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.

The recipe for the Mob Capturing Device doesn't work, the recipe for the launcher DOES work tho, could you please fix it? This mod is way too amazing and convenient. Version used was Forge 1.16.4.

Fix for 1.16.3: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtQcWuf_h9UZa0M5A5UQ-sFolUg?e=1NiU9d

There are common simple fixes for older mods - check & understand the type of license chosen for each mod beforehand though, I'm not a lawyer. I'll just post the info here - what you do with it is up to you.
This can fix the following 3 loading errors:
1. incorrect mc version;
2. incorrect forge version (sometimes a newer forge is required which will make other mods fail or will crash the game entirely);
3. requires licence info.
To fix these errors:
1. unzip/decompress the [ModFileName].jar file
2. edit the mods.toml file in the META-INF folder - its a simple text file
3a. replace the mc/forge version with the required version (&/or);
3b. add ONE of the following lines (or edit it to match the mods license info displayed under the "About Project" info in the top right):
license="All rights reserved"
license="Public Domain"
license="MIT"
(etc, including the double quote marks; you may need BOTH steps)
4. save the mods.toml
5. zip/compress the files & folders into a 'zip' format {ie. not arj, rar, arc, etc}
6. rename the [ModFileName].zip file to a [ModFileName].jar file
7. put the new jar file into your mods folder & delete/move/backup the original mod file
8. start mc
It may seem difficult but its not. If you're not used to zip files you may need to make sure that the zip file you created did not include the 'root' or 'parent' folder, but thats a simple fix.
Does anyone else crash their servers?
1.16.3 port?
this work with 1.16.3?
Would you consider making this functional for 1.16.2?
Is their anyway you can make this in 1.12.2? I really would appreciate it

Hi.
First, is wonderful. :)
U will update this to 1.16?
Is a great mod, but I am playing in the new version. :(
can it catch villager
Can we catch Modded mobs ?
In reply to schiavhd:
most modded mobs should be catchable with the exception of things like ender dragon.
This mod is really cool but OP because of the cheap crafting recipe and the fact that all the items in the recipe are farmable. I would suggest making the recipe a little more difficult by adding a non-farmable or difficult to find item like diamonds, obsidian, cobwebs, or something else that would make the mob capturing device a little more difficult. Or maybe add a high chance of missing requiring you to craft a lot more.
In reply to therealredcakes:
Use a datapack or CraftTweaker if you dislike the default recipe.
In reply to therealredcakes:
Funny, I was just thinking the exact opposite over another mod (AnimalNet) that uses the kind of stuff you're suggesting: the biggest net uses diamonds and obsidian, and even the smallest net uses stone for some reason I can't even grasp. It might help balance the effect better but it's immersion-breaking in a way I can't stomach. (High chance of missing sounds frustrating, though I could see setting the miss chance in the configs, and whether an animal who's been missed would run away. I could see making nets into one-use items in the config file, but I see no reason not to let them be string/rope and maybe some slimeballs or tar or something. Diamonds as part of a net recipe are kinda ridiculous.)
In reply to Arkylie:
Maybe it could be some new kind of material like reinforced cobweb or something that could be crafted with cobwebs and iron. At least it makes it more difficult cause you have to find a mine.
I'm having difficulty using a mob capture device on my donkey. Is there something I'm missing? Shift and clicking with the device in hand bring up the mount UI
Have anyone experienced sudden disappearance of your Mob catcher devices?
I craft like 10 and leave them in my inventory and sooner or later I see 9, 8, 6, 4 etc until I reach 1 and then I craft more and again they begin to randomly disappear everytime I close my inventory. I can't even use them.
I'm at the point where I best always carry 1) Some ender Pearls, 2) Iron and 3) A crafting table so anytime I need one I just craft it real quick otherwise they'll just keep on dissapearing :(
Is it just me? I'm using latest forge version as of today and latest 1.15 mob catcher mod version (2.2).
Hey :D I just wanted to say Thank you very much!
My wife, kid and me are grateful with you for making this mod, we now have Pandas in our house and other mobs that were just a pain in the cheeks to transport haha!
You're awesome!
