Mob Capture Items allow players to capture various mobs based on specific conditions such as health, size, and item durability. Each Mob Capture Item is tailored for different mob types and gameplay strategies, making them essential tools in mob farming and management.

Mob Capture recipes can be disabled via the configuration, allowing players to exclusively use Mob Capture Cards to collect mobs. This adds an extra layer of customization for server administrators and players who prefer a more streamlined or challenging gameplay experience.

The Enduring Capture Net is a durable and versatile tool for capturing smaller mobs. Designed with moderate durability and size limits, it’s ideal for capturing average-sized mobs in the early to mid-game.

• Max Durability: 64
• Capture Requirements:
  • Required Health: Mob must be at 50% health or below.
  • Max Entity Height: 1.4 blocks
  • Max Entity Width: 0.9 blocks

Tip: Use the Enduring Capture Net for capturing smaller passive or hostile mobs within these size constraints.

The Ironbound Containment Cage offers a strong containment option for larger mobs with a tougher capture requirement. With a moderate durability level, it’s an effective choice for tougher or larger mobs but requires the target to be at low health.

• Item ID: ironbound_containment_cage
• Max Durability: 32
• Capture Requirements:
  • Required Health: Mob must be at 25% health or below.
  • Max Entity Height: 2.0 blocks
  • Max Entity Width: 1.5 blocks

The Mystic Binding Crystal is a powerful and mystical capture item designed for very large or special mobs. It’s ideal for end-game players looking to capture challenging or unique mobs due to its large size allowance and low health requirement.

• Item ID: mystic_binding_crystal
• Max Durability: 32
• Capture Requirements:
  • Required Health: Mob must be at 25% health or below.
  • Max Entity Height: 4.0 blocks
  • Max Entity Width: 3.0 blocks

Tip: The Mystic Binding Crystal is perfect for capturing massive mobs or special boss-like entities. Due to its size limits, it can handle mobs that other capture items cannot.

The Void Binding Chain is a legendary capture tool forged with void energy, designed to subdue the largest and most powerful creatures in existence. This item is tailored for end-game players who need to capture colossal mobs or bosses that surpass ordinary size limits.

• Item ID: void_binding_chain
• Max Durability: 16
• Capture Requirements:
  • Required Health: Mob must be at 10% health or below.
  • Max Entity Height: 6.0 blocks
  • Max Entity Width: 4.0 blocks

Tip: Use the Void Binding Chain strategically to capture massive mobs like the Netherite Monstrosity. Its durability is limited, so plan your captures carefully!

The Creative Mob Catcher is an unlimited-use capture item intended for creative mode or administrative purposes. It bypasses all capture requirements, allowing players to instantly capture any mob without restrictions.

• Item ID: creative_mob_catcher
• Max Durability: Unlimited
• Capture Requirements:
  • Required Health: No health requirement.
  • Max Entity Height: No height limit.
  • Max Entity Width: No width limit.
  • Durability Cost: None

Note: This item is available only in creative mode or through administrative commands and is perfect for map creators or administrators needing to manage mobs freely.

1. Equip the Mob Catcher Item of your choice.
2. Right-click on a mob to attempt capture.
   • The mob’s health and size must meet the item’s requirements.
3. Check Durability: If the item has durability, each capture attempt will consume durability based on the item’s specifications.

The Mob Catcher Configuration file allows players and server administrators to customize various settings for each Mob Catcher. From enabling or disabling specific recipes to fine-tuning capture parameters, this file offers flexibility to suit different gameplay styles.

📁 File Location:
config/easy_mob_farm/mob_catcher.cfg

Each Mob Catcher has its own configurable options, including:

• Allow and Deny Lists:
  Define which mobs can or cannot be captured by specific Mob Catchers.

  • Adding mobs to the AllowList denies all others by default.
  • Mobs on the AllowList can be captured even if they exceed size limits.

  Examples:

  EnduringCaptureNet:AllowList=minecraft:cow,minecraft:sheep,minecraft:chicken
  VoidBindingChain:DenyList=minecraft:endermite,minecraft:ender_dragon,minecraft:wither
  

• Capture Limits:
  Specify maximum size limits for mobs to be captured, including:

  • MaxEntityHeightToCapture
  • MaxEntityWidthToCapture
  • RequiredHealthPercentageToCapture – The minimum health percentage required for capture.

• Durability:
  Each Mob Catcher has a durability value indicating how many uses it has before breaking.
  Example:

  EnduringCaptureNet:MaxDurability=64
  

The Enabled option determines whether the crafting recipe for a Mob Catcher is available.

• Setting Enabled=false disables the recipe for new crafting.

• Existing items are not affected and can still be used, spawned via commands, or accessed in Creative Mode.

  Example:

  EnduringCaptureNet:Enabled=false
  

⚠️ Important Note: Disabling the recipe only prevents new crafting but does not remove the item entirely from the game. This allows flexibility for server admins and players to manage their resources dynamically.
