Transport Domesticated Creatures
by cesar17klord
Transport Domesticated Creatures lets players capture tamed mobs in a SpiritOrb item so they can be carried to places the animals cannot reach on their own.
What it does
A tamed mob is stored inside a SpiritOrb, an item that keeps the creature and its data until it is released again. Players can use this to bring a pet or mount through caves and other areas where the animal would otherwise be left behind, then continue the journey with the item still in hand.
The mod recognizes tameable creatures from several other mods, including Traditional Taming, and checks ownership through the tame status and owner UUID of each mob. A capture attempt against a creature owned by another player does not work, so one player cannot take another player's animals with an orb.
Installation runs on Forge only, for 1.20.1. Both the client and the server need the mod, and the code is released under the MIT License. The project is not open source, and files exist only for 1.20.1.
Key features
Storing tamed mobs
A SpiritOrb saves a tamed mob so it can be carried in the inventory and released later at another location.
Traveling with companions
Players can bring pets or mounts into areas that are hard to enter, such as caves, without leaving the animal behind.
Support for tameable mods
Creatures added by other mods work with the orbs when they use tameable behavior, including the Traditional Taming mod.
Owner protection
Only the owner of a tamed mob can capture it, so other players cannot take animals with a SpiritOrb.

Use cases
Cave exploration with a mount
A player who wants to explore a cave with a horse or wolf can store the animal in an orb at the entrance and release it inside.
Relocating pets across a world
Pets can be moved from one base to another by capturing them and releasing them where they are needed.
Who it’s for: Players who keep tamed animals and want to bring them into places they could not normally reach, particularly in survival worlds with mods that add tameable creatures. Server owners who run multiplayer games with owned pets will also find the owner check relevant.
