Cages to Catch and Transport Mobs

Minecraft survival implies not only collecting resources, fighting bosses and undead, or visiting other dimensions all the time, but also exploring new locations, breeding and taming animals. For example, you’ll have to spend a lot of time to bring home an ocelot, a dog, a panda, sheep and cows to breed them later. Indeed, it really takes long hours, and if the player is far away from the biome where animals live, then they have to use portals to the Nether or workarounds to cut the distance. In this article, we’ll tell you about the Portable Mobs add-on, which allows you to put mobs in cages and quickly transfer them to other locations.

The Portable Mobs mod adds 2 cages to Minecraft, allowing you to catch and transport different mobs to any distance. The only difference between the items is functional features, and you need to read our article to the end to clearly understand all the differences. Here, we’ve done our best to tell you and show how the entire system generally works, what its main «features» are, and what’s the best way to catch mobs in the game to transfer them to other biomes and even dimensions in the future. After all, it would probably be great to bring a Ghast or an Ifrit into the regular world and lock somewhere indoors, right?

After installing Portable Mobs In Minecraft, you get 2 new cages: basic and advanced:

· Basic cage can be used to transport a single mob and immediately disappears after you release the creature into the wild;

· Advanced cage allows you to infinitely catch and release mobs in the game world, and it doesn’t matter what creature is sitting inside.

To craft the basic cage, you’ll need iron bars, a chest and sticks. But to make its advanced version, you’ll need to add obsidian with iron bars to the standard cage. As a result, crafting isn’t particularly expensive; however, if the player decides to carry mobs at the initial star of survival, then he needs to stock up on basic cages or look for obsidian to make an infinite construction. The are much more profitable and convenient. You can’t put these items anywhere: the entire process requires the quick access cells in the character panel.

To catch an animal, you need to approach it and right-click, holding the cage in your hands. Upon doing it, the creature will be taken inside immediately. Then, you can move around the game world, teleport to different dimensions, put all the cages in boxes, store them for a long time without using them. As soon as you decide to release the mob, just take the cage, put it in the active slot, and right-click again to release it! That’s it! If it was a basic design, then the item will break after the first use, and if you have the advanced version, you can keep catching mobs infinitely.

Over time, the player accumulates a huge number of cages, especially if the character just catches an animal and throws it into an inventory or chest. To understand who’s «sitting inside», you need to hover the cursor over this cage. A pop-up notification will immediately appear, and you can check all the details. In general, it’s a convenient system that gives you an idea of who is inside; otherwise the player can accidentally release, for example, a Ghast or an Ifrit inside the house, which will ruin everything around. Now let’s talk about how to use Portable Mobs effectively:

· To catch animals. First of all, you’ll use this mod to quickly catch sheep and cows, so that you can breed them and get skin, meat, wool and other types of drop;

· To search and transport mobs for taming. For example, you need to tame an ocelot in the jungle, or a dog, or a parrot. Why lead an animal when you can just put it in a cage and then release it anywhere;

· To build farms. For example, sometimes you need to catch several creatures to add spawn to another world. This system works for Shulkers: you can bring 1-2 creatures to the regular world to make a farm, with which Portable Mobs will also help you;

· To make traps. You can use Ifrits, Ghasts, Piglins, and other mobs to protect your building, and you just need to catch such creatures once and trasport them to hidden locations in your house. As soon as players get there, mobs will attack them;

· To sell mobs. Not every player can go to the Nether or End to catch a creature there. And if you are a «mob hunter», you can make money on your skill on Minecraft servers by offering different services to other users;

· As an alternative to fighting mobs. For example, a player went to a bastion to collect valuable resources, but numerous Piglins and other defenders doesn’t allow him to do it quickly. So why fight them when you can take the cages and quickly throw them all into your inventory? As a result, you kill two birds with one stone.

The opportunities of the Portable Mobs mod are really extensive, even though it adds only 2 items to Minecraft. This is a unique feature that will be useful in any biome and dimension. If you want to explore other dungeons from third-party add-ons, then Portable Mobs is a must-have. Collect your mob collections, sell them, hunt the most fierce and evil mobs, build indoor zoos, collect creatures, and enjoy the new gameplay in Minecraft.
