IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE
Please remove previous config/capsule.cfg file when upgrading from versions 3.1 or older so that it regenerates. Incompatible blocks get blacklisted to prevent any loss: you want this file to be up-to-date.
See https://github.com/Lythom/capsule/wiki/Known-incompatibilities for more details.
Biggest Features
- Move you base! An entire base packed in a 31x31x31 can be moved entirely including machines. You can be a real traveler now.
- Build faster with blueprints! Blueprint capsules can take materials from chests or other inventories to duplicate a structure. It supports rotation and mirror.
- Modpack making options, so that player can be rewarded with ready to deploy structures or loot them in chests.
- A ton of possibilities ! Capsules can be used as early backpack moving a chest, as portable ladder, to deploy protecting walls to recover during a fight, to move machines or multiblocks, and more… unleash your creativity !
Getting started
The first capsule you will have access to is made of wood. It's size is 1x1x1 which enables the "instant mode".
"Wooden capsule" recipe
It means you can capture any block (ie. a chest or a crafting table) by right clicking it, then deploy and undeploy it instantly by right clicking again with the capsule in hand.
If right click open a GUI, try to capture from a distance or while sneaking.
Getting bigger
To get to the big things, you first need a capture base. This is where you can initialize a capsule with it's first content. You'll be able to capture the region on top of it.
"Capture Base" recipe
Then you need an empty capsule (the top item is a stone button) :
"Iron Empty Capsule" recipe, default capture size : 3x3x3
"Gold Empty Capsule" recipe, default capture size : 5x5x5
"Diamond Empty Capsule" recipe, default capture size : 7x7x7
Obsidian (9x9x9) and Emerald (11x11x11) capsules also exists, check JEI !
Empty Capsule
Throw it near the capture base !
- Right click : activate
- Right click while activated : throw the capsule.
- Once the content is captured, the capsule can be deployed or undeployed at will.
Initial capture
Note that all the capsule can be dyed (affect the base color) and labeled (sneak + right click).
Linked capsule
- Deploy : Right click once to activate, right click again to throw at the preview positions (are ahead not aiming a block).
- Undeploy : Right click the "Deployed" capsule and the content will be stored again into the capsule, whereever it currently is.
- Label : Sneak + Right click to open the label editing screen.
Deploy / undeploy

Hello,
From what I have seen in the comments this mod is still active, and I have a request. As it stands I am building a 1.7.10 pack with Dragon Block C and various other tech mods. My hopes was to be able to have this mod in the pack given it's main theme is dragon ball. Is there anyway you might backport to 1.7.10, or is there another modder that has done something similar for that version.
Thank you for your time.

Hi! Capsule now rely on structure blocks mechanics, so I'll only maintain 1.10+ versions.
One nice QoL suggestion: when capturing or deploying, have a good deal of white smoke particles, and maybe a DBZ-esque sound effect, to make it much more immersive.
In reply to Drakonas_Last_Dovahkiin:
white smoke particules scale with capsule size, try with bigger capsules :D As for the sound it's pretty quiet right now but I'm afraid a bigger sound would make it annoying to deploy/undeploy frequently.
Thanks your your suggestion, will consider them !
In reply to Lythom:
Yeah, maybe 10-15% louder would be ideal, or whatever works. You're welcome, always willing to drop a suggestion or two. Just a big fan of the show, and love this. It'll partner up well with DBC if Jin's brother Ben ever decides to move it up to recent versions.

I keep getting "A technical error occurred while using the Capsule Mod. Please check the server logs." whenever i try using blueprint capsules found in the world. I'm playing in Single Player.

Hi ! i've seen your message on discord, let's figure this out on discord instead it'll be more handy to communicate. :)

I may just be blind but is there a way to rotate structures in capsules?
In reply to yomammabe1n1k0l3:
Short answer: sometimes, with left click during preview !
Long answer: Rotation works as long as there is no modded tilentity (machine) in the capsule by left clicking while the preview is displayed.
This limitation is becaused some modded tileentites are oriented and capsule can't know for sure if specific stuff is need to rotate them (or if they can be rotated at all !).
Blueprint capsules can always rotate because they are limited to a whitelisted subset of blocks the modpacker or I have tested.
When the capsule can rotate, it is specified in the item description.
Have fun!
can you please include tinkers
In reply to killershel11:
Hi ! What do you mean by "include tinkers" ? Unless a recent update broke that, I used to move my smeltry and stuff using capsules in 1.12.
In reply to Lythom:
I think he means like compat with TiC metals and minerals. Also, can you add compat with Silent's Gems?
