Capsule
This mod allows you to capture a region containing any blocks or machines, then deploy and undeploy it at will. It is inspired by Dragon Ball capsules.

The following guide is only an overview. For full informations see https://bitbucket.org/Lythom/mccapsule/wiki/Home
This guide is updated for the 1.10.2 version of the mod. For previous versions see the wiki : Version 1.9.4 User guide
Getting started
You first need a capsule base. This is where you can initialize a capsule with it's first content. You'll be able to capture the region on the top of it. Place it somewhere just below what you want to capture, or in a free space and build on top of it.
"Capture Base" recipe
Then you need to craft at least one empty capsule (the top item is a stone button) :
"Iron Empty Capsule" recipe, default capture size : 1x1x1
"Gold Empty Capsule" recipe, default capture size : 3x3x3
"DiamondEmpty Capsule" recipe, default capture size : 5x5x5
Capture the zone defined by the capture base, the capture zone will be visualized when holding the Empty Capsule. Usage (empty capsule) :
- Right click : activate
- Right click while activated : throw the capsule.
- Once the content is captured, the capsule can be deployed or undeployed at will.
Note that all the capsule can be dyed (affect the base color) and labeled (sneak + right click).
Initial capture
Usage (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
Loot ? LOOOOOOT !
Reward capsules now randomly spawn in dungeon chests. The Reward collection should grow pretty soon. Do you want your structures to be part of the reward content of Capsule ? Submit a "Proposal" of your structure block ! Send the structure nbt file with some description on https://bitbucket.org/Lythom/mccapsule/issues/new !

Posted Aug 17, 2017Great Mod! Will you update to 1.11/1.12?
P.S. I have noticed it doesn't work with some modded blocks, as ProjectE Condensers, and can interfere with the function of some multiblock structrures/machines, the Mekanism Digital Miner for example

Posted May 9, 2017Interesting, this works similar to structure blocks, except it appears that these work in survival mode instead of creative mode only. Neato~
maybe we can see a 16x16x16 version made up of 2 gold and 2 diamond capsules?
i'll be looking forward to a 1.11.2 release when it comes.

I just tested her out in 1.11.2 and i can confirm this mod's 1.10.2 does not in fact work in 1.11.2, as a matter of fact; forge will crash due to errors caused by the compatibility differences between this 1.10.2 mod and standard 1.11.2 mods. i kinda figured this might be the case due to the changes to entities entries made by mojang in minecraft's coding between 1.10.2 and 1.11.2, but i was still willing to give this a shot just to be sure. At least we know now. :3

Posted Jul 21, 2016The current 1.9.4 version already works with 1.10.2 version of minecraft , that said, I'm currently working on a dedicated 1.10.2 version that will have the capsules be compatible with the structure block systems (wich means any mod compatible with the structure blocks save/load will be compatible with capsules, and capsule contents will be spawnable using structure blocks as well).
I already started, release to be expected early august (with the patch for enchantment issue in as well !) =)
Edit: now released =)

Posted Jun 27, 2016Hello,
just checked the code, this is indeed a bug introduced with 1.9.4 migration (forge changed how enchantment registry works, forgot to test this point). I'll fix in the next release, thanks for the report !

Posted Jun 5, 2016Requiring a nether star just to move spawners seems excessive. By the time I have nether stars I don't need that anymore - there so many solutions, both vanilla and modded, in the early and mid-game that take care of any reason I might have for moving a spawner.
A block of diamond and three blaze rods would be a more reasonable recipe, in my opinion. Or, maybe regen potions instead of blaze rods?

Posted Jun 6, 2016I'm pretty happy with the way it currently is, spawner should not be, imo, something easy to play with. In vanilla, doing stuff with spawner is accessible early as soon as you find the spawner, but moving the spawner never happens. Now it happens, but yeah it's late game.
Plus the nether star version of the capsule allow to move bedrock as well, wich gives access to the top of the nether.
That said, I mostly balanced the mod for a vanilla experience, and if you feel the mod is not balanced regarding other mods (or even vanilla), maybe CraftTweaker for exemple can help you achieve what you believe is fair.

Posted Apr 4, 2016One other request:
Right now, if i want to place a structure I need to make sure the block where i deploy is empty and so are the blocks where I stand and the 2 blocks next to it.
When designing the structure to be stored, i also need to leave those location empty.
This makes it so I can't have a house for example with floor.
Some ideas:
1. instead use the location i deploy to match the CENTER of the structure, match it to the center of the Edge the structure.
For example, if I am facing EAST and deploy at a spot, match the deploy location with the center of the WESTERN edge of the structure. This however has an issue where if the capsule is very big say 15x15 but the actual structure is small (5x5), i need to clear unnecessary amount of space to deploy.
2. teleport me to Anywhere inside the structure that a player can stand on (or outside/on top of it if no empty space inside).
3. if that's too complicated may be:
- instead of 1 press for activate, 1 press for deploy. do a one press to set deployment location, one press for actual deployment. ?
- OR add a delay (when press a special key for delayed-deployment), say 5 seconds before deploying, so the player can run out of the way.

Posted Apr 4, 2016Hi,
I like the way it currently is, because it allows you to deploy around you by aiming at entity (including player) feets wich allows things like protective wall or caging (great synergy with Random things Potion Vaporizer for exemple), plus it is consistent with the way the capture base works (using center of square).
Also, you can already have 1 layer of floor and jump then deploy under your feet. This trick is not really hard to do (but limited to 1 layer of floor).
That said I do admit that the bigger the capsule, the harder the deployment.
More specific answer for each idea :
1. I like the idea of the edge being the center, but I'm not sure how to include this as deploy option (I want to let the default spawning from the center). sneak + throw = edge deploy, normal throw = center depoy ?
2. A bit tricky to implement (cases where there is no room to put the player on top, he would then suffocate :s). I think I prefer force the player to be creative in the way they design capsule contents (+ couting on the jump deploy trick).
3. I like the delay solution ! Could be reciped into the capsule so you configure once your capsule with a deploy delay.
It inspires me another related solution that could adress the same problem : what if the capsule throwing would act as a bow, the longer the farther ?
Thanks for your constructive feedback, I appreciate a lot !

Posted Apr 4, 2016I think the bow solution would work as long as its accurate like the bow. I think within 7-blocks (for the max size of 15x15) distance, a bow should be pretty accurate for direct targeting (without needing to calculate the curve).

Posted Apr 1, 2016Doors cannot be stored, they breaks the moment the structure is undeployed. (Tested iron door also arcadia doors), button also broke it is strange because I had two buttons the one on the inside was saved but the one outside was broken. (they were both inside the limit, the button is considered one block I understand that).
My structure is a 5x5 simple shelter with first layer of wall being stone brick, and second layer being glass blocks, with stairs/slabs/glowstone on the roof.
