Packing Tape - Packaging Tape for Minecraft

Attention Fabric users: This is a Forge mod, it has always been and will remain so. If I ever port it to Fabric, which is not currently planned, it will be a completely separate project with clear indication.

Basic Usage

Craft packaging tape from string, paper, and slime balls in any crafting table (shapeless).

Right-click with the tape on a block with TileEntity (chests, machines, and others) to pack.

Harvest the packed block to carry it around, and place it in the desired location.

Right-click on a packed block to unpack.

Important: Sneaking while placing the block will disable the rotation system when unpacking!

Adding Mob Spawners to the Whitelist

To pack mob spawners, add the corresponding tile entity class to the whitelist section of the configuration file.

For version 1.18+:

Use this datapack: [link removed]

For version 1.14+:

Navigate to your save folder, then to serverconfigs and open the packingtape-server.toml file in a text editor (Notepad++ is a good choice for Windows users).

Find the whitelist line and add the spawner in square brackets:

whitelist = ["minecraft:mob_spawner"]

To add multiple elements, separate them with commas:

whitelist = ["minecraft:mob_spawner","minecraft:chest","someothermod:someothertile"]

For version 1.12 and earlier:

Locate the configuration file in config/packingtape.cfg. Find the S:whitelist key and add the TE in angle brackets, one per line for multiple values.

tileentities {
    S:blacklist <
     >
    S:whitelist <
        net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntityMobSpawner
     >
}
