New Mob Catcher Upgrades for Sophisticated Backpacks 🎉 Capture mobs directly into your backpack, transport them wherever you want, and release them later from the backpack inventory. Captured mobs occupy storage space based on their size, health, and hostility.

can you add kidnapping players

@goldnwith3ns They are not allowed to be caught but could add feature where they go into a special backpack dimension :)

that would be awesome

I beg of you to let a wither be capturable in a maxed out backpack at LEAST. The troll potential is too good

is there any sort of interaction with hostile mobs? do they behave in the backpack or could they try to get out ? it would be funny to see zombies jump out of my buddy’s pack

Not at the moment. I guess I could add it as config option if time allows

Also how would this interact with stack upgrades, if at all? My initial thought is dividing the slots needed by some number(probably with a size min of some kind)

It doesn't at the moment and honestly having stack upgrades reduce space requirements seems too OP to me but perhaps I could consider mobs stacking to 1 by default and have identical ones stack with stack upgrades.

@AnActualGarnish Could you not just add a max? Like mobs can only stack up to 5 in a stack with the highest tier upgrade?

@AnActualGarnish Potentially yes

@UnbornRavens What if you made it so that with stack upgrades mobs can stack but theres a chance they pop out over like 2 mobs per stack or something. Not very practical but would be incredibly funny seeing ur mate pooping out cows n chickes while hes running around

Me pulling out the 5 wardens I have in my backpack:

My goat cooking up good features time and time again

Me pulling out the Tremorzilla from Alex's Caves I tamed when I encounter another pillager patrol for the 3rd time

Can you move the mobs in your backpack to optimize space?

you will need to release them, make space for them elsewhere and catch them again

Yes! Soon the only mod we will need is the Sophisticated backpacks 😂

This is incredible, without a doubt, the best backpack mod.

so like can u catch a wither or a warden or do they just take too much space

They are not allowed to be caught - bosses are not allowed in general. And with default settings there would be no way they could fit as space required is based on health and they have a lot of it.

wait so how would it work for mobs from other mods? whats the maximum stats a mob can have before it cant get put in it no more

Me pulling out a Warden after getting griefed and living:

no way risk of rain reference

Any compatibility to modded mobs?

They should just work - the upgrade picks up pretty much any mob and the rendering uses standard rendering of entities. So I can’t rule out some exceptions but in general you should expect this to work with any modded mob.

@A_Random_Medjed how does the backpack know what is the size of modded mobs

@A_Random_Medjed Their health, whether they are hostile and size of their bounding box

hell yea

@morangu3t1

What next ? A pocket dimension backpack ? PLZ

I don't see anyone talking about non-mob entities, like boats and minecarts. Are those capturable? (I don't see it being practical but eh)

They are explicitly excluded so no you can't catch them.

When I drop 3 creepers on my friend with 0 warning it's gonna be amazing

THIS IS SO GOOD

If I pick them up with somthing like carry on can I put them in other people's bags

late-game (and i mean LATE.) upgrade that compresses the amount of space mobs take up. i understand why you’re against a warden getting put in the backpack but it *should* be possible.

can i ask what version would this be available??

it is in 1.20.1 and later versions

ooohhhh this is gonna be fun! it would be perfect for my farm

Will this work with modded animals, perchance?

Yes

Me unleashing my 15 Tremorsaurus's (my dog was killed)

can we stack x8 sheep

not exactly stack but you can fit 8 sheep in big enough backpack yes

where can i find the upgrade in survival?

When? And what mc versions?

more than 1 day ago, 1.20.1 and later

This is excellent news! I’ve been leaving my mc phases while I’m at work. So I would have missed the update marker. XD

oh that's baller!

Thank you!

can i kidnap the ender dragon for my own nefarious and evil reasonings (or at least a config)
