Capsule

Table of Contents

Bring your base! Capsules can capture a region containing any blocks or machines, then deploy and undeploy at will. Inspired by Dragon Ball capsules.

Getting started

You first need a capture base. This is where you can initialize a capsule with it's first content. You'll be able to capture the region on top of it.

"Capture Base" recipe

Then you need an 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

Empty Capsule

Throw it near the capture base !

Right click : activate
Right click while activated : throw the capsule.
Once the content is captured, the capsule can be deployed or undeployed at will.

Initial capture

Note that all the capsule can be dyed (affect the base color) and labeled (sneak + right click).

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

This mod's main feature is included in the 1.7 mod Chocolate Quest. I'm not really sure if this mod is based on that one, or if they are two entirely separate things.

It's totally different ! I was not even aware Chocolate Quest had something similar when I started in 1.8.9. Also it's super cool Chocolate Quest have this for 1.7 so that players can have an equivalent feature for all the versions =)

I used to use a mod for 1.7.10 that was called Nomadic Tents. It had three different types of tents with three sizes. When you clicked on the door it teleported you inside the tent into a different dimension. Similar to how compct machines worked. It didn't work as smoothly as this one but it allowed me to have a mobile base.

Place one Capture Base under what you want to capture, centered. Take an empty capsule in hand, right click once to preview, right click a second time to throw the capsule and trigger the capture.

Have Fun !

Excuse me. I have modified the loots of the following config / capsule / loots directory with custom structures and when I try it in a local world they work but when I load it to a server they do not work correctly, in the console I get this message when I use a capsule of the that are generated in chests

This tells me the console of my server [capsule.items.CapsuleItem]: Capsule size must be an odd number to achieve consistency on deployment. Resized to: -1

I checked the structures to see if it was odd but most are odd and even then it is not fixed

so when I try to use any of the capsules that have these structures, they appear to me as having a size of 1x1x1 probe creating a new server with only capsule mod and it does not work either

For those having a similar problem, the tldr is : use lowercase only to name your custom template files (ex: "my structure.nbt" is ok but "My structure.nbt" or "my structure mkI.nbt" won't work. Uppercase will work in windows environment but will fail to deploy in linux environment (which most of dedicated servers use).

New version of the mod makes default templates lowercase and Capitalize The Name when creating a capsule item from it.

Have fun !

is it possible to Unlink a capsule to a structure?

Like, I found a perfect spot for something and I dont wanna move it anymore, but I also want to keep my capsule for later use.

Maybe it's possible, as I was in creative when testing a bit.

Currently the way to do this is :

Undeploy the content into the capsule

Craft the capsule alone in a crafting grid to get a one use capsule with the structure inside, and to get back the emptied capsule at the same time.

Deploy the one use capsule to the definitive spot

This is not totally ideal, I plan to improve this in a future version but can yet tell when.

Have Fun !

This is great!

Can you rotate captured structures?

its like the pokeball version from grim pack but for structures. If theres a spawner in the area where you capture, will it capture it or leave it behind? Great if it does capture it so you can travel with your mob base.

Using the default config, spawners can only be captured using an overpowered capsule (wich requires a nether star, you can check the recipe on JEI). So you can either acquire a nether star, or tweak the config as you like !
