About this project

What does Absorption Bottles add?

Short description:

The mod adds the ability to absorb hostile mobs, pigs, cows, and chickens into empty glass bottles. Right-click with an empty bottle in your hand, and the nearest suitable mob within a 10-block radius will be absorbed into the bottle. One bottle — one absorption — one filled bottle.

Supported mobs: Creeper, Zombie, Skeleton, Spider, Enderman, Pig, Cow, Chicken.

Mechanics:

Take an empty glass bottle in your main hand.

Right-click.

The system scans a 10-block radius and finds the nearest suitable mob.

Upon successful absorption, the mob disappears with a faint smoke cloud at the point of disappearance and a sucking sound (item.honey_bottle.drink).

The empty bottle is consumed, and a filled bottle with a custom texture corresponding to the absorbed mob is added to your inventory.

Each mob has its own unique bottle design.

Bottles do not stack — only one bottle can occupy a single slot.

If there is no suitable mob within the 10-block radius, the bottle is not consumed.

Soul Flower and Soul Crafting:

Mobs with more than 10 hearts (20 HP) require a special bottle for absorption. For every 5 hearts above 10, you need one Soul.

Soul Flowers can be found in the Nether or in Swamp biomes.

Craft Soul Flowers on a Crafting Table to turn them into regular Souls.

Souls are consumed during the crafting of the bottle. You must craft a special bottle with Souls, and only then can you absorb strong mobs.

What happens to the mob upon absorption:

Upon absorption, the mob completely loses all current NBT data:

Name (CustomName) is not preserved.

Health resets to the default value.

Potion effects are removed.

Armor and held items are not preserved.

Aggression state resets to spawn state.

The mob in the bottle is a clean copy-shell. It behaves as if it has just spawned: no anger, no chase, no memory of interacting with the player.

Usage conditions:

The mod works on any difficulty.

Supported mobs: Creeper, Zombie, Skeleton, Spider, Enderman, Pig, Cow, Chicken.

Mobs with more than 10 hearts (20 HP) require a Soul Bottle for absorption.

Use cases:

Hunting a specific mob: see the right mob — click the bottle, and it's yours. No chasing, no extra moves.

Point clearing: remove unwanted mobs one by one, spending one bottle per mob. Convenient when preparing a construction site or entering caves.

Pranking friends: approach a friend, right-click — and a creeper appears next to him, blowing him up. Surprise effect guaranteed.
