A simple mod with game changing benefits. The Mob Catcher mod allows you to do exactly what it's name suggest: catch mobs. This mod adds two new items into the game, the diamond mob catcher and the netherite mob catcher.

The diamond mob catcher allows you to catch and release passive mobs like villagers, cows, sheep, etc. Can be be crafted by placing a lead in the centre of a 3x3 crafting grid and 4 diamonds in the slots adjacent to the lead.
The netherite mob catcher allows you to catch and release hostile mobs like zombies, creepers, spiders, etc. Can be be crafted by placing a lead in the centre of a 3x3 crafting grid and 4 netherite ingots in the slots adjacent to the lead.

Neither of the mob catchers can capture boss mobs like the ender dragon and the wither.

This mod offers versions for both Forge and Fabric. The download links given below will take you to the official curseforge files page from where you can download your required version of the mod.
