Eggify
by SwordfishBE
Eggify converts mobs into spawn eggs when a player throws an egg at them, with a small chance of success on each hit.
What it does
A thrown egg that hits a mob can capture it. A capture happens with a configurable chance, and the captured mob vanishes in a burst of portal-like particles with a sound, then drops its spawn egg. Tropical Fish are excluded from variant preservation on purpose.
Eggify only captures mobs that have a vanilla spawn egg, so a Wither cannot be captured, while the Ender Dragon can because Minecraft provides a vanilla dragon spawn egg. Passive, hostile and boss drop chances are each configurable, and the config file includes inline comments that explain every option. The mod is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, and it runs on the server alone. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, with 2.0.4 for 26.3 as the latest file.
Key features
Chance-based capture
Each egg hit has a configurable chance to convert the struck mob into its spawn egg.
Variant-preserving eggs
Dropped spawn eggs keep identity data such as sheep color, goat type and villager biome and profession.
Craftable Egg Escape
A recipe with 8 diamonds around one egg yields an item that captures mobs on every throw.
Permission nodes
Permission nodes let non-operator players use the capture and held-egg features when LuckPerms is installed.

Use cases
Moving mobs between worlds
Players can collect a mob as a spawn egg and place it again later, with its variant kept.
Server economies and permissions
Server owners can give capture rights to chosen groups through LuckPerms, or leave the features to operators.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want mob capture with configurable chances and permission control. Players join without installing anything, because the mod does not need to be on the client.
How it compares
TurnMobsToEggs is server-side only, uses All rights reserved and is published for 1.21.11, so its source is not open. Missing Eggs runs on the client only, is MIT licensed and covers 1.21.11. Capture Egg is client and server, open source under the MIT License, and built for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, an older range than this mod.
