Catch them all on your server
CreatureCapture turns mob hunting into a real progression system. Use the Capture Bow to capture creatures, collect their spawn eggs, complete your personal collection, and compete with other players on the server leaderboard.
Perfect for survival servers, collection-based gameplay, custom progression, and for use alongside SpawnerSilk.
Features
- Capture creatures with a special bow enchanted with Silk Touch
- Collection system: every unique creature you capture is permanently recorded
- Player progression: track your completion with /cc collection and /cc stats
- Competitive leaderboard: compare players with /cc top
- Persistent data storage with SQLite
- Automatic migration from the old captures.yml format
- Configurable mob list: enable or disable capture per creature in config.yml
- Configurable bow durability and capture chance
- Spawner interaction support and special Iron Golem egg handling
- Tab completion for commands
How it works
- Get a Capture Bow with /cc get or through the enchantment table
- Shoot a compatible creature with the bow
- If the capture succeeds, the creature is turned into its spawn egg
- The capture is added to the player’s permanent collection
This makes CreatureCapture more than a utility plugin: it adds a real collection and progression loop to your server.
