Description

Capture mobs, bosses, and even other players in glass bottles. Keep a creeper on your shelf, unleash the Wither on a rival’s base, or capture a player at 3 hearts and trade their bottle, stash it in a chest, or put it on display.

Capture mobs and bosses

Capture: Right-click a mob with an empty glass bottle.
Release: Right-click a block with the filled bottle.
Tamed pets: You can only bottle pets you own.

Mobs keep their name, health, gear, and other data. You can also capture the Wither, Ender Dragon, Warden, and Elder Guardian.

Capture players

Get your target down to 3 hearts or less, with no absorption.
Hold an empty glass bottle in your main hand and an ender pearl in your offhand.
Sneak and right-click the target. PvP and team rules still apply.

Captured players keep their inventory and can still chat from their glass cell. They can’t fight, build, or escape, and logging out keeps them bottled.

Whoever holds the bottle can release the player. Player bottles can be stolen, traded, displayed, or stored in chests.

Display bottles

Action	Control
Place a filled bottle	Sneak and right-click the top of a block

With the mod installed on your client, you’ll see a miniature version of the captured mob or player inside the bottle.
