Mob Wrangler

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

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.

❗I RECOMMEND USING THE DATAPACK VERSION FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCE

Mob Wrangler 🤠

Minecraft needs more mount options! This datapack allows you to ride many more mobs and some even have special abilities.

🐻‍❄️FEATURES:

🐸SUPPORTED MOBS:

🤔HOW TO USE:

Attach a fishing bobber from a Wrangler Rod on one of the supported mobs and pull it in to ride it! You have to get the mob close enough (1-2 blocks distance) to get on. Be careful with hostile mobs, but if you do manage to ride it it will no longer be aggressive towards players.

Wrangler Rod Recipe

📯SPECIAL ABILITIES:

Ravager:

Goat:

Frog:

Phantom:

Ghast:

Spider & Cave Spider:

Turtle:

Any mobs that don't have a specific ability with the goat horn will jump when you toot it.

🎨CUSTOMIZATION:

You can very easily allow more mobs to be ridden, the datapack is made in a way that it works on basically any mob, these are just the only ones I set it to work with. To change that you need to go into the datapack zip file, then go data/mobwrangler/tags/entity_type and there you will find some files.

Add a mob by adding its name to the end of the text, like "minecraft:bat". Add a comma to the one before it. The "rideable" file contains all the mobs that can be ridden, if you want the mob to also have a special ability like swimming underwater, flying or climbing then add it to those files as well. Example for how to add a mob support

❌UNINSTALLATION:

If you don't end up liking the pack it should be fine to just remove it, there isn't anything that can break, however mobs changed by it will still be affected. Ravagers will stay pacified

INCOMPATIBILITIES:

This pack uses teams to make hostile mobs you're riding not attack players, so if anything you have uses teams as well its possible things could get messy.

❕SUMMARY:

This datapack gives a lot more options for mounts, some being just for fun and some being useful situationally! Phantoms are great for exploring, turtles are good for underwater, zoglins are just cool... ;D If you have any questions, issues or suggestions you can DM me on Discord @Gurkis
