Allows you to pick up mobs as items by Shift+right clicking them (crouch+use).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You can place the mob back in the world by using it on the ground, or dropping it (configurable).<\/p>\n
As a bonus, you can also wear them on your head!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
By default, you must have empty hands, and only animals that are smaller than 2×2 blocks can be picked up, but you can configure all of these parameters.<\/p>\n Configuration should match between server and client to avoid visual glitches. Install McQoy for a config GUI.<\/p>\n | Option | TOML name | Description | Type | Default | Note | ### Entity Restriction<\/p>\n Players can never be picked up.<\/p>\n | Value | Description | ## Credits<\/p>\n Inspired by Carry On, Easy Villagers, and some of doctor4t’s mods<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pick up mobs as items.
