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!

- Added support for versions 1.20.5 - 1.21.4.
- Slightly increased mob catch area for easier catching.
- Most mobs can now be caught and this is now controlled by the pokeball:can_catch entity tag.
- Since version 1.21.4, the resource pack is now required for the datapack to work.

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.

Place the zip file in .minecraft/saves/<WorldName>/datapacks
To install the resource pack, make a copy of the archive and place it in the resource pack folder.
