Pokeball
With this little datapack you can catch some mobs with Pokeballs.
Quick answer
Which Pokeball release matches 1.21.3?
Pokeball 1.3 targets 1.20.2, 1.20.3, 1.20.4 with datapack. Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional. 1 required mod needs a matching file.
Where it goes
Is Pokeball required on the client, server, or both?
Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional.
The source marks this as usable on both the client and server.
What else does Pokeball 1.3 need?
1.3 on 1.21.3. Every mod below is checked against that same setup.
Install GalLab first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Pokeball add?
Use the Q key (default) to throw a Pokeball.
Throwing a Pokeball is 2 times stronger than throwing a normal item. After landing, the pokeball opens and tries to catch the mob. Then it closes and automatically tries to return to the player.
Don't try to catch the mob while the player is sitting on it!

Crafting

First you need to craft a Pokeball Shell on the crafting table.
