About MobsToEggs
From ModrinthA mob catcher where you throw chicken eggs at mobs for a chance to catch them!
Mobs To Eggs gives your server a catchy new feature with players able to catch mobs by throwing a custom projectile (catch capsule) at them. Mobs To Eggs allows for your players to get spawn eggs legitimately.
You can define a catch chance to make it easy or difficult to catch a mobs depending on what you want on your server.
Don’t want players to be able to catch a certain mob? Just toggle the mob off in the config or give players permissions for all mobs except the one.
