Carry On — Guide
Getting Started
- Walk up to a carriable block, block entity, or mob and use the pick-up control (see How to Pick Up / Place).
- Your character now visibly holds the object. Move where you want it and place it back down.
No crafting is required - the carrying ability is always available.
How to Pick Up & Place
- Pick up: look at the target block/entity and sneak + use (the default carry control, rebindable in Options > Controls). You will see the object lifted in your hands.
- Carry: move around freely while holding it. You can walk, but heavy or stacked carries may slow you (see Configuration).
- Place down: aim at where you want it and use again to set it back, with its full state preserved - chests keep their items, machines keep their progress, mobs are released unharmed.
Picking up a block entity moves the whole tile (and its inventory) rather than just the block, which is what makes it so useful.
What You Can Carry
Carry On supports three broad categories:
- Blocks - ordinary blocks you can lift and reposition.
- Block entities (tiles) - chests, furnaces, hoppers, barrels, spawners, and modded machines - and they retain their contents and state when moved.
- Mobs / entities - pick up animals, villagers, and many creatures by hand and relocate them, then set them down.
The exact set of what is allowed is configurable (see below), so server owners can restrict carrying powerful blocks or certain mobs.
