About this Mod
This is a very minimal mod adding only one item: a Mob Capturing Tool.
In order to capture a mob right click it with a capturing tool, and in order to release the mob right click the capturing tool on a block.
Configuring
This mod provides a configuration file (mobcapturingtool.json) found in your loader's config folder (usually, config). You can configure what mobs shouldn't be able to be captured, and if dispensers should be able to capture mods. The configuration is server-side only and can be reloaded at runtime.
