How do I install Creature Capture on my server?

Download the correct version for your Minecraft build, place the .jar file in your plugins folder, restart your server, and it's ready to use. No additional configuration needed unless you want to adjust enchantment rates.

What Minecraft versions does this work on?

Creature Capture supports Minecraft 1.12 through 1.19 and later versions. Download the right version file for your server. There's one build for 1.12 and a single universal build for 1.13+.

How do I give players permission to capture creatures?

Add the permission creaturecapture.capture to your permission plugin. For the /cc command, use creaturecapture.cc . Most servers use LuckPerms or PermissionsEx to manage these.

Can I change the enchantment rate in the enchanting table?

Yes. Edit the config.yml file in the plugins/CreatureCapture folder and change the enchantment chance percentage. The default is 3%. You'll need to restart your server for changes to take effect.

Does this work with SpawnerSilk?

Yes, that's the main use case. Capture creatures with this plugin, then use SpawnerSilk to place the spawn eggs on mob spawners to create custom farming setups.

Creature Capture Plugin 1.18.2, 1.17.1 [Bukkit]

Creature Capture lets you catch any mob you want with a special enchanted bow. When you hit a creature, it turns into a spawn egg of that same type. Pair it with SpawnerSilk to create custom mob spawners from your eggs. Great for building mob farms or keeping your favorite creatures.

How to Get a Capture Bow

Method 1: Enchantment Table

Use a regular enchanting table to get the SilkTouch enchantment on any bow. By default, you have a 3% chance to see it offered, but you can change this in config.yml. Requires the creaturecapture.capture permission.

Method 2: Command

Type /cc in-game to get a capture bow instantly. Requires the creaturecapture.cc permission.
