Use the Q key (default) to throw a Pokeball.

Throwing a Pokeball is 2 times stronger than throwing a normal item. After landing, the pokeball opens and tries to catch the mob. Then it closes and automatically tries to return to the player.

Don't try to catch the mob while the player is sitting on it!

Update #3 : by GalSergey 03/24/2026 2:12:02 amMarch 24 @ 6:12 am UTC

- Added support for versions 1.21.9 - 1.21.11.
- Simplified Pokeball crafting. Crafting on a crafting table now creates a Pokeball.
- The list of mobs available for catch is no longer hardcoded, but is controlled via the pokeball:can_catch entity tag and now includes most passive, peaceful, and hostile mobs.
- Catching a mob no longer checks whether the player has fed it.

You can edit the pokeball:can_catch entity_type tag to change the list of mobs/entities that can be caught.

This only works for mobs that the player can feed or tame, so it will not work for villagers and hostile mobs. But in the next version, I'm going to increase the count of mobs supported for catching.
