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

can you please add 1.7.10 version?
i want hoi poi capsules mod with dragon block c
In reply to nixa45q:
Hi! Capsule now rely on structure blocks mechanics, so I'll only maintain 1.10+ 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.
In reply to The_ZX_:
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?
In reply to yymonica:
Hello ! Empty capsules with custom materials can be added in packs using any recipe tweaking mod, but indeed there is no built in recipes for custom materials or additional ores. I might add a few ones with next update I guess.
I do love this mod and wish to see it updated to 1.15.2
any chance of that or releasing the file for someone else to update if you don't want to anymore?
specifically compatible with the twitch mods. the last version of this I see on twitch is 1.12.2
... does it maybe still work? could it be compatible with the newer version of minecraft as is?
In reply to Sukottos:
Hey !
The mod is open source so anyone can take the migration if willing to. If not done yet, it's because it's a bunch of work (took me a full week from 1.9 to 1.10) and I expect a lot of breaking changes. I do plan to get there when I get the motivation and time but I've no ETA, so right now it is limited to 1.12.2. I almost certain it won't work in any newer version of minecraft than 1.12.2 unfortunatly.
In reply to Lythom:
I know this is a late reply but I am starting to play minecraft again. took a break for a while but I really do love this mod and I hope to see it in 1.15.2
you said it's open source... what would be required to make it compatible with the newer version of forge?
I tried loading it despite being for older version of minecraft but the error message I get when launching minecraft was it was for an older version of forge. it didn't say anything about the minecraft version.
my favorite two mods are currently only on 1.12 still.
this mod. LOVE everything about it and the actually additions mod but mostly for the worms. I love getting worms from hoeing the ground and be able to use those worms to irrigate farmland without a water source and the bonus growth rate helps too.
What are the chances of this mod getting updated to a newer version of minecraft? hopefully 1.15.2 but honestly I'm just getting tired of playing on 1.12.2 that's why I took a break and I'm having fun in the current 1.15.2 version of minecraft so I was just wondering.
In reply to Sukottos:
Hey Sukottos ! 1.15 is planned, I'm having a busy life right now but I want to take the time this summer to upgrade to 1.15. I expect a full week time of work to get the migration running (based from previous migration experiences + https://gist.github.com/williewillus/353c872bcf1a6ace9921189f6100d09a). The upgraded version will probably come during august. Also, thanks for your kind words <3 !
Absolutely one of my top 5 favorite mods! Out of curiosity, are there any plans for Fabric or 1.15.2?
Either way, amazing work!
In reply to Zaygh:
Hey !
It's plan to update to 1.14/1.15 on forge but it's a bunch of work (took me a full week from 1.9 to 1.10) and I expect a lot of breaking changes. So i'll do it when I get the motivation and time but I've no ETA. I don't plan a fabric version for the moment.
