What Happens When You Convert a Mob

When you successfully convert a mob:

• 💨 Particle effects appear at the mob’s location
• 🔊 Chicken egg sound plays
• 💚 Green success message appears in your action bar
• 🥚 Spawn egg drops at the mob’s location

⚠️ Known Limitations

• Boss mobs (Ender Dragon, Wither) cannot be converted – they don’t have spawn eggs in vanilla Minecraft
• Armor Stands and Item Entities are excluded from conversion
• Requires a Carrot on a Stick as the interaction item (Minecraft limitation for detecting right-clicks)
