About this project
What does Mob - Dex add?
📱 MobDex
MobDex is a handheld device for Minecraft that lets you capture, store and manage living mobs.
You can keep mobs inside your MobDex, inspect them through the catalog, move them into physical cartridges, and release them back into the world whenever you need them.
It also works with living entities added by other mods, so you can use it with much more than just vanilla mobs.
✨ Features
🎯 Capture Mobs
Right-click a living mob with the MobDex to capture it.
MobDex keeps the mob's data when storing it, including things like:
Health
Custom names
Equipment
Villager professions and trades
Baby/adult state
Sheep colors
Other entity NBT data
Modded living entities are supported as well.
🖥️ MobDex Catalog
Open the MobDex interface to see the mobs you've collected.
The catalog includes:
Custom MobDex UI
Multiple mobs per page
Pagination
Grouped view
Capture order view
Mob name
Entity ID
Current health
You can select a mob from the catalog to inspect it without having to release it into the world.
🔮 3D Mob Preview
The catalog includes a live 3D preview of the selected mob.
You can rotate and look at the entity directly inside the MobDex interface, making it easier to identify what you've stored.
💾 Mob Cartridges
Mobs stored in the MobDex can also be turned into physical Mob Cartridges.
Eject a mob from the catalog to create a cartridge.
Then:
Right-click the ground to release the mob.
Put the cartridge back into the MobDex to store it again.
Reinsert cartridges directly from your inventory.
The mob's stored data is preserved when moving between the MobDex and its cartridge.
🔧 Crafting
The MobDex is crafted through several components:
MobDex Plate → MobDex Circuit → MobDex Core → MobDex
This gives the MobDex a small progression instead of making it immediately available at the start of a world.
🧩 Mod Compatibility
MobDex is designed to work with living entities from other mods.
If a mod adds a living entity, MobDex can generally capture and store it as long as it is a supported LivingEntity.
This makes it useful in modpacks with large numbers of different creatures.
📋 Compatibility
Minecraft: 1.21.1
Mod Loaders:
Fabric
Forge
NeoForge
Java: 21
Environment: Client & Server
Multiplayer: Supported
🐛 Feedback & Suggestions
MobDex is still being developed, and I'm planning to keep adding features and improving the system.
If you find a bug, have an idea, or have a suggestion for something you'd like to see added, feel free to leave a comment or create a support post.
Have fun collecting!
