Pick-Em Up!
Java resource pack listed for Minecraft 1.21–26.x. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Pick up players and entities and carry them around, with an arm-raise animation!
Overview
PickEmUp lets players physically pick up mobs and other players and carry them on their heads. Complete with a satisfying arm-raise animation (visible to others).
⚠️ A resource pack must be enabled so that the arm animation can display correctly.
Features
- Pick up any mob or player by sneaking and right-clicking them
- Carried entities are posed in a sitting position while held
- Customizable action bar messages for pickup, drop, and "already carrying" states
- Configurable pickup cooldown to prevent spam
- Blacklist specific entity types (Ender Dragon, Wither, etc. blocked by default)
- Optional permission system to restrict who can carry entities
- Folia supported
