Mobs Possession
Have you ever watched a Creeper wander past your base and thought, "I wish I could steer that thing into someone else's garden"? Mobs Possession turns that daydream into a mechanic. This lightweight add-on hands you a Possession Orb, and once that orb touches a mob, the mob becomes yours to command. It is a simple idea executed with surprising depth, and it changes how you explore, fight, and prank your friends on a server.
What Mobs Possession Actually Does
The core loop is refreshingly direct. You obtain a Possession Orb, right-click any mob with it, and from that moment you are driving the creature instead of your own character. Walk a Zombie into a village, glide an Ender Dragon across the sky, or march a small army of Iron Golems toward a friend's castle. Because the add-on hooks into mob behavior rather than replacing it, possessed creatures still react to the world around them, which makes the experience feel less like a scripted cutscene and more like genuine chaos.
The developer describes the project as a work in progress and actively invites feedback, so expect the feature set to grow. Even in its current state, the possession mechanic is stable enough for survival play, creative experimentation, and multiplayer mischief.
How to Install Mobs Possession
Getting started takes only a few minutes, and the process is standard for Minecraft add-ons. If you are wondering how to install it, follow these steps:
- Confirm which Minecraft version you are running and grab the matching build of the add-on. Mobs Possession supports modern Bedrock releases, so check the version list before downloading.
- Download Mobs Possession from the official project page or a trusted add-on catalog. Avoid mirrors that bundle unrelated files.
- Open the downloaded .mcaddon file. Minecraft should import it automatically and confirm that the behavior pack and resource pack were applied.
- Create or edit a world, then enable Mobs Possession under both Behavior Packs and Resource Packs in the world settings.
- Load the world and run the command below to receive your orb.
The Give Command
Type the following into chat, replacing the placeholder with your in-game name:
/give (name) mobpossession:possession_orb
Once the orb lands in your inventory, right-click any mob with it and you will start taking control. There is no crafting recipe to memorize and no complicated setup, which keeps the barrier to entry low for new players.
If you would rather skip manual file handling altogether, the foxygame.net launcher streamlines the whole process: it lists Mobs Possession in its add-on catalog and installs it with a single click, so you never have to worry about mismatched pack folders again.
Gameplay Tips and Possession Ideas
Scouting and Travel
Possessing a flying mob is the fastest way to map a new seed. Take over a Phantom or a Parrot and cruise above the treeline while your real body stays safe underground. When you are done, release control and you snap back to your character exactly where you left it.
Combat and Traps
Because possessed mobs keep their natural AI instincts, you can bait hostile creatures into fights they would normally avoid. Possess a Skeleton, walk it into a Ravager pen, and watch the sparks fly. On PvP servers, nothing unsettles an opponent faster than a Creeper that suddenly knows how to strafe.
Building and Farming
Passive mobs make excellent helpers for tedious tasks. Herd a flock of Sheep into a pen without fences, or nudge wandering Villagers into a trading hall one at a time. It is slower than creative mode, but far more entertaining.
Compatibility and Performance
Mobs Possession is built for the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft and works across recent game versions, including the 1.20 and 1.21 families. Because it relies on behavior pack scripting, it will not run on Java Edition. Performance impact is minimal on most devices, though possessing large numbers of mobs simultaneously on a low-end phone may cause frame drops. Keep your possessed entourage modest and everything runs smoothly.
Final Thoughts
Mobs Possession is one of those add-ons that sounds like a gimmick until you actually try it. Ten minutes in, you will be plotting elaborate schemes involving possessed Creepers and wondering how you ever played without it. The command is short, the orb is easy to obtain, and the possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Grab it, enable it in your world, and see which mob you end up controlling first.
