Jar and Cage

Jar and Cage
Mod	Supplementaries
Items	3

Jar and Cage are blocks added by Supplementaries that capture living mobs and keep them in a container. The cage is a metal block that holds one mob. The jar is a glass block that holds one mob, one cookie or a liquid. A third item, the Boat in a Jar, is a placeable jar that holds a boat. The cage and the jar stack to 16, and the Boat in a Jar stacks to 64.

The pack keeps the default Supplementaries settings for both blocks, so the rules below are the stock rules.

Obtaining

The cage, the jar and the Boat in a Jar are all made by crafting.

Crafting

A cage is made from iron ingots, iron bars and wooden slabs. A jar is made from glass and a wooden slab. A Boat in a Jar is made by combining a jar with any boat in a shapeless recipe. The recipe grids are shown below.

Usage

Cage

A placed cage holds one mob. It emits light level 15 while it holds a mob and light level 0 when it is empty. It can be placed in water, where it becomes waterlogged. Breaking a placed cage that holds a mob returns the cage item with the mob still inside it.

To release a mob, right-click a block with the filled cage item without sneaking. The mob appears at the clicked position and the cage item becomes empty again.

Jar

A placed jar holds one of three things at a time: a mob, a cookie or a liquid.

• A mob can be stored only when the jar holds no liquid and no cookie.
• A cookie can be stored only when the jar holds no liquid and no mob. A cookie is removed by right-clicking the jar with an empty hand.
• A liquid is accepted from bottles, buckets and bowls, up to a capacity of 12 units. It is accepted only while the jar holds no mob and no cookie. A jar holding a luminous liquid emits light at that liquid's luminosity.

Right-clicking a placed jar does not let the player drink or eat from it, because the drink_from_jar setting is off in this pack. A filled jar item cannot be drunk from either.

A filled jar item releases its mob the same way as a cage item: right-click a block with it without sneaking.

Capture rules

A mob is captured when the player right-clicks it while holding an empty cage or jar. If the mob cannot be captured, the item stays empty. These rules apply to both items:

• Tamed mobs: a tameable mob can be captured only when it is tamed and owned by the player. The require_taming setting is on.
• Health: a mob can be captured at any health. The health_threshold setting is 100 percent.
• Blacklist: players, dead mobs, multipart entities and mobs in the capture_blacklist tag cannot be captured.
• Slimes: a slime can be captured only at size 1, the smallest size.
• Persistence: the persistent_mobs setting is off in this pack, so a released mob keeps its normal despawning behaviour.

Each item has its own list of mobs it accepts:

• Cage: vanilla slimes, vexes, bees, frogs, allays, magma cubes, endermites, parrots, rabbits, cats, chickens, armadillos, bats, foxes and ocelots. Baby cows, sheep, pigs and goats are also accepted. Other mods add entries to the list, and those entries apply only while the mod is installed.
• Jar: vanilla slimes, bees, magma cubes, allays and frogs, plus fireflies, pixies and other entries from mods. It also accepts boats and modded fish. Baby rabbits are the only vanilla babies on the list.

Hostile monsters are not captured by the default lists. The allow_all_mobs, cage_all_babies, cage_auto_detect and jar_auto_detect settings are all off in this pack. The configuration describes allow_all_mobs as not meant for survival.

Boat in a Jar

The Boat in a Jar is a placeable block made by combining a jar with any boat. It is a decorative block that displays a boat inside a jar.

Items

• Cage: a metal container for one mob. It accepts the adult mobs and the baby livestock listed above.
• Jar: a glass container for one mob, one cookie or one liquid. It is the only one of the three that holds liquids and cookies.
• Boat in a Jar: a jar that holds a boat, crafted from a jar and any boat.
