MobCrafter – Turn your block creations into controllable units

MobCrafter is a Minecraft Forge mod that lets you
turn block-built structures into controllable units.


Build structures using normal blocks, capture them, and command them
like an RTS-style army inside Minecraft.

No modeling tools. No external editors.
Just build → capture → summon → command.

What makes MobCrafter unique?

Most mods add new mobs.
MobCrafter lets you create your own units using blocks.

You can:

Build any structure using vanilla blocks

Capture it as unit data

Summon it as a living entity

Control it with commands and tools

Organize multiple units into squads

Every unit is created by the player.

Unit Sharing Portal

MobCrafter includes no pre-made units by default.
Instead, units are shared through the official portal:

https://mobcrafter.net/
and
Mobcrafter Unit Portal | 3D models for mobcrafter MOD | Patreon

You can:

Download units made by other players

Reuse or modify units

Share your own creations

Discover new designs and ideas

Unit files are stored as JSON and loaded from:

config/mob_crafter/units/


Units can be added without restarting the game.
In multiplayer, server-side units are synced to all players.

How to Use

MobCrafter follows a simple workflow:

Build → Set → Capture → Summon

1. Build a Structure


Build anything you like using normal Minecraft blocks.
The shape, size, and design are entirely up to you.

2. Place a Bone Block

Attach a Bone Block to your structure.
This block acts as the core of the unit and is required for capture.


3. Capture the Structure

Use the Capture Tool on the Bone Block.
The entire connected structure is saved as unit data.

The original structure is not destroyed.


4. Summon the Unit

Once captured, the structure can be summoned as a unit entity.
You can treat it like a controllable living object in the world.
