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

1.7.10 backport just because of DBC when
Hello i was playing mc eternal and got a castle making kit. i did everything right as was written in the book, i was wondering if i can combine the 5 castle capsule so they can just become a castle straight up instead of having to connect them to each other?
In reply to destroyer2super:
Hello! Capsule cannot be merged as items. You would still have to create a larger capsule that can hold the entiere castle and build the castle manually to then be able to replicate it. Also it would skip the point of the blueprints : have modular "bigger bricks" that can help you build any castle building very quickly, not just one specific layout. The idea is to be creative on how you combine a deploy multiple times the 5 blueprints to create a castle unique to you.
I can't seem to deploy a capsule in the nether. I get an error that says "capsules cant be deployed here. Maybe this area is protected." capsule version 5.0.75 for 1.16.
In reply to ragequitbuddha:
Hello! Capsule respects the permission of place placement and mining. Could you place the blocks manually in any of the blocks in the area or could there is a spawn protection or a permission mod preventing you to place a block?
Juste MERCIIIII !!! <3

Anyone else having issues with the balance options? I removed minecraft:spawner form it, but it ignores this and put it back it. Doesn't matter if I remove it from outside the game or inside through the mod config menu. Once I load(or relaod in case of ingame editing) the game up it adds it back to the config file.
In reply to StarDruid:
Hey! Can you specify the version of capsule you got issues with ? I'll investigate the issue.
In reply to Lythom:
Sorry for some reason my first post made it's own new comment and i can't delete it. 5.0.73 is the version.
In reply to StarDruid:
Thanks! I removed the duplicated answer post.
You can keep track of the issue at https://github.com/Lythom/capsule/issues/55
I had a look and got a fix, should be available soon!
In reply to Lythom:
Cool, Thank you.
Hey ! Haven't tested extensivly but I can say it should move correctly all basic machinery. Contraptions on bearers or pistons will not get captured though and stay in the world, it will leave the bearer/piston empty when undeploying. No crash to expect but there might be blocks with specific behaviours that are not tested yet..
This mod looks lovely, and very intuitive!
I do have a question though, as I did with the Bag of Yurting.. Will it struggle to carry around Create's blocks? I've been really wanting to make a mobile Create base on my server but trying to put it down with the Bag of Yurting will crash the server.
In reply to classica_pierump:
In reply to Lythom:
Okay, thank you!
The specific crash that I was given when it came to my create base (which had quite a few create mechanisms in the form of legs that would extend off of the base and such) was a "Stack Overflow Error", so do you think that Create parts simply have TOO much NBT data to properly function with the Bag of Yurting, or the Capsules for the matter?
Thank you again for answering!
In reply to classica_pierump:
NBT being too big is probably something that can affect the Bag of Yurting since all the data is stored in the item (I didn't know the mod and have been lurking it code base to see how it work hihi, thanks for the discovery!) and the NBT is sync'ed between client and server which can cause packets being too big. For capsule it's not an issue: all the data is stored server-side only inside structure blocks compatible templates, and it's the world block update vanilla code that sync the data (just like when loading a chunk that was not loaded before for example).
That said I think that capsules won't be able to capture what is mounted on the legs, unless the moving part is "docked" in the world.
The best thing to do is backup the world and have a try! Let me know how is goes :D
Can you make this for 1.7.10 so I can use it with the DBC mod
In reply to KenAsumii:
Hello, I won't backport to 1.7.10.
It works for me, but only using vanilla blocks.
So far ive discovered it doesn't work with
Multipage chest, Simple Storage Network, Slab Machines.
Modded blocks don't seem to work period. Any idea why?
