He means he wants to set an NBT tag == to the Entity. There are many details, and here is one;

 (maybe using those NBT tags)

 

You can do this easily in Java, in fact, I do it in my mod;

https://mcreator.net/modification/63126/infused-stones-mod

However, it involves iterations and some events. So, to save my time, I won't show an example or give code unless you are ready! 🥰 Let me know if you want to do it.

like on most mods, you right…

like on most mods, you right click the mob with the net or magic bottle wtv then the mob despawn and you get a tag ID on the item, then you can move the mob to your house and stuff, i know how to do it using 1 new item for each mob, but i got 80 mobs + the vanillas and i want it to work on mobs of any mod.

well in that case nbt tags won't be enough. you will need to make a copy of the captured entity and then despawn it. the copy is a full Entity so you can spawn it somewhere else easily. you can check how vanilla does it when teleporting entities to other dimensions

by editing code. look in net.minecraft.entity.Entity.java starting from line 2437. looks simple enough. of course the entity won't get saved on world shutdown, for that you'll need to save the nbt data of that entity somewhere.

i can make it work but only using 1 element Item for each mob (that would be much more time consuming and plus wont work on other mods, just my own and vanilla mobs)
