MobCages
Minecraft Java mod. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForge
This is an update of a never-released mod I originally made for Minecraft 1.2.5 for a private server. I've recently began playing Minecraft again so I decided to update this mod and release it for everyone.
This mod adds cages which can be used to hold animals, for both transport and storage. Only passive animals can be captured, no hostile mobs.
To cage an animal, right click on it with a Cage in your hand. To free an animal, right-click on the cage with a Cage Opener.
You can also use wrenches/crowbars from the following mods in order to open cages:
- IndustrialCraft 2
- BuildCraft
- Forestry
- Railcraft
- Thermal Expansion
Want another mod's tool to open cages? Shoot me a message!
There may be issues with caging modded animals, since I cannot possibly test all of them. Submit any issues to the issue tracker.
