The “Gently Holds” mod for Minecraft Pocket Edition (MCPE) allows players to pick up mobs as items, adding an exciting new dimension to gameplay. With customizable options, this mod enhances how you interact with the game’s world.
To pick up mobs, simply Shift + right-click (or crouch + use) on them. You can easily place the mob back into the game environment by dropping it or using it on the ground, depending on your settings. Additionally, for a fun twist, you can wear these mobs as hats!
Usually, you need to have empty hands to pick up mobs, which must also be smaller than 2×2 blocks. However, you can modify these requirements to suit your play style.
