1.14.2 Capture Animals v1.3

[DArkHekRoMaNT 115]

For those who are tired of driving poor hens or sheep for thousands of blocks
The mod adds Cage. The Сage's case is crafting from any metal on the anvil. Add resine to the case - you get an empty cage.

After that, you can find some animal and catch it (chance to catch 10% or less than 10% hp). When you throw a cage into an animal, it can be captured. But if you luck is not on your side, the cage may break with an 25% chance when it enters an animal and it didn't captured. If hp of the animal is below the limit - 100% chance of capture. You can free the animal if you drop the cage again (consumed). Also, to increase the chance of catching an animal, you can add bait to the cage. By default, the following baits are available:

       - All chicken: any grain, chance: 100%, min health: 100%
       - All rabbits: carrot, chance: 100%, min health: 100%
       - All pigs: turnip, chance: 50%, min health: 50%
       - All sheep: cabbage, chance: 50%, min health: 25%
       - All foxes: raw poultry, chance: 25%, min health: 25%
       - All wolf: raw redmeat, chance: 25%, min health: 25%

To add bait, simply craft it with cage. Unfortunately, at the moment the manual does not show recipes if the result of the recipe is an item with custom attributes. But you can see the available lures in the "Used for" of any cage.

To add the bait for a new animal, you need to add something like this to the entity (class: EntityAgent) attributes:

captureanimals: { type: "item", code: "game:grains-*", chance: 0.75, minhealth: 0.5 }

WARNING! At the moment, adding an bait to the animal with the same code and OTHER chance and minhealth will be ignored, because will cause a duplicate recipe name error. Maybe I will fix it, but I have to rework the display on the cage.

Pretty cool, thanks for sharing. I'll try it out!

Idea make having a lure based on the type of animal you want increase chance of getting it? Just idea. Meat for wolf, grains for pigs and chickens, dry grass for sheep, honey or fruits for racoon then you can get them trapped with 50% hp perhaps?

Good idea, I’ll add different baits

[Aledark 21]

I'll try it out. Perhaps hit them with a special weapon that damages them but doesnt kill them too? Like a whip or some other kind to "tame" them...like getting a chicken to 25% hp with a good weapon might be hard and need to hit them with a stick? They have like what 3-4 hp?

For such weak animals, an additional threshold of less than 3 hp is set now.  In new versions, specialized cages will catch "runaway" animals with any hp.

Wow, that's a really cool idea.

Release v1.1
  - Added baits
  - Added baits recipes registration system based on animal attributes (EntityAgent)
  - The size of the Cage entity has been reduced, and the shelvable attribute has been added so that cages can be placed on the shelf (but size is still a problem)
  - Added hover info on cage
  - Cage now do not break when hit in the wall. This error was due to the use of part of the code from EntityTrownStone, Cage’s flight mechanics will be rewritten, as now it is flying weird... as stone
  - Cage now have a chance to break if an attempt to catch an animal is unsuccessful ("breakchance" in cage attributes, default - 25%)
  - Animals are now always caught with some "chance" (default without bait: 10%)
  - Animals are caught 100% if their health percentage is lower than "minhealth"  (default without bait: 10%)
  - Patched vanilla animals to add baits:
       - All chicken: any grain, chance: 100%, min health: 100%
       - All rabbits: carrot, chance: 100%, min health: 100%
       - All pigs: turnip, chance: 75%, min health: 50%
       - All sheep: cabbage, chance: 75%, min health: 50%
       - All foxes: raw poultry, chance: 50%, min health: 50%
       - All wolf: any grain, chance: 50%, min health: 50%

Known Issues:
  - You can't add baits with the same code and different chance and minhealth
  - In the manual you can’t see the recipe for the cell with the bait, because it has custom attributes, but the recipe exists and can be seen through its ingredients

Have you tried running on 1.13?  I do not have the opportunity to update mods yet, but this is not Minecraft, theopetically, it can work on 1.13.

If you have errors at startup, write here or in the Issue on GitHub, this will simplify (and speed up) porting.

I tried. You can't make tools

[Tanisha Buchholz 0]

Tried on the newest version of VS, this mod interferes with the knapping recipes; The knapping window box shows up, but there's no listed options to choose from for the tool heads. (as far as I've tested it)

CaptureAnimals and TemporalMirror are currently not working on 1.13 (API changes need to be fixed).
Recently I had to switch from Linux to Window because of work. And unfortunately the whole IDE remained in Linux and there is actually no normal MonoDevelop for Windows. I want to switch to VSCode, but it takes time to set up which I don't have yet

[Tanisha Buchholz 0]

Ah, no worries. No rush either. I really like the concept of this mod, so I will keep an eye on it for any further updates in the future. Cheers.

[DArkHekRoMaNT 115]

Fixed API changes. This now works on 1.13

Vintage Story version? On 1.13.4 this is tested and should work (as indicated in the mod file name). On VS 1.11 this 100% doesn't work with 1.13.4 version, but maybe 1.12.14 version can work.

If you have version 1.13.4, then try to enable Developer Mode and Error Reporter in the settings, as well as type the command /errorreporter 1 and reload the world. Does anything appear in the reporter window after entering into the world?

I'm playing version 1.13.4. The traps can be found under the forge near the anvil

[Aidan Case 0]

oh it worked for me! i opened the json file and changed the game verison from 1.11 to 1.13.4 and it worked hahaha. dont know how or why but im happy.

Use an anvil for cage's base. For cage with bait simly craft cage and bait.

So the cage breaks if you release the animal? Why? They are way too fragile for the materials they're made of, and too expensive. An ingot lost for sure anyway either you catch the animal or not. That's not worth it..

Are you going to catch all the animals in the world? :D It is unlikely that you will need so many animals that 1 ingot per 1 animal is expensive (imo, it's too cheap, especially since the metal of the cage doesn't matter).

I also wrote the mod for a long time ago, maybe I removed it, but cages definitely dropped out before. 

But you can break an empty cage if you can't catch the animal.  The chance to catch and the chance to break are indicated in the description of the cage, you can also increase the chance of catching a certain animal if you use its bait

This is neat! Thanks for sharing!

Well luckily I found a deep sinkhole crossing like 5 copper veins, so it just solved itself anyway :3
