Advanced CarryOn

Advanced CarryOn is a Paper/Spigot plugin that lets players pick up and carry mobs and blocks (including tile entities like chests, furnaces, and more) on their head. Carried items persist across logout/login and are fully configurable.

Inspired by the mod Carry On.

Features

• Carry Mobs — Pick up whitelisted mobs and carry them on your head. Place them on the ground or stack them on top of other mobs.
• Carry Blocks — Pick up whitelisted blocks (including tile entities with their contents preserved) and place them elsewhere.
• Tile Entity Support — Chests, barrels, shulker boxes, furnaces, etc. keep their inventory and data when carried and placed.
• Mob Stacking — Optionally stack multiple mobs on top of each other.
• Persistent Carry — Carried blocks and mobs are saved on logout and restored on login.
• Smooth Block Visuals — Carried blocks render on the player's head with configurable position, scale, and rotation that always faces forward.
• Toggle Messages — Players can enable/disable pickup and place messages per player with /carryon messages.
• Fully Configurable — Whitelists, sounds, messages, visuals, and more.

Commands

Tab completion is supported — type /carryon and press Tab to see available subcommands.
