How to Pick Up and Carry Mobs or Players

Picking Up Mobs

Look directly at a mob or another player and press your designated pickup keybind. If successful, you'll grab and carry them. The mob or player will appear in your arms, and you can walk around while holding them. This works with most mobs, though some may have restrictions.

Carrying Players

You can pick up other players in multiplayer worlds using the same method. This is useful for cooperative gameplay, moving injured teammates, or creative roleplay scenarios. The carried player remains visible and can still interact with the world in limited ways.

Putting Down Your Cargo

Press your pickup keybind again to release what you're carrying. The mob or player will be gently placed on the ground in front of you. Be mindful of your surroundings—dropping someone in water or lava will have consequences. This mechanic doesn't interfere with vanilla animations like holding maps or spyglasses.
