Blockmon Capture

Quickstart

1. Craft a few base Poké Balls. Each recipe is shapeless and produces two balls:

   • Poké Ball
   • Blockmon Capture Ball

2. Hold an empty ball and right-click a living Minecraft creature. The ball is thrown toward your crosshair. Players cannot be captured.

3. On a successful capture, the creature disappears and the filled ball returns to your inventory. Right-click the filled ball to release the creature at your location.

4. If the creature breaks free, the ball returns to you so you can try again. A ball that hits a block is also returned in Survival.

5. To experiment without crafting, use:

   • /blockmon give — gives 12 Poké Balls.
   • /blockmon giveall — gives four Poké Balls and four of every specialty ball.
   • /blockmon help — displays the available commands.

You can also choose a themed starter with /blockmon starter.

Overview

Blockmon Capture turns ordinary Minecraft creatures into collectible companions. Throw a Poké Ball at a living, non-player creature, then release the captured creature whenever you want.

A filled ball stores the creature's species rather than its previous individual state. Releasing it creates a fresh creature of that type. Capture Balls are reusable after releasing their contents.

What It Adds

• Throwable Poké Balls and themed specialty balls.
• A visible thrown-ball projectile.
• Capture and release mechanics for living Minecraft creatures.
• Nine generations of three themed starter choices.
• A starter dex and Poké Ball catalog.
• Ball-specific capture odds and situational bonuses.
• A guaranteed-capture Master Ball and Park Ball.
• A Heal Ball that restores a released creature to full health.

Every ball type stacks to 16. The Blockmon Capture Ball and the Poké Ball use the same basic capture rules, but are separate items.

How To Use

Throwing a Ball

1. Put an empty ball in your hand.
2. Aim at a living creature.
3. Right-click to throw.
4. Hit the creature directly with the projectile.

A successful capture places one filled ball in your inventory. The ball's displayed name identifies the captured species, such as a captured cow or zombie.

A failed capture leaves the creature in the world and returns the ball. Capture odds are determined by the ball type and, for some balls, the target's condition or surroundings.

Releasing a Creature

Right-click a filled ball while holding it. The creature is released at your current position, and the ball becomes empty again.

Release creatures in an open area when possible. A released creature is newly spawned, so its previous health, equipment, and other individual state are not preserved.

Choosing a Starter

Use /blockmon starter to see how starter selection works. Then use a generation command, such as:

/blockmon starter gen1

This displays the three choices for that generation. Select one with the complete command, for example:

/blockmon starter gen1 bulbasaur

Your selected starter arrives inside a filled Poké Ball. Each player can choose only one starter.

Commands

Crafting And Obtaining

All ball recipes are shapeless. Most specialty balls are crafted from a Poké Ball plus two additional ingredients. Recipe shortcodes show the complete recipe when opened.

Base Balls

Standard And Specialty Balls

Guaranteed-Capture Balls

The Master Ball and Park Ball capture any valid creature they hit.

Abilities And Mechanics

Capture chances below are the chance used when a ball strikes a valid living creature. A situational ball uses its normal chance when its condition is not met.

Ball bonuses are checked when the projectile hits. For example, use Dive Balls on aquatic creatures, Heavy Balls on high-health creatures, and Quick Balls immediately.

Progression And Strategy

Build A Ball Supply

Start with iron nuggets, redstone, and white wool to produce Poké Balls. Great Balls and Ultra Balls provide increasingly reliable general-purpose capture chances.

For difficult targets, save Master Balls and Park Balls for guaranteed captures. Master Balls require an Ultra Ball, a Nether Star, and a Diamond, while Park Balls require a Safari Ball, an Emerald, and Oak Leaves.

Match The Ball To The Target

• Use Fast Balls against creatures that are actively moving.
• Use Heavy Balls against high-health creatures.
• Use Level Balls or Nest Balls against low-health creatures.
• Use Dive Balls and Net Balls in water.
• Use Dusk Balls when it is dark outside.
• Use Quick Balls as soon as possible after throwing.
• Let a Timer Ball remain in flight when you are not using a Quick Ball.
• Use Heal Balls when you want the released creature restored to full health.

Choose A Starter

The starter roster contains three choices for each of nine generations. The name is thematic; each choice releases as a corresponding Minecraft creature.

Use /blockmon dex in-game to review the complete roster before making your one starter selection.
