Set Up Mob Restrictions and Configuration

Understanding Restriction Options

The mod offers several ways to control which mobs can be picked up. The entity_restriction setting lets you choose broad categories like all animals, only non-monsters, or only tamed pets. You can also set size limits using max_width and max_height to prevent picking up very large creatures.

Using Whitelists and Blacklists

For fine-tuned control, use entity_whitelist to specify mobs that can always be picked up, and entity_blacklist to exclude specific mobs from being captured. These lists override the general restriction setting, giving you precise control over your farm.

Other Useful Settings

Enable empty_hands if you want to require both hands to be empty before grabbing mobs. Toggle spawn_drop to automatically place mobs back in the world if you drop the item from your inventory. The animated setting controls whether mob icons move in your inventory screen.
