Hook an animal with a fishing hook to get a compact item version of that mob! The egg retains all traits of the targeted mob including name, sheep wool color, horse stats, inventory, etc.
Instruction file included. Should be multiplayer compatible but not guaranteed, I haven't been able to test it on a server. I'm open to suggestions for improvements!

(some of the taller mobs including villagers are a bit finicky, casting at their feet or off to the side a bit works best)

Works on:
-Bats
-Chickens
-Cows
-Dolphins
-Donkeys
-Foxes
-Horses
-Llamas
-Mooshrooms
-Mules
-Pandas
-Parrots
-Pigs
-Rabbits
-Sheep
-Skeleton Horses
-Squids
-Turtles
-Villagers
-Zombie Horses
-Zombie Villagers

WILL NOT WORK ON DOGS AND CATS

I downloaded this datapack so i could move my villagers to my iron farm easily, but when i hook a villager nothing happens. Is there some special way you have to catch villages?

Villagers are weirdly tall, so it makes "catching" them a bit finicky. Aiming at their feet or casting off to the side a bit works more consistently

I love this datapack! Leads can be hard to come by, so this really simplifies animal farms. Definitely putting this on my survival world.

is there a chance that you are going to add support for hostile mobs as well?

It'd be very easy, it just seems OP to be able to just get rid of any threat just with a fishing rod

Mobs with inventory (donkeys/mules with chests) are vanishing along with the item when the spawn egg is used. This has happened on both occasions I have tried, once with a donkey, and once with a mule. It might be worth considering to just remove them from the list of mobs that can be caught in this way, as if the funcitonality worked, it would theoretically allow a player to create infinite inventory slots by filling a mule chest with mule spawn eggs with chests filled with spawn eggs ad infinitum.

Sorry I'm not quite understanding, is there an issue when you catch/release a mob with an inventory? It works fine on my end, is there a way I can replicate how it's not working for you?

The infinite inventory thing isn't really intended but there isn't really a way to restrict a player from putting an egg in a mob's inventory before catching it. Removing mules and donkeys specifically wouldn't be too hard and would fix this albeit in sort of a ham-fisted way. I'll think about this some more tomorrow

Yes, I can 'catch' a mule or donkey with a chest, but trying to release it expends the spawn egg without actually spawning the mob, effectively deleting it and the inventory from existence.

Hello again! We've really enjoyed this data-pack so far, but we found another bug. If you hook a sleeping villager it seems to generate eggs from that villager indefinitely.

Just thought I would let you know, villagers reappear where you caught them when getting the egg, and its a bit finicky actually hitting the villagers

Does the position thing happen with other animals and stuff? It'd be weird if it was just villagers.

Yeah, villagers are really tall. I didn't want to make the radius of the bobber too big because it might catch something else by accident, but the bobber goes so high when it hooks them. I may revise this in the future.
Thanks for telling me.

Hi I just tested this on my server, it also happens with animals. No matter how far you go the egg re-spawns the animal in its caught position.

On the image, you seem to have used custom spawn egg textures.
Where can we find more info on this ?
