Assorted Pokeball

A right-click throw sends the ball toward the target, and the first mob it hits goes inside. A caught mob stays exactly as it was when captured, so its health, name and color carry over when it is let out again. Throwing a full ball on the ground releases the mob at that point, and an empty ball that misses lands back on the ground, where it can be picked up and reused. The ball does not wear out, so the same item can catch and release mobs many times. Catching a mob does not tame it, and a hostile mob released from a ball stays hostile and keeps its memory of the player, so it should be handled with care. The mod works on animals, players and even the Ender Dragon.

The mod is useful for moving animals or pets along a trip, bringing a mob to a place it would never reach on its own, or walking a companion without leading it by hand. Assorted Lib is required, as is Fabric API on the Fabric loader. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is published for Fabric and NeoForge for 26.2.
