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

Is it possible to configure capsule to allow blueprints of Modular Machinery blocks? They turn into capsules just fine and reassemble, but when turning to a blueprint, they all get ignored.
Edit: Ah, found out about the whitelist JSON, perfect!
But, I'm trying to use Crafttweaker to set custom recipes for the blueprints, as the autogenerated defaults are not quite right for the structures. I've added the recipes no problem, but can't remove the existing recipe. Any ideas?
I'm doing: recipes.remove(<capsule:capsule:3>.withTag({sourceInventory: {}, size: 3, structureName: "config/capsule/prefabs/modularmachinery/standard_assembler", display: {color: 3949738}, label: "Standard Assembler"}));
In reply to golrith:
Hey !
Great you found for the whitelist and got it working !
The auto-generated recipes are produced by code during a standard "registerRecipes" forge event, so there is nothing weird in the way they are created and Crafttweaker should be allowed to remove them. I've not used Crafttweaker a lot so I'm not sure I can help a lot on this, but I can suggest you a workaround:
structures placed in `
config/capsule/rewards/` (instead of `config/capsule/prefabs`) can be used in custom recipes and will not generate default prefab. Since you already succeded in adding recipes, you should be able to move your templates into `config/capsule/rewards/` and modify the recipe structureName to use the new path (ie. `config/capsule/rewards/modularmachinery/standard_assembler`). This way your recipe will be there and the default generated prefab recipe will be avoided)Good Luck! Also Feel free to answer back or come by the discord if you need further assistance (https://discordapp.com/invite/wZpBVdr).
TOP NOTCH mod my brother! I center my whole pack around using the starter house. Ty, for all your hard work!
In reply to Chefsword:
I like to hear that! Have fun!
Hmm, is this the mod that seablock: rustic waters uses for its room expansions? I've only seen twitch streams on that modpack and never actually played it so was just curious.
In reply to Terra_McCloud:
Capsule is in the Seablock pack but it's not the mod used for room expansions. It's used to deliver some of the rewards in the quest book (ie. glacidus portal). I don't know what mod allow the room expansions, you could ask on the seablock discord to find out (https://discord.gg/Mjvv9PA).
In reply to Lythom:
Yeah I found out what mod does that, sorry for any confusion!
The mod seablock uses is a mod made specifically for it.
Imagine a capsule block that the player could spend resources on to activate though! Just for modpack devs, just a tiny idea incase players want special purchasable buildings in a specific spot.
Any thoughts on updating this awesome mod to 1.14 ?!
In reply to oubregae:
Yes ! I plan to update to 1.14, but I expect it to take some time so I'll be planning a full time week for this as soon as I can reasonably do so. No promise but I'll try to find that time before the end of the year.
I registered just to say thanks for this cool mod.
In reply to tipo27:
Hey! It's heart-warming, thank you!
Have Fun =)
Can you make it for 1.7.10?
In reply to kid_gucci15:
im sorry but it hurts to say...
1.7.10 is dying...
In reply to kid_gucci15:
Hello,
I'm not gonna make 1.7 version, detailed answer in the FAQ.
Quick question - how do you rotate a captured structure before you deploy it? The only thing I could find was something where left click or sneak-left click would do it, but that doesn't seem to do anything for me.
In reply to KamSolastor:
Hello ! Rotating capsules can be done using left click, mirroring by sneak+left click, it works for all blueprints capsules, and all normal capsule that don't contains modded machines. As soon as the capsule contains a modded machine you won't be able to rotate it anymore. You can check if the capsule can be rotated in the item description, if rotation is enabled the "left click to rotate" will be displayed. You know the capsule rotate by looking at the chat (it displays the current rotation) or if you are previewing the deployment the preview will update when left clicking.
Have fun !
Just wondering, is there anywhere where we can see designs others have made/submitted, in case we'd like to directly drop them into our games as blueprints for loot? I really love the idea of finding some cool capsules in loot but would love for there to be some variety too other than stuff we make on our own - so I was just wondering if you have any available blueprints people have submitted, but haven't put into a new release yet
In reply to KamSolastor:
Hey !
You'll find some documentation to configure your pack on the wiki : https://github.com/Lythom/capsule/wiki/Modpack-making#loots
short is: To add loot, you can drop under config/capsule/loot/<rarity> the nbt or schematic files you want to see spawning in chests.
As for the files themselves, there are a few websites where people post their creations where you can download schematic or nbt files. I don't have personally interesting structures to share that are not already included, I added all the new one I produced in version 3.2.103.
Is there a bigger capsule than 11x11x11? Can't seem to find anything higher or "An entire base packed in a 31x31x31 can be moved entirely including machines."
In reply to Name_VAR:
Hey ! There is an upgrade recipe to increase the size of an empty capsule. You can combine the empty capsule with popped chorus fruits.
All you need is on the wiki => https://github.com/Lythom/capsule/wiki#upgrading
Also you can change the default capsule sizes in the config or cheat an initial capsule using "/capsule giveEmpty 31" command (I often do that when starting a game when I want to focus on exploration). Commands documentation here => https://github.com/Lythom/capsule/wiki/Commands#giveempty
Have fun !
