About this project

What does Mobs and villager add?

Mobs & Villagers Up!

Transporting animals and villagers has never been easier!

**Mobs & Villagers Up!** allows you to pick up supported creatures, carry their real model in your hands, and safely place them somewhere else.

No spawn eggs, boats, minecarts or complicated transportation systems are required.


Main Features

  • Pick up supported creatures using an empty hand.
  • Carry the creature's real model instead of a spawn egg.
  • See the carried creature in both first-person and third-person view.
  • Carry one creature at a time.
  • Safely place the creature at another location.
  • Prevent placement inside blocked or invalid spaces.
  • Pick up creatures without causing damage, knockback or hurt animations.
  • Preserve important entity data when the creature is placed again.
  • Support animals, villagers, friendly mobs and selected neutral creatures.
  • No additional libraries or dependencies required.

How to Use

  1. Make sure your main hand is empty.
  2. Approach a supported creature.

Placing a Creature

The carried visual model:

  • Has no artificial intelligence
  • Has no collision
  • Cannot receive damage
  • Produces no sounds
  • Does not create a duplicate creature
  • Does not interfere with other entities
