About this Mod
MobCapture Capture & Release Mobs
MobCapture is a small add-on that lets you capture mobs into a portable item and release them later. It is simple to use and craftable with common materials.
How to capture
- Hold a Capture Orb in your hand.
- Throw it at a mob (use / right-click / tap). If the capture succeeds the mob is removed and you will receive a Release Orb.
How to release
- Select the Release Orb in your hotbar.
- Use it (press use / right-click / tap). The stored mob will spawn near you with a short particle effect.
Crafting
Place 1 Ender Pearl in the center of the crafting grid and surround it with 8 Glass. The recipe produces 4 Capture Orbs.
