Catcher Mob

The mod adds a Mob Catcher, a single reusable tool crafted from string, an ender pearl and a stick. Using it on an eligible mob or item stores the entry inside the net, and the net can later release it at any location. The inventory of the net and the mob's health, custom name, villager trades and cat variant are kept with it, so a captured villager arrives with the same trades and name it had before.

Players can use the tool to move animals, villagers or dropped items across the world instead of building long rail or boat routes. Tooltips and action bar messages state what the net holds and explain why a capture is refused. The net's durability is infinite, so one item can be reused for a whole survival playthrough. Tamed pets owned by other players are protected, and hostile mobs, bosses such as the Ender Dragon and the Wither, and players cannot be caught.

The mod runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.6, and the latest file, 1.0.0, was published on 2026-02-05. Files exist for 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3, 1.20.4, 1.20.5 and 1.20.6.
