Catch and Release LIB is a Vintage Story mod by MortalityGames. Catch and Release LIB is a shared library for butterfly, fish, and other creature cages, providing the common systems that make caged animals work.
Why this mod is worth installing
You need it when using Catch and Release: Butterflies, Catch and Release: Fish, or another mod built on its cage framework. It is mainly a dependency rather than a standalone content mod.
What Catch and Release LIB adds
The library supplies shared logic for cages that hold creatures as items and display them as caged entities. It handles capacity, accepted creature items, cage dimensions, offsets, and what happens when a cage is broken.
Caged creatures can use movement and resting animations, configurable speed and turning, and day or night rest behavior. Flying creatures may also find the cage floor when settling down.
For modders, the framework defines the links between cage blocks, creature items, dropped creatures, and spawned caged entities. This lets separate creature mods reuse one consistent cage system instead of implementing it independently.
