This mod adds a Mob Capturing Device and a Mob Capturing Device Launcher.
The capturing device can be right clicked on most entities to capture them inside, right click again to release them.
The capturing device launcher can be used to capture or release mobs from afar. It has a capturing, and a releasing mode, indicated by the tooltip.
And before you ask, yes it does work on endermen.
While in capturing mode, the launcher will attempt to fire any unused capturing devices that you have. When an entity is struck, it is removed from the world and placed inside if it is valid for capturing. If no entity is found then it drops as an item.
In release mode, the launcher will fire any filled devices from inside the inventory into the world. Whether it hits an entity or a block, it will spawn the mob with all of it's saved data.

This mod is amazing, but most of the modding community is still on 1.12.2, could you possibly make a backport?

I've been testing a mod and encountered a bug: If youre using a Capture Device Launcher to release a captured mob you get two Capture Devices back instead of one. It's actually a Capture Device duplication.
Using the latest version of the mod on minecraft 1.14.4

I am trying to add this to a minecraft server that i am playing with my friend, but it isn't working. It works fine in singleplayer, but its like its not being loaded by the server. I have tried adding it to the 'server mods', but it just makes it so that i can't access the server.
In reply to CrazyCorn1509:
the mod needs to be on both server and client, same versions and configs
Can I make a 3d model for your mod?

I sent you the link to the code in the inbox
In reply to michael_lima_ridrigues:
looks nice in the hand, but terrible as an entity
In reply to tfarecnim:
Do you suggest any changes?
can it catch villagers ?
In reply to ardalan7:
yep, it can capture any living entity in vanilla mc that is not the ender dragon
Found a few bugs while playing this in Survival 1.14.3
First one was when you release a mob from a ball, the empty ball no longer stacks with the other empty balls. The second one is if you right-click on a mob with one of those "previously used" empty balls in hand, both the mob and the ball disappear entirely
In reply to Slycan:
I see, thanks for reporting, I'll fix it shortly
Hello
A chance to get this in 1.12 version please ?
In reply to Finelarme9:
but there's alternatives like enderio, Industrial foregoing, etc. no one wanted to use my mods in 1.12.2 so I'm sticking to 1.14.2+ only unless it's commissioned or needed for a big pack.
For me the launcher doesn't appear to fire anything. When in capture mode and right clicked a capture device just falls to the ground with no mob and then when picked up it just disappears. Also, the capture device will disappear when you try to recapture mobs.

I tried to address this in the 1.1 update, let me know if it still occurs.
