Description

✋ Carry Mechanics

Pick up, carry, and place blocks and entities with your bare hands.

NeoForge and Forge Minecraft 26.2, 1.21.1 and 1.20.1 Client and Server LGPL-3.0



✨ Overview

Carry Mechanics lets you pick up, carry, and place blocks (with their block entities — chests, furnaces, spawners…) and entities using only your empty hands. Heavier objects slow you down, you can't jump while carrying, and datapack tags control exactly what is grabbable.

A fork of Carry On by Tschipp and PurpliciousCow, rebranded and reworked by Stalking Dragons. Distributed under the same license (LGPL-3.0). Gameplay dynamics differ from Carry On — the crouch-to-pick-up behaviour, grab rules, carry conditions and rendering are modified. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the Carry On authors.

🎯 Features

📦 Pick up anything

Grab blocks with block entities by holding Sneak and right-clicking with empty hands. Also works on mobs, animals, and other players.

📍 Place anywhere

Right-click on any surface to place what you're carrying — blocks, entities, or players.

🗻️ Entity stacking

Stack carried entities on top of others like a totem pole. Configurable stack limits and size checks.

🏋️ Weight & slowness

Heavier objects slow you down and block jumping. Weight depends on object size and NBT.

📋 Whitelist / Blacklist

Control what can be picked up via datapack tags for blocks, entities and stacking (six tag types), in whitelist or blacklist mode.

📜 Scripting system

Datapack-powered JSON scripts with conditions (game stage, advancement, XP, gamemode) and custom commands on init / loop / place.

⚙️ Fully configurable

25+ options: max distance, entity size limits, slowness multipliers, hit prevention, player-pickup toggle and more.

👁️ First Person Model compatible

Optional support for First Person Model: the carried block or entity is shown correctly in first person, including while crouching.

💻 Commands

  • /carrymechanics debug — show current carry state
  • /carrymechanics clear [player] — clear carry data
  • /carrymechanics place [player] — place the carried object
