Pick-Em Up!

Pick up players and entities and carry them around, with an arm-raise animation!

Overview

PickEmUp lets players physically pick up mobs and other players and carry them on their heads. Complete with a satisfying arm-raise animation (visible to others).

⚠️ A resource pack must be enabled so that the arm animation can display correctly.

Features

• Pick up any mob or player by sneaking and right-clicking them
• Carried entities are posed in a sitting position while held
• Customizable action bar messages for pickup, drop, and “already carrying” states
• Configurable pickup cooldown to prevent spam
• Blacklist specific entity types (Ender Dragon, Wither, etc. blocked by default)
• Optional permission system to restrict who can carry entities
• Folia supported
