Easier Mob Cloning
by Solvanan
Easier Mob Cloning lets a player copy a single mob, including a Villager with its trades, into a custom Spawn Egg with Ctrl + Pick Block.
What it does
Holding Ctrl and middle-clicking an entity queries the server for that mob's full binary NBT data. The mod then builds a custom egg carrying the entity's properties, such as trade offers and trade levels, equipment, health and custom names. Spawning from that egg recreates the mob with its saved state.
The mod is client-side only, so players install it alone and servers need nothing from it. The query itself depends on the server: it requires OP or Creative permissions and the server must run Minecraft's official DataQueryHandler. Creative mode is required to receive the egg, and the mod can switch the player into Creative mode for the process. It is released under the MIT License and published for Fabric, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the only file, dated 2026-07-24.
Easier Mob Cloning targets Minecraft 1.21.11 and uses the minecraft:entity data component architecture that version introduced. Positional data, motion and unique IDs are stripped from the clone so the spawned entity does not interfere with the original.
Key features
Single-mob cloning
Copies one mob into an egg, so a specific animal, zombie or horse can be saved and duplicated later.
Villager trade cloning
Carries over Villager trade offers, including locked offers, restock timers and level progression.
Aim-and-pick workflow
Aim at an entity such as a Villager, Zombie or Horse, then hold Ctrl and middle-click with Pick Block to clone it.
Clean spawned copies
Removes position, motion and unique ID data from the clone, so the duplicate does not clash with the source entity.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric 1.21.11 who want to copy a specific mob, including its trades, into a reusable egg. Server owners should check the OP and Creative permission requirement before players rely on the query.
How it compares
Villager Autotrade is client and server, released under the MIT License and targets 1.21.11, so it covers the same version but works through a different trade setup. Better Villager Pickup is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, published for 1.21.1, so it fits servers on an older version. What you got there? is client-side only, but it is licensed as All rights reserved and covers 1.21.10.
