Capsule
by Lythom
Capsule lets players capture a region of blocks and machines into a portable item, then deploy and undeploy it at will.
What it does
Capsules hold a copy of a region that can contain any blocks or machines. The first capsule is made of wood and covers a single block, so a chest or crafting table can be captured with one right click and placed again instantly. Larger capsules made of obsidian (9x9x9) and emerald (11x11x11) also exist. To initialize a larger capsule, a capture base is needed, and an empty capsule is thrown near it to receive the first content.
Blueprint capsules copy a structure and can draw the materials they need from chests or other inventories. Rotation and mirroring are supported. Modpack makers can also hand out ready-to-deploy structures or place capsules as loot in chests. Color and label options are available as well.
Capsule is open source under the MIT License and runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.12.2 – 1.21.1, in client and server play. Forge files are current at 8.0.105 for 1.20.1, and the latest NeoForge build is a beta for 1.21.1.
