Portable Structure Containers
by _L12
Portable Structure Containers lets players capture a block structure, carry it in an item and place it again elsewhere, in three sizes up to 11x11x11 blocks.
What it does
Players capture a built structure into a portable container item, carry it to another location and place it back in the world. The container comes in tiers, from a 3x3x3 block capacity at the base level up to 11x11x11 at the top level, so larger builds fit into a single item. Capture and placement are done with the item itself, with no separate command needed.
The mod suits building projects that need to be moved, copied or stored, such as relocating a farm or a house between worlds on the same server. Movement is handled with the aim of correcting placement mistakes, so rebuilding is easier without the feature being overpowered. Installation requires NeoForge and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for 1.21.1 only, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
The mod is also listed under Game mechanics and Utility. Its only loader is NeoForge, and the latest file is version 1.0.0 for 1.21.1, published on 2026-07-19.
Key features
Capture structures
A structure built in the world can be captured into a container item, which keeps its block layout for later placement.
Three container tiers
Portable containers of increasing size hold 3x3x3, 5x5x5 and 9x9x9 blocks, and a netherite tier holds 11x11x11 blocks.
Carry and place
Each container can be carried in the inventory and placed again at a new location, so builds can be moved in one piece.
Placement correction
Movement helps correct placement mistakes, making rebuilding simpler without granting an unfair advantage.
