Vessel

Redefine mob transportation on your server. Safely catch, store, and release any entity using highly customizable pocket items. A free alternative to SafariNet.

Features

• Create as many different vessel templates as you want. You can give each item its own unique behavior, custom textures, usage restrictions, and specific entity blacklists/whitelists.
• Set up material overrides so a pocket item's type or appearance instantly transforms depending on the exact mob resting inside it (like showing a chicken spawn egg item when a chicken is caught).
• Trigger custom actions like vanilla sounds, particle effects, or commands whenever a player catches or releases an entity; complete with chance mechanics and permission checks.
• Keep your server looking incredibly clean with native MiniMessage styling and full PlaceholderAPI support to display dynamic text.

Prerequisites

This plugin is designed and officially tested for Paper 26.1+ using Java 25. While it might technically run on slightly older Minecraft or Java versions, those aren't officially supported; so if something breaks, you're on your own!

Compatibility

• Nexo (Custom item models)
