MineCarry

MineCarry lets you pick up and move vanilla container blocks with their contents preserved.

How it works

Pick up: Sneak (Shift) + Right Click a supported container with an empty main hand.

Carry: the container is shown as a marker item in your selected hotbar slot and you get a movement speed penalty while carrying. Place: Sneak (Shift) + Right Click a block face to place it back down, restoring the BlockState + BlockEntity NBT (inventory included).

Supported blocks

Chests (including double chests) Barrels Furnaces and other vanilla Container block entities Ender Chest (note: inventory is per-player, vanilla behavior)

Not supported

Shulker Boxes (intentionally excluded) Anti-duplication / safety The carry marker item cannot be dropped.

Vanilla placement is blocked so you can’t place infinite empty containers. Pickup/placement cancels vanilla interaction to prevent GUI desync and duplication.
