Capture Egg 1.0.0 — Initial Release

The first public release of Capture Egg for Fabric 1.20.1 is now available!

Capture mobs, carry them safely, and release them whenever you need them using a reusable custom egg.

✨ Main Features

• Added the reusable Capture Egg item
• Right-click a living mob with an empty Capture Egg to capture it
• Right-click while holding a filled Capture Egg to release the stored mob
• Each Capture Egg can hold only one mob at a time
• The egg becomes empty and reusable after releasing the mob
• Capture Eggs are non-stackable, keeping every stored mob separate

🐄 Mob Data Preservation

Captured mobs keep their saved entity data when released, including:

• Custom names
• Health
• Villager professions
• Villager trades
• Mob-specific saved data
• Other important NBT information

This means villagers should keep their profession and trading offers after being captured and released.
