Mob Lassos FAQ

Each lasso type has its own recipe, which you can find in the crafting menu or by looking up the specific lasso you need (golden, aquatic, diamond, emerald, or hostile). Once crafted, you use the lasso on a mob to capture it into the item.

Most lassos have a timer, and mobs will break free after some time passes. The diamond lasso is the only one without a timer, so use that if you need permanent capture.

No—each lasso is specialized: golden for land animals, aquatic for water animals, diamond for all animals, emerald for villagers only, and hostile for hostile mobs. Use the right lasso for the mob you want.

Use an emerald lasso, but the villager must first accept a contract with you—not all villagers will agree. If they refuse, you cannot capture them with that lasso.

Use a hostile lasso, but the mob must be below 50% health first. Be warned: the mob will continuously bite you while you're carrying the lasso, so prepare for damage.
