    Item

    Description:

    Capture the creatures of Minecraft with a Magical Camera: craft it (or find it in the mod creative tab), then right-click any living mob to store that mob inside a new Captured Photograph item and remove the mob from the world. Each Photograph is named after the captured mob and shows the contained creature in its tooltip, and if your inventory is full the photo will simply drop on the ground. To release a captured mob, right-click the ground with the Photograph and the mob will be spawned back with its stored data; the mod also provides item models, textures, a recipe, and in-game sounds and messages for clear feedback.

    Phantom Snapshot

    Quickstart

    1. Craft the Magical Camera using the recipe below, or grab it from the Tools tab in the Creative inventory.
    2. Hold the Magical Camera and right-click any living mob to capture it — the mob disappears and a Captured Photograph appears in your inventory (or drops at your feet if your inventory is full).
    3. To release the mob, hold the Captured Photograph and right-click any solid block surface. The mob spawns back exactly as it was.

    Overview

    Phantom Snapshot lets you capture any living mob into a photograph, carry it around, and release it wherever you like. Each photograph preserves the mob's full data — health, name, equipment, tamed status, and more — so nothing is lost in transit.


    What It Adds

    ItemStack SizeDescription
    Magical Camera1Used to capture mobs by right-clicking them.
    Captured PhotographUp to 16Holds a single captured mob; named after the creature inside.

    Both items appear in the Tools creative tab.


    How To Use

    Capturing a Mob

    • Hold the Magical Camera and right-click a living mob (players cannot be captured).
    • The mob is removed from the world and a Captured Photograph is created, named "[Mob Name] Photograph" in light purple.
    • A chime sound plays and a message confirms the capture. The camera has a short cooldown (~1 second) between shots.
    • If your inventory is full, the photograph drops on the ground near you.

    Inspecting a Photograph

    • Hover over a Captured Photograph in your inventory to see its tooltip:
      • Contains: the mob's name (shown in aqua).
      • A reminder that right-clicking the ground will release it.

    Releasing a Mob

    • Hold the Captured Photograph and right-click a block surface. The mob spawns on that surface facing the same direction as you.
    • A teleport sound plays and a message confirms the release.
    • The photograph is consumed on use (unless you are in Creative mode).
    • If something goes wrong and the mob cannot spawn, you'll see a message: "The photograph flickers, but nothing appears."

    Abilities And Mechanics

    • Full data preservation — the captured mob retains all its NBT data (name tags, equipment, tame status, age, etc.).
    • New UUID on release — the released mob is treated as a brand-new entity, preventing any ID conflicts.
    • Creative-friendly — the Magical Camera and Captured Photographs are available directly from the Tools creative tab, and releasing a mob in Creative mode does not consume the photograph.
    • Inventory overflow — if your inventory is full when capturing, the photograph automatically drops at your feet so you never lose a capture.

    Progression And Strategy

    • Use the Magical Camera as a mob transport tool — capture animals or villagers at one location and release them exactly where you need them.
    • Photographs stack up to 16, so you can carry a whole menagerie in a single inventory slot.
    • Because mob data is fully preserved, you can capture a fully equipped or named mob and move it safely across your world without losing any progress on it.
    • The 1-second camera cooldown is short, making it easy to quickly capture several mobs in succession.

    House Key adds a craftable House Key item that binds to the first player who right-clicks it and lets that owner lock and unlock doors so only their key can open them. Right-click a door with your bound key to lock it to that key, and sneak-right-click with the matching key to remove the lock; locked doors ignore normal interaction, empty hands, wrong keys, and other players' keys. Keys store their owner on the item stack, door lock ownership is saved with the world (and cleaned up when a locked door is broken), and the item includes a creative tab entry, texture, recipe, and in-game tooltips explaining usage.

    Press Shift+M to open the Super Duper Stuff Menu — a sleek item browser that hides vanilla items and creates alphabetically sorted tabs for each installed mod while still offering smart categories like Building Blocks, Cool Weapons, Tasty Treats, Wacky Mobs, and Magical Stuff; click any item to instantly add a full stack to your inventory, scroll lists with the mouse wheel or the ▲/▼ buttons, and close with ESC or M. The menu now features louder looping shop music and an animated outer glow that pulses in time with the tune around the existing rainbow border for a flashier, beat-driven presentation; the selected tab is highlighted in yellow and empty categories show a helpful message.

    Timber Chainshot adds a craftable Chainshot tool that fells entire trees sideways: use the Chainshot on any log (right-click) to trigger a blade animation with sweep particles and chain/axe sounds, scan connected logs and leaves, remove the upright tree, and rebuild it rotated so the trunk lies on its side away from the clicked face (oversized trees are safely rejected). The Chainshot is obtainable in survival via a shaped recipe using iron ingots, sticks, chains, and a diamond, and appears in the Tools creative tab; it has durability and a cooldown and uses a custom handheld icon and model. This lets you quickly harvest wood in a single, cinematic action while preserving the blocks as a fallen trunk for easy collection and aesthetic landscaping.

    Adds a craftable Fire Alarm Speaker block (recipe uses redstone, iron ingots, and a note block) that you can place from the Redstone creative tab and mine with a pickaxe. The speaker continuously scans a 15-block radius for regular fire, soul fire, and lit campfires; when it detects fire it flips to an active visual state, repeatedly plays alarm-like sounds and note particles, and stays alarming until all nearby fire is out. While alarming it emits full redstone power so you can wire it into lights, doors, or other contraptions for automated warnings and safety systems.

    The PC Link Device is a handheld tool: right-click while holding it to teleport into your private Pocket PC Dimension, arriving on a raised, lit circular arrival platform inside the central quartz hub; use the Return Home Terminal there to return safely to the exact spot, facing, and dimension you came from. The Pocket PC facility has been visually refined into a premium futuristic Pokémon storage center—fully sealed with white stained glass, quartz frames and pillars to remove gaps and void exposure, with flat modern quartz roofs, an open reception-style welcome hub with a floor-integrated PC Core, storage/statistics displays, Return Home and Storage Management terminals, and clear sightlines down the four storage wings and pens—while keeping all storage mechanics, teleportation, layout counts, Cobblemon synchronization, creative tab, and multiplayer behavior unchanged. The PC Link Device item itself functions exactly as before but sports an upgraded high-definition icon with cleaner edges, sharper shading, and more detailed screen and buttons for improved visual clarity.
