Vmons! - Gotta catch 'em all

Voxelballs come in four tiers, Voxelball, SuperVball, UltraVball and MasterVball, and can be crafted from iron ingots, redstone and a Voxelball. A captured creature turns into an item that can be thrown out again with recall, and the captured mob keeps its saved data. When a capture fails, the mob returns to its place in the world, and the MasterVball is meant to take ordinary mobs reliably.

Bosses resist thrown balls, so a Voxelball trap can be placed beforehand with Shift and right-click on a block. Defeating a boss within 6 blocks of an armed trap captures it, and the boss absorption shows a red, violet and blue beam with particles, sound and screen shake. Weaker balls break and stronger ones bounce off, so the player has to choose the tier with care.

With Cobblemon installed, Pok Balls can capture non-Pokemon mobs and use Cobblemon's own capture animations. The mod also works fully standalone. It is published for Fabric and Forge across six release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, under All rights reserved, and it has to run on both the client and the server.
