Minecraft Carry On mod: Features and installation guide

Minecraft comes with a lot of features and mechanics. However, if you want to move a particular block such as the crafting table or the furnace, it first needs to be broken and then placed in another place of your liking. This is where the Carry On mod comes into play, making the entire moving process very simple.

Here’s everything about the mod, from the features it brings to the installation process for Minecraft.

While the phrase “carry on” refers to continuing something, the mod’s name means you can carry them in your hands. This is completely different from breaking an item such as the crafting table or chest, placing it in your inventory, and then placing it somewhere else.

The mod allows you to just hold the already placed item, move it by just walking around, and then place it wherever you want to. It also works with other mobs. However, you cannot pick up hostile mobs in the Survival mode.

The mechanics for picking up items are also very easy. The default method is by moving close to the item you want to pick, holding “Shift” and then right-clicking. This will pick up the item using both your hands. You can place the item by just right-clicking anywhere you want. You can also change the default “Shift” button to any other key of your choice.

The Carry On mod adds a great game mechanic that Mojang Studios should consider adding as it makes moving things less tedious. Now that you know what this mod does, here’s how you can install it to the game.

Even though this mod adds a new mechanic to the game, it will not affect the game's performance, even for lower-end PCs. There are minor bugs with the mod pack but nothing game-breaking. Make sure to install the version of the mod that matches your game's version.
