Frequently asked questions

How do I craft a Pokeball?
First, craft a Pokeball Shell using a Crafting Table. Once you have the shell, take it to a Smithing Table and add a Nether Star and a Netherite Ingot to finish the Pokeball.
Why isn't right-clicking throwing the Pokeball?
Pokeballs are thrown using your drop item key (Q by default) instead of right-clicking. Hold the Pokeball in your main hand, aim at the creature you want to capture, and press your drop key.
How far does a Pokeball go when I throw it?
Throwing a Pokeball is 2 times stronger than dropping a normal item. Keep this extra distance in mind when aiming so you do not overshoot the mob.
Do I have to walk over and pick up the Pokeball after throwing it?
No, after the Pokeball lands, opens to attempt the catch, and closes, it automatically tries to return to you. Just stay nearby with a clear line of sight so it does not get blocked by terrain on its way back.
