Java Edition:Invalid Entity Stack
In the April Fools' snapshot 22w13oneBlockAtATime, entities can be picked up and stacked by the player with a mechanic known as "mob wrestling". This incredibly flexible method allows for nearly any combination of entities to be stacked together in any dimension.
Obtaining
In 22w13oneBlockAtATime, a player picks a mob up after attacking it (left-click by default). The player can pick up another mob while already holding one or more to add it to the bottom of the stack. Once the stack is created, the player can throw the stack with right-click to dismount the stack from the player.
Below are lists of entities that the player can and cannot pick up. Entities that cannot be attacked normally cannot be picked up by the player. All entities that the player can normally attack are able to be picked up, with only a few exceptions. The other entities that cannot be picked up are the horse, donkey, llama, trader llama, wither, and ender dragon (the player will always ride ender dragons instead of picking them up).
