Pocket Tamer Capsule

Quickstart

1. Craft a Pocket Tamer Capsule:

The recipe uses 3 amethyst shards, 1 ender pearl, and 3 white dye. 2. Hold an empty capsule and use it while aiming at a mob. The capsule is thrown. 3. Hit a living mob to capture it. The mob disappears and a filled capsule drops nearby. 4. Pick up the filled capsule. Its tooltip shows the captured mob, and the capsule glows. 5. Throw the filled capsule at a block or another entity to release the mob as your ally. An empty capsule drops when the release is complete. 6. Attack a living target, or let an enemy attack you, while your released ally is within 64 blocks. Nearby allies will assist in combat.

Overview

The Pocket Tamer Capsule is a throwable capture-and-release item. It stores one living mob inside a filled capsule and restores that mob when the capsule is thrown again.

• Empty capsules capture mobs.
• Filled capsules release their stored mob.
• Capsules stack up to 16 when they have matching contents.
• Filled capsules glow and display the captured mob's name.
• Released mobs become persistent, named allies linked to the player who captured them.

How To Use

Capturing a Mob

Hold an empty capsule and press the use button to throw it.

• Hit a living mob to capture it.
• The captured mob is removed from the world and stored in a newly dropped filled capsule.
• The capsule preserves the mob's stored entity data for release.
• Hitting a block without capturing anything drops the capsule back as an empty item.
• The capsule cannot capture itself or another thrown capsule.
• Non-living targets are not captured.

Releasing a Mob

Hold a filled capsule and throw it at a block or entity.

The stored mob appears at the impact location, becomes your ally, and the used capsule returns as an empty capsule. Throwing a filled capsule at another mob releases the stored ally; it does not capture the mob that was hit.

Reading Capsule Contents

A filled capsule:

• Shows Captured: <name> in its tooltip.
• Shows Throw to release as ally!
• Has a visible enchantment-style glint.

An empty capsule shows that it can be thrown at a mob to capture it.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the capsule with:

• Amethyst shards
• An ender pearl
• White dye

You can also obtain it from the Creative inventory by searching for Pocket Tamer Capsule in the Tools category.

Abilities And Mechanics

Loyal Allies

A mob released from a capsule is marked as tamed for its capturing player. It becomes persistent instead of naturally despawning and receives a visible name in the format:

<Original Name> (Tamed)

This works for both hostile mobs and normally passive or friendly mobs. Released mobs can pursue and attack valid targets when ordered to assist.

Combat Assistance

Your nearby pocket-tamed mobs respond when:

• You attack a living target.
• A living target attacks you.

Only owned allies within 64 blocks are commanded to assist. They move toward the target and attack when close enough. Passive mobs released from capsules receive the same basic combat assistance as hostile mobs.

Allies do not attack:

• Their owner.
• Other pocket-tamed mobs.

Damage from a pocket-tamed ally against its owner or another pocket-tamed mob is prevented.

Capturing Players

In multiplayer, an empty capsule can also hit another player.

• The captured player is placed in Spectator mode and watches the player who threw the capsule.
• The thrower receives a filled capsule containing that player's information.
• Throwing the filled capsule releases the player at the impact location.
• The released player returns to Survival mode and regains their own camera.

Progression And Strategy

• Capture a strong or useful mob before entering dangerous areas, then keep it in a filled capsule until needed.
• Release allies near the area where you expect combat; they assist only while within 64 blocks of you.
• Use several capsules to carry different types of allies, but remember that each filled capsule occupies an item slot when its contents differ.
• Capture passive mobs for extra protection—the capsule gives them the ability to participate in combat after release.
• Throw filled capsules at open ground when possible to control where allies appear.
• Keep empty capsules available so you can recapture or transport more mobs after releasing your current allies.
