Pokeballs

What it is

A pokeball captures a living mob into an item you can carry, trade, or hurl dramatically. Moving animals across the map used to mean boats, leads, and tears. Now it means one clean throw.

How to use it

1. Craft pokeballs — one recipe makes 3 (redstone, iron, ender pearl).
2. Throw one at a mob. Captured!
3. Throw the filled ball anywhere to release the mob right there.

Tips

• Perfect for stocking your farm, moving villagers into trading halls, or gifting a friend a surprise creeper (please don't).
• The ball remembers what's inside — check the item name before you throw it in your living room.
• Forgot how they work mid-game? /pokeballs explains right in chat.
