Pet Net
Scoop your pets into a net and carry them anywhere, safely.
Overview
Tired of your wolf getting stuck on a cactus, your cat walking off a cliff, or your parrot vanishing somewhere along the way?
Pet Net lets you gather nearby pets into a net and let them out whenever you want. Everything comes back exactly as it was — health, wolf armor, name tags — and you can carry them across dimensions.
How to Use
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Right-click a mob | Capture nearby pets |
| Sneak + right-click a block | Capture nearby pets |
| Right-click a block | Open the release menu |
Capturing sweeps everything within a 3 block radius at once, and a single net holds up to 10 pets.
From the release menu you can let out one pet at a time, or release them all at once.
Crafting
5 String + 1 Stick at a crafting table.
What Can Be Netted
Farm animals Cow · Mooshroom · Sheep · Pig · Chicken · Rabbit · Goat
Pets Wolf · Cat · Ocelot · Parrot · Fox (adults only)
For tamed mobs, you can only net the ones you tamed yourself.
Custom mobs built on top of vanilla mobs (cherry wolves and the like) work too — the net checks whether a mob inherits the original's family, not its name.
What Cannot Be Netted
These are excluded on purpose.
Rideable mobs — Horse · Donkey · Mule · Llama · Camel · Strider · Happy Ghast
Being hard to move is part of how these mobs are designed. Boating them across water or walking them home on a lead is the content, and a net shouldn't erase it. On top of that, netting pack mobs would effectively be portable storage — and an item made from a few pieces of string has no business competing with a Shulker Box.
Villager types — Villager · Wandering Trader · Trader Llama · Zombie Villager
Golems and special mobs — Iron Golem · Snow Golem · Allay · NPC · Agent
Excluded by state
- Baby foxes — separating a bred kit from its parents with a lead is the heart of fox content
- Mobs in combat — 10 seconds must pass since their last fight
- Mobs riding something (a parrot on your shoulder, for example)
When a capture fails, the reason is shown on screen, so you'll know right away why a mob wasn't picked up.
Features
- State is preserved — health, taming, name tags, and worn equipment all carry over
- Cross-dimension — take them to the Overworld, Nether, or End
- Duplication-proof — a world-level registry prevents pet duplication through copied nets
- Multilingual — English · Korean · Spanish (Spain / Latin America)
Notes
- Nets don't stack (max stack size 1), so you'll never lose track of which net holds which pets.
- Releasing in a cramped space can fail for lack of room. If that happens the pets stay safely in the net — just try again somewhere more open.
