Portable Pet Sphere
Portable Pet Sphere lets a player capture a tamed creature into a sphere item and carry it around, adding that ability to Forge for 1.20.1.
What it does
Capture works on entities that count as ownable. By default a creature can only be captured by the player who owns it, and foxes can be captured once they trust the player. The behavior is configurable: an entity type tag can list creatures that are always capturable, and another tag can list creatures that can never be captured, even by their owner.
A tooltip on the sphere shows how to use the creature it holds. A navigation override setting lets a captured entity be assigned a path that brings it to its owner, and this option is off unless a server or player turns it on. Because it adds one item and a set of config options, the mod changes little else in the game.
Client and server both need the mod, so the server and every player must install it. It is released under the MIT License, is open source, and is published for Forge only, with version 1.0.1 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. The source code and issue tracker are public.
