(→‎Features: Made a small grammar fix. Moved the "can't pick up filled blocks" to the picking up section and mentioned that liquid tanks will lose liquids in the same section as it seems relevant to a non-technical audience.)
(Fix some of the new info and add some of the old info)

Containers containing shulker boxes or filled relocators can not be picked up.


====== Picking Up a Machine Block ======
The relocator will pick up the block it is placed on (this means a block cannot be picked up from the bottom because a skull cannot be placed on the bottom of a block).  Relocators will not pick up blocks with items in them. Relocating a liquid tank will empty it of its contents.
Once a machine is picked up, the relocator will drop as the block type it was placed on (e.g. dropper for custom crafter or hopper for liquid tank). This item will have an enchanted glint and be named according to the custom name of the block, and will have the first line of lore set to “Relocator” (yellow and italic).
====== Placing Down a Machine Block ======
To get the machine block back, simply place down the item created when picking up a machine block. The original relocator item will drop once the block is created.

=== Technical Summary ===
=== Picking Up a Container or Machine Block ===
Scores of the armor stands are not stored, so liquid tanks will not retain their liquid type or fill amount.
The relocator will pick up the block it is placed on (this means a block cannot be picked up from the bottom because a skull cannot be placed on the bottom of a block), this could be a chest, a dropper, a [[Liquid Tanks|Liquid Tank]], a [[Custom Crafters|Custom Crafter]] or similar. Relocators can not pick up containers that have a Shulker Box inside.
 
Once a block is picked up, the relocator will drop as a filled item. It will have a lore indicating what is stored inside.
 
=== Placing Down a Container or Machine Block ===
To get the block back, simply place down the custom block created when initially picking up a machine block. An empty relocator item will drop once the block is created.
 
===Compatibility===
The relocator is capable of picking up compatible GM4 Machine Blocks. Any module can support relocation; custom pick up and place down functions are available so each module is able to be correctly compatible with relocators.


Sometimes the raytracing doesn't work properly and the items used to initially create the machine block will be spawned about five block in front of the player. This only happens if the raycasting does not find the correct block, due to the player moving too fast or a unique hitbox, such as the hopper.
The following modules have relocation support:


The following data is stored for a machine block armor stand: Small, CustomName, ArmorItems, DisabledSlots, Invulnerable, Pose, Tags, Y-Position relative to the block
*[[Block Compressors]]
*[[Custom Crafters]]
*[[Disassemblers]]
*[[Enchantment Extractors]]
*[[Ender Hoppers]]
*[[Liquid Tanks]]
*[[Master Crafting]]
*[[Smelteries]]
*[[Tinkering Compressors]]


The following data is stored for a machine block: CustomName, Lock
All machine data (inventory items, liquid levels, ...) is preserved when moving a machine this way.


===Compatibility===
The relocator is capable of picking up almost any machine block by Gamemode 4. There is no hard-coded list, but if the machine block has an armor stand, it is likely that it can be picked up.

This module adds an item that can pick up and move containers and Gamemode 4 machines without having to take out the contents!

Features

By placing down a relocator, the player is able to pick up and move a container or custom machine block. Whenever a relocator is placed, it will immediately return to the player's inventory unless placed on a container or machine block. Containers containing shulker boxes or filled relocators can not be picked up.

Picking Up a Container or Machine Block

The relocator will pick up the block it is placed on (this means a block cannot be picked up from the bottom because a skull cannot be placed on the bottom of a block), this could be a chest, a dropper, a Liquid Tank, a Custom Crafter or similar. Relocators can not pick up containers that have a Shulker Box inside.

Once a block is picked up, the relocator will drop as a filled item. It will have a lore indicating what is stored inside.

Placing Down a Container or Machine Block

To get the block back, simply place down the custom block created when initially picking up a machine block. An empty relocator item will drop once the block is created.

Compatibility

The relocator is capable of picking up compatible GM4 Machine Blocks. Any module can support relocation; custom pick up and place down functions are available so each module is able to be correctly compatible with relocators.

The following modules have relocation support:

All machine data (inventory items, liquid levels, ...) is preserved when moving a machine this way.

Previous Versions

MC 1.14-1.15 Versions

Prior to 1.16, Relocators were less reliable and less expandable. When picking up a block, the block that the machine block was made of (e.g. dropper/hopper) dropped as the relocated block, instead of a custom block item. Additionally, there was no hardcoded implementation for deciding whether a block should or shouldn't be picked up, leading to errors with some machine blocks (e.g. relocated smelteries were bugged until breaking and placing it down again).

In these versions, the following technical details were present:

  • Sometimes the raytracing doesn't work properly and the items used to initially create the machine block will be spawned about five block in front of the player. This only happens if the raycasting does not find the correct block, due to the player moving too fast or a unique hitbox, such as the hopper.
  • The following data is stored for a machine block armor stand: Small, CustomName, ArmorItems, DisabledSlots, Invulnerable, Pose, Tags, Y-Position relative to the block
  • The following data is stored for a machine block: CustomName, Lock

MC 1.15-1.17 Versions

Prior to 1.18, Relocators were solely used to pick up and move Gamemode 4 machines. Pickup would only work for empty machines (no items in internal inventory) and data such as a Liquid Tanks' liquid would be lost. The relocator recipe in these versions are as follows:
