgrade System: Enhance your cages with various upgrades, including Cooking, Lightning, Speed, and Fortune upgrades, to tailor your experience.

• Datapacks & Craft Tweaker Support: For those who want to add their own touch, we offer datapack and CraftTweaker support to introduce new entities and environments.

• JEI, HWYLA, Jade, and The One Probe support for quicker information reading!

 

🚀 Getting started

1. Begin by crafting one of two types of mob cages: a normal one, for manual harvesting, or a hopping mob cage, which puts drops in the inventory below.

2. Populate the cage with an item that creates the perfect environment for your chosen entity, so they can feel at home … kinda, without being imprisoned of course. Example environments include:

 - Hay blocks (animals and neutral mobs),

 - Stone blocks (monsters),

 - Magma blocks (nether mobs),

 - Sand blocks (desert and underwater mobs),

 - Snow blocks (cold biome mobs),

 - End stone (end mobs), and more (for other environments, look at the JEI recipes)!

3. Use a DNA Sampler to capture your desired entity. Some entities may require stronger samplers!

4. Watch as your entity grows and effortlessly collects its drops.

Finally, enhance your cages with a range of upgrades, including the Cooking Upgrade for automatic cooking of cookable drops, the Lighting Upgrade to collect drops requiring lightning strikes (e.g., mob heads), the Arrow Upgrade for arrow-based entity killing (great for obtaining music discs from Creepers), and Speed and Fortune Upgrades for increased efficiency.

For comprehensive information on supported mobs, environments, sampler requirements, and entity drops, we recommend using the JEI mod!
