About this Mod

Ever wished you could collect your favorite mobs as spawn eggs? With MobCapture, now you can!

Enchant your sword with the special Capturing enchantment and start hunting. Whenever you defeat a mob, there’s a chance it will drop its spawn egg—perfect for building farms or just showing off your collection. The higher your Capturing enchantment, the better your odds!

How the chances work:

  • Base Chance: Scales with your Capturing enchantment level:
    • Level 1: 5%
    • Level 2: 10%
    • Level 3: 15%
  • Difficulty Adjustment: Easier game difficulties increase drop odds, while harder ones reduce them.
  • Mob Type Factor: Hostile mobs have higher drop odds than ambient or passive creatures.
  • Drop Chance Cap: The final chance is always between 0.5% and 20%.

Boss mobs (like the Ender Dragon, Wither, and Elder Guardian) are excluded, so the challenge remains.

Why You’ll Love MobCapture

  • Collect Them All: Gather spawn eggs from almost any mob you defeat.
  • Build & Create: Use spawn eggs for creative builds, farms, or fun experiments.
  • Easy to Use: Just enchant your sword and play as usual!
  • Multilingual: Available in many languages for players around the world.

How to Get Started

  1. Download the mod.
  2. Ensure you have the Fabric API installed.
  3. Place both files in your mods folder.
  4. Launch Minecraft with the Fabric mod loader and start enchanting!
