Take Mobs With You: A New Way to Interact with Creatures
Introducing a unique opportunity for all Minecraft players - now you can easily carry mobs as items! This modification opens up completely new ways of handling game creatures.
To capture a creature, simply hold the Shift key and execute a right mouse click (sneak + use). It's as if the mob freezes in your hands!
Releasing the creature is equally simple: either use the item on the ground, or simply drop it (configurable based on your preferences).
Unexpected Bonus: Mobs as Headwear!
And that's not all! You can use mobs as original headwear. How about walking around the world with a wolf on your head?
Flexible Settings for Personalized Gameplay
The following conditions apply to mob carrying by default:
- Hands must be absolutely empty
- Only creatures no larger than 2x2 blocks can be captured
However, you can freely modify all these parameters to suit your preferences.
