Mob Capturing Tool
by Matyrobbrt
Mob Capturing Tool lets players catch mobs with a single added item, and its configuration file controls which mobs can be captured.
What it does
The mod adds one item for capturing mobs and nothing else, which keeps it small in scope. A configuration file named mobcapturingtool.json is created in the loader's config folder, usually config. Server owners can list which mobs cannot be captured, and dispensers are able to use the capturing item as well. The configuration is server-side and is reloaded at runtime. Mob Capturing Tool needs both the server and every player to run it, and it is open source under the MIT License. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 1.18.2 – 1.21.1.
Key features
Single capturing item
One item is added, used to take a mob out of the world and keep it as an item.
Mob exclusion list
Server owners can name the mobs that shouldn't be captured, using the mod's config file.
Dispenser support
Dispensers can also use the capturing item, so capturing can be automated with redstone.

This is a very minimal mod adding only one item: a Mob Capturing Tool. In order to capture a mob right click it with a capturing tool, and in order to release the mob right click the capturing tool on a block.
