Mob Pouches
by OfficePigeon
Mob Pouches lets players capture non-aquatic mobs in a pouch item and carry them to another place, using the mod's own pouching rules.
What it does
Pouches carry mobs in a way similar to bucketed fish, so a captured mob can be released again elsewhere. Which mobs can be pouched is decided by the wich:pouchable entity tag, which covers non-aquatic vanilla mobs and a number of modded ones. Entities listed under the wich:never pouchable tag cannot be pouched regardless of game rules, and baby mobs, including small slimes, follow the allowPouchingBabyMobs gamerule before 1.21.11. The allowPouchingAllMobs gamerule, false by default before 1.21.11, controls whether every mob can be pouched.
Mob Pouches requires Fabric API. Pouching a mob does not let a player lift it up, and the mob shakes off any riders when it is taken into a pouch. Support for other mods' mobs needs a datapack or mod that adds them to the wich:pouchable tag first. The mod is distributed for Fabric only, for 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Pouchable mobs
Non-aquatic vanilla mobs can be captured in pouches, and modded mobs join when they are tagged as pouchable.
Baby mob control
A gamerule decides whether baby mobs, including small slimes, can be pouched before 1.21.11.
Tag-based exclusions
Entities under the never pouchable tag stay out of pouches whatever the game rules say.
Rider handling
A pouched mob dismounts any riders, so no player is taken along when a mob is captured.
