The **Critter Cage** can be used on a [Scoochworm](@critterworks:scoochworm) to trap it, containing it in item form. This includes its length, color, attachments, and everything else that can be expected.

Use the filled cage on a block to release the Scoochworm directly; sneak while placing it to place the filled cage as a block instead.

## Automatic Capture and Release

Place an open cage facing the end of a Scoochworm's route. When the Scoochworm reaches the cage and cannot continue forward, it enters the cage.

Interact with a filled cage to release its Scoochworm. A Redstone signal also releases it when the cage changes from unpowered to powered. The space in front of the cage must be clear.
