Carry On

Carry On is a utility mod created by Tschipp. Lets players pick up and carry blocks, tile entities, and even mobs by shift-right-clicking, and place them elsewhere. As a utility mod it concentrates on quality-of-life and convenience, and it has been downloaded around 45 million times, which puts it among the options players reach for in this space.

Carry On is built for players who want to relocate chests, machines, and mobs without emptying them. Shift-right-click picks up a block or mob, contents intact, so you can rearrange a base or move a villager and set it down elsewhere. It is approachable enough to drop into a world and use right away, with little setup required.

The mod is available for Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge, so it fits a range of modpacks and launchers. It currently supports Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, spanning the 1.20.1 to 1.21.1 releases. It runs on both the client and the server, so on a multiplayer server every player who connects needs it installed alongside the server itself.

Because it ships for both Fabric and Forge-family loaders, it slots into most popular modpacks regardless of which side they are built on.

Carry On has a modest footprint for what it adds and is widely used in modpacks without notable performance concerns.

If you are comparing options, similar mods include Pick Up Notifier and Easy Villagers (for villagers). They cover comparable ground, so the right choice usually comes down to your loader, version, and the rest of your pack.
