Animal cages is a Vintage Story mod by Gerste and unHallowed. Animal cages adds small and medium cages for capturing, moving, displaying, and releasing creatures in Vintage Story.
Why this mod is worth installing
Useful for players who need to move livestock or other supported creatures without leading them across the world. It also helps organize animals temporarily at a base or farm.
What Animal cages adds
The mod introduces two cage sizes. A small cage is intended for small creatures: equip it and attack the target to capture it. Place the filled cage, then break it to release the animal, or use the interaction button to pick the cage up again.
The medium cage covers a broader range of targets, including small and domesticated animals. Larger or wild creatures generally need to be weakened below half health before they can be captured.
Captured animals retain information about their generation, which makes the cages useful for moving breeding stock and managing animals during farm expansion. The supported entity list can also be adjusted through the mod configuration.
