Bottle Ship
by ForgeStove
With Bottle Ship, a ship built with Valkyrien Skies can be sealed into a bottle item and released later at a chosen spot.
What it does
Bottle Ship adds items that take a ship, placed on Valkyrien Skies 2 physics, and store it inside a bottle that can be carried and moved. Using a bottle on a ship turns it into a Bottle With Ship item, which holds the ship and can be carried in the inventory. The Bottle Without Ship item is the empty counterpart, and the two are used together for the bottling process.
Using a Bottle With Ship item releases the ship at a location the player specifies, so the same vessel can be moved far from where it was bottled. A bottled ship can be teleported far away and then released, and a released ship returns near the player who used the item. Valkyrien Skies is required, and the mod is published for Forge 1.20.1 only.
Bottle Ship runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The source code is public and the mod is released under the MIT License, so it is open source. Public links exist for the source code, the issue tracker and a wiki.
Key features
Bottling ships
A ship can be sealed into a Bottle With Ship item, which keeps it in the player's inventory.
Releasing at a location
A Bottle With Ship item releases its ship at a location the player picks, rather than at the spot where it was bottled.
Long-distance transport
A bottled ship can be carried far away before it is released, which allows moving a vessel across the world.
Return near the player
A released ship returns near the player who used the item, so the vessel stays close to its owner.

Use cases
Moving a ship across a world
A builder who built a ship in one area can bottle it, carry the item far away, and release the ship at the destination.
Who it’s for: Players who already use Valkyrien Skies 2 on Forge 1.20.1 and want to move their ships around the world, and server owners running that setup, since both sides need the mod.
How it compares
VSPrinter is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is published for Forge 1.20.1, so it works in a similar client and server environment. Valkyrien Speed Limiter is published for Forge 1.20.1 as well, but it is released under the MIT License and is not open source; it works on the same client and server environment and does not move ships in bottles.
