## Turn your block creations into controllable units Build structures, capture them, and command them like an RTS army in Minecraft.

## What is MobCrafter?

MobCrafter is a Forge mod that lets you turn block-built structures into a single controllable unit entity.

Instead of spawning mobs, you create units yourself using blocks — then capture, summon, and command them in the world.

You can: - Build any structure using vanilla blocks - Capture it as unit data - Summon it as a living entity - Control it using commands and tools

No modeling tools. No external editors. Just building.

## Unit Sharing Portal

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

👉 https://mobcrafter.net/ and https://www.patreon.com/c/omro500?vanity=user

You can: - Download community-made unit JSON files - Reuse or modify units for your own worlds - Share your creations with others

Unit files are loaded from: config/mob_crafter/units/

New units can be added at runtime without restarting. In multiplayer, server-side units are synced to all clients.

> MobCrafter is under active development. > Features, balance, and performance may evolve over time.

## How to Use

MobCrafter lets you turn block-built structures into RTS-like units. No modeling tools required — just build, capture, and summon.

### 1. Build a Structure

Build any structure 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 / pivot of the unit and is required for capture.

### 3. Capture the Structure

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

> Capturing does not destroy the original structure.

### 4. Summon the Unit

Once captured, the structure can be summoned as a unit. Consider it a living entity you can control.
