Fulton Extraction

Tranquilize anything. Strap a balloon to it. Watch it fly to your own offshore Mother Base.

Fulton Extraction brings the Fulton recovery system to Minecraft. Put mobs to sleep with a silenced tranq pistol, or fight with 14 MGSV field guns, and send them into the sky on a Fulton balloon. They arrive at your Mother Base with a codename, and from then on they are your allies. From there you manage them on the iDroid, call your traders over the Codec, and drop them back into the field whenever you need them. Blocks, items and entire builds can be extracted too.

Inspired by Metal Gear Solid V. A single-player fan project, not affiliated with Konami.

• Tranq Pistol: hold right-click to raise and aim, and it fires on its own. It recoils and racks the slide. The dart flies out of the barrel to wherever your crosshair is.
• Syringe darts do no damage. A hit puts the mob to sleep for 30 seconds, and the dart stays pinned in the body where it hit. Miss, and the dart sticks in the block for 10 seconds.
• Real physics ragdolls: a sleeping mob goes limp as its own model, so a pig stays a pig and a sheep keeps its wool colour. Baby mobs and villagers ragdoll properly too.
• Carry them: shift + right-click a sleeping body to pick it up. Carry it to the helicopter to recruit it on the spot.

• 14 field guns from MGSV: 7 handguns, 4 submachine guns and 3 assault rifles, each a full 3D model.
• Hold right-click to raise and aim. Sidearms fire once the sight settles; automatics keep firing while you hold. Every shot kicks the muzzle up.
• The durability bar is the magazine. An empty gun reloads on its own.
• Every gun behaves differently:
  • Pistol and SMG rounds stay in the ragdoll where they hit.
  • The Uragan-5 fires eight metal pellets.
  • The G44 and SVG-76 punch through and leave entry and exit holes.
  • The AM MRS-4 sticks in armour and passes through everything else.
  • The Zorn-KP and Tornado-6 fire 40mm grenades that explode on impact.
  • The Riot SMG's rubber rounds knock mobs out, ready for a Fulton.
  • The Water Pistol does no damage. It hurts blazes and endermen and slows the rest.

• Six calibers, each a real 3D round: 9x19mm, .44 Magnum, 12 gauge, 5.56x45mm, 7.62x39mm and 40mm HE. You see each one fly, stick in blocks, and stay in the body where it hit.

• Fulton Extraction Device: right-click a sleeping mob. The balloon inflates, sways and yanks them into the sky.
• Each recruit arrives at Mother Base with a codename like Angry Alligator or Silent Wolf. Their health, gear and looks are saved.
• Sneak + right-click any block or dropped item to Fulton it as cargo. Chests, barrels, furnaces and spawners keep their contents.
• Hostile recruits stop targeting you. Creepers at Mother Base calm down.
• Allies: every mob you extract follows you and fights your enemies, even a cow or a chicken. They cannot die. At 1 health they ragdoll and the balloon takes them home. They heal for 5 minutes at Mother Base, then you can send them out again. Extracted mobs no longer burn in daylight, and nether mobs you extract no longer change form.

• A custom dimension with a full offshore command platform: helipads, a ringed tower, bridges and an orange steel deck over the sea.
• Recruited monsters and villagers walk their own patrol routes around the deck.
• The animal platform gives every species its own themed pen: hay and troughs for cows, a mud wallow for pigs, a lava basin for striders, snow for polar bears, and more. Fish get a giant glass aquarium, and birds and bees get glass domes.
• The warehouse: every block and item you extract is on display inside, on pallets and in item frames. Sneak + right-click an exhibit to take it back.

Your in-hand command terminal.

• STAFF: search and filter your soldiers (Hostile, Fauna, Other). Inspect any of them as a rotating 3D model, rename them, and mark them for deployment.
• CODEC CALLS: call any extracted villager or wandering trader on their own frequency (140.15 to 140.99). Answer the ring, see their portrait, and trade with them from anywhere in the world. A recruited villager keeps its job forever.
• TRANSPORT UNIT: assign any recruit as your mount. Walk it, swim it, or fly it if it can fly.
• STRUCTURES and STORAGE: browse everything you've extracted, with live 3D previews of whole builds.
• EXTRACT DEPLOYED: one button recalls everything you have out in the field.

• VISIT MOTHER BASE calls a full-size transport helicopter. It comes down from the sky and lands in front of you.
• Climb into the cabin. It lifts off, the screen fades, and you land on the Mother Base helipad.
• The return flight brings you back down from the sky to the exact spot you boarded.

• Glue Gun: squeeze it to mark the corners of a box around any build. There's no size limit.
• Wormhole: right-click the marked build. A fiery portal opens above it, and every block spirals up into the vortex, one by one.
• The build is stored at Mother Base. Rename it, preview it in 3D on the iDroid, and deploy it back anywhere through another wormhole.

• Mark soldiers, crates or structures on the iDroid, then shift + right-click a block to drop them on that spot.
• Stored blocks and items come down in a Diamond Dogs supply crate under a parachute. At the last moment the canopy burns away, the crate slams down, and its walls fall open.

1. Craft a Tranq Pistol, a Fulton Extraction Device and an iDroid (recipes below), or run /fulton give.
2. Shoot a mob with the tranq pistol. It drops into a ragdoll with the dart stuck in it.
3. Right-click the sleeping body with the Fulton device. Up it goes.
4. Open the iDroid, then STAFF. Your new recruit is listed with their codename.
5. VISIT MOTHER BASE, board the helicopter, and go see them on the deck.
6. When you need backup, mark them on the iDroid and shift + right-click the ground to deploy them.

Field guns (shaped; "Iron" is an iron ingot):

Recipes, speeds, durability, cooldowns, sounds and the mob blacklist can all be changed in config/fulton.json.
