This plugin lets you pick up mobs from a distance (or up close!) and move them around as you please. Push them closer/further, drag them around, even throw them. You can also grab other players!

To do this, use the Mob Grabber item. Get it with /mbg give, or by crafting it like this:

(If you want to use a custom crafting recipe plugin or whatnot, this crafting recipe can be disabled in the config. yes you can dupe shulker shells but ssshhh)

Once you've got it, you can point at a mob (or player) and right click to pick them up, and they'll be dragged wherever you look. To move them closer/further away from you, hold shift and scroll up or down your hotbar.

You can carry mobs around on your head too! Put the Mob Grabber item into your offhand with the offhand key (default F). While they're on your head, you can also right click to throw them forward! How far you throw them depends on what distance was selected, again you can change this by doing shift + scroll. An orange line will appear when you shift to show roughly where they'll go when you throw them.
Also, if you fling a mob real quick and release at the right time, you can yeet them.

Here's a little video showing off the main features:
