Getting Started

This guide will walk you through the basic process of using RS-MobCages.

With RS-MobCages, you can capture supported mobs, carry them in your inventory, transport them to another location, and release them when you are ready.


The Basic Process

Using a Mob Cage follows a simple process:

  1. Obtain an empty Mob Cage.
  2. Capture a supported mob.
  3. Carry the filled cage to a new location.
  4. Release the mob.
  5. Reuse the empty cage.

Step 1 — Obtain an Empty Mob Cage

Before you can capture a mob, you need an empty Mob Cage.

Make sure you have the cage available in your inventory and place it in your main hand.


Step 2 — Find a Supported Mob

Locate a mob supported by RS-MobCages.

Not every entity can be captured.

For example, players cannot be captured, and protected mobs such as named mobs may also be prevented from being captured.

For a complete list of supported mobs, see:

➡️ Supported Mobs


Step 3 — Capture the Mob

Hold an empty Mob Cage in your main hand.

Use the cage on a supported mob to capture it.

If the capture is successful:

  • The mob is removed from the world.
  • The Mob Cage becomes a filled cage.
  • The captured mob can now be transported in your inventory.

The filled Mob Cage stores the information needed to release the mob later.


Step 4 — Transport the Mob

Once captured, the Mob Cage can be carried in your inventory.

Take the cage wherever you want to move the mob.

This makes it easier to relocate mobs without using leads, boats, minecarts, or other traditional transportation methods.


Step 5 — Release the Mob

When you reach the desired location, use the filled Mob Cage to release the captured mob.

The mob will be recreated in the world.

After the mob has been released, the cage becomes empty and can be used again.

➡️ Releasing Mobs


Important Notes

Named Mobs

RS-MobCages protects named mobs from being accidentally captured.

If a mob has been given a custom name, the plugin may prevent it from being placed inside a Mob Cage.

This helps protect important or decorative mobs from accidental removal.


Players Cannot Be Captured

Mob Cages are intended for supported mobs only.

Players cannot be captured.


Unsupported Mobs

If a mob is not supported, RS-MobCages will not capture it.
