Main Features:

  • Death-Proof Storage: Better Mob Catcher binds the souls directly to you. If you die and lose the item, simply craft a new one and all your captured mobs will still be there!
  • Infinite Capacity: You only ever need to craft ONE Mob Catcher. It acts as a digital bank that can hold as many mobs as you want at the same time, saving precious inventory space.
  • Works on Everything: Catch vanilla mobs AND custom mobs from other mods!
  • Tame Friendly: Capturing a tamed wolf, cat, or horse perfectly preserves their NBT data. Your pets will remain tamed to you when released!
  • Custom UI System & Modes: Toggle between Instant Catch and Safe Catch. Safe mode pauses the game and gives you a clean UI to give the mob a custom nametag before capturing it!
  • Multiplayer Compatible: Works flawlessly on multiplayer servers with your friends.

🛠️ How to Use:

Crafting:

Recipe

  • To Catch a Mob: Hold the Mob Catcher in your hand, look directly at the mob, and Right-Click. Make sure you are NOT crouching! (Use Safe Mode to give them a name).
  • To Release a Mob: Crouch (Sneak) + Right-Click the air with the Mob Catcher. A UI menu will pop up showing a list of every mob you've caught. Just click the one you want to release, and they will spawn right in front of you! You can also toggle your capture mode from this menu.

Compatibility:

This mod is built for Forge 1.20.1 and uses standard Forge Event Hooks, making it highly compatible with almost any other mod you have installed.
