Allay in a Bottle
by 2mal3
Allay in a Bottle lets players catch an Allay or a Vex in a bottle and carry it to a new place, using a lightweight datapack.
What it does
Catching works with a bottle used on the mob, and releasing the captured mob is done with a right-click on the ground. The first release attempt does not always succeed, so a second try may be needed. The datapack moves Allays and Vexes over longer distances than they would cover on their own, which suits players who want to relocate them between bases or farms.
An automatic minecart mount and automatic note block pairing are included as features of the datapack. Server owners can run the uninstall command aiab:core/uninstall to remove the datapack's changes. The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt. The server needs the mod, but players may leave it out, since installing it on the server alone is enough.
Key features
Bottled Allays
Allays and Vexes can be caught in a bottle and released later at another location.
Automatic minecart mount
Captured mobs can be set to ride in a minecart automatically during transport.
Automatic note block pairing
Note blocks are paired automatically, so the transport setup needs less manual work.
Uninstall command
A run command, aiab:core/uninstall, removes the datapack's changes from a world.
