About this project
What does Capture-Balls add?

Capture balls is a mod that allows players to capture entitys by hitting them with a legally distinct ball by hitting mobs. You can even capture entitys that you cant hit using throw balls. (Even Falling blocks!)
This mod contains 5+ diffrent capture balls.
and 10+ custom blocks to help the player capture more entitys.
Have fun making collections of mobs from your favorite mobs.
This mod does not save NBT tags, it spawns in a new copy of the entity captures. using this on pets will result on the pets NBT being deleted.
Using this mod could bug out/break some mods.
