Carry On

Carry On is a simple yet groundbreaking mod that enhances Minecraft gameplay by allowing players to pick up, carry, and place complex blocks (like chests, furnaces, tech machines, etc.) and even small mobs by hand—without breaking them or using tools. It brings a new, creative and fluid interaction to building and moving within the game.

Compatibility and Support

Fully compatible with Minecraft: Java Edition 1.20.1.

Designed for Forge mod loader (also supports Fabric and NeoForge, but focus here is on Forge).

Usable on both client and server sides.

Key Features

Full State Retention: When picking up a block, it retains all its internal data (inventory, metadata, NBT).

Simple and Intuitive Controls:

Press Shift (customizable) + right-click with empty hands to pick up a block or mob.

Right-click again to place it somewhere else.

Wide Compatibility: Works with nearly all tile entities from vanilla or tech mods—and even small mobs (non-hostile, unless configured otherwise).

Stacking: Allows placing smaller entities atop larger ones (e.g., carrying a pet onto your shoulder).

Respects Locks: Locked blocks cannot be stolen—protecting secured builds.

Realistic Carrying Speed: Carrying heavy or large objects will slow you down slightly—adds realism.

Flexible Configuration: Blacklist specific mods or blocks; enable or disable carrying plain blocks like dirt.

Handy Command: If you cannot place a carried object, use a command like “/carryon clear” to remove it.

Advanced Scripting Support: Enables modpack creators to script behavior for deeper customization.
