You can also use the cages as a decoration ... or to imprison these pesky Ravagers!
Nether mobs are no exception, you can also put them inside cages. However, they require different environments!
With Caged Mobs you can also collect dyed wool! Just dye a sheep before you sample it!
Some additional drops from entities can also be collected! No more collecting honey from beehives, milk from cows, or waiting for wither roses!
Over 75 different types of entities can be put inside cages, and many more from all of the supported mods!
Some entities require waterlogged cages, so put the cage underwater! Do not worry, it will not drown.
All recipes can be looked up inside JEI, and that also includes the other supported mods, their mobs, bosses, and environments!
All vanilla bosses can be also imprisoned! Also works with modded bosses! Take that Wither!

🌟 Features

- Upgrade System: Enhance your cages with various upgrades, including Cooking, Lightning, Speed, and Fortune upgrades, to tailor your experience.
- Datapacks & Craft Tweaker Support: For those who want to add their own touch, we offer datapack and CraftTweaker support to introduce new entities and environments.
- JEI, HWYLA, Jade, and The One Probe support for quicker information reading!
🚀 Getting started
1. Begin by crafting one of two types of mob cages: a normal one, for manual harvesting, or a hopping mob cage, which puts drops in the inventory below.
2. Populate the cage with an item that creates the perfect environment for your chosen entity, so they can feel at home … kinda, without being imprisoned of course. Example environments include:
- Hay blocks (animals and neutral mobs),
- Stone blocks (monsters),
- Magma blocks (nether mobs),
- Sand blocks (desert and underwater mobs),
- Snow blocks (cold biome mobs),
- End stone (end mobs), and more (for other environments, look at the JEI recipes)!
3. Use a DNA Sampler to capture your desired entity. Some entities may require stronger samplers!
4. Watch as your entity grows and effortlessly collects its drops.
Finally, enhance your cages with a range of upgrades, including the Cooking Upgrade for automatic cooking of cookable drops, the Lighting Upgrade to collect drops requiring lightning strikes (e.g., mob heads), the Arrow Upgrade for arrow-based entity killing (great for obtaining music discs from Creepers), and Speed and Fortune Upgrades for increased efficiency.
For comprehensive information on supported mobs, environments, sampler requirements, and entity drops, we recommend using the JEI mod!
