Filled Vacuum Capsule
Filled Vacuum Capsule carries exactly one bucket (1000 mB) of a fluid such as oil, and up to 16 capsules of the same fluid stack in one inventory slot.
Description
Emptying the Filled Vacuum Capsule uses the same right-click: place the fluid into the world, or pour it into the face of any machine tank — if the tank accepts a whole bucket, the capsule comes back empty and ready for the next run. The item carries a dynamic name, "Capsule: <fluid>", and its tooltip reads "1000 mB (1 bucket)"; the contents survive a drop, a death, or any container transfer. A lava-filled capsule works as fuel for the Geothermal Generator, and oil capsules are the natural way to haul crude oil from a lakeside Pump to the Polymerizer for rubber production. On both Fabric and NeoForge, pipes and tanks from other mods can fill and drain capsules directly in a slot. Because the empty capsule is crafted from tin, a finite ore, the Filled Vacuum Capsule is not renewable.

How to use a Filled Vacuum Capsule in Minecraft 26.2
-
1
Craft the empty capsule
Arrange tin ingots in the side columns of the top two rows with a glass pane between them, then lay redstone dust, a copper cable, and redstone dust across the bottom row — 4 tin ingots, 2 glass panes, 2 redstone dust, and 1 copper cable yield one empty Vacuum Capsule.
-
2
Fill it with a fluid
Right-click a fluid source in the world, or the tank face of a Pump or Geothermal Generator, to draw exactly 1 bucket (1000 mB) into the capsule. Partial fills do not exist — a whole bucket or nothing.
-
3
Carry up to 16 per slot
Filled capsules of the same fluid stack to 16, so one inventory slot carries 16 buckets; stacks of water, oil, and lava stay separate.
-
4
Empty it where needed
Right-click to place the fluid in the world, or click a tank face to pour the bucket in; when the tank accepts a whole bucket, the capsule returns empty.
Water evaporates in the Nether, exactly like from a vanilla bucket. Exotic fluids without a block form can only be poured into tanks, not into the world.

Frequently asked questions
Can you craft a Filled Vacuum Capsule?
No. The item has no recipe and is hidden from recipe viewers — craft the empty Vacuum Capsule from 4 tin ingots, 2 glass panes, 2 redstone dust, and 1 copper cable, then fill it with a fluid.
How much fluid does a Filled Vacuum Capsule hold?
Exactly one bucket — 1000 mB — of a single fluid. The tooltip confirms the amount, and partial fills are impossible: a whole bucket or nothing.
How many filled capsules stack in one slot?
Up to 16, and only capsules holding the same fluid. Different fluids never merge into one stack, while the empty capsule stacks to 64.
How do you empty a Filled Vacuum Capsule?
Right-click to place the fluid into the world, or right-click the face of a tank to pour it in. If the tank accepts a whole bucket, the capsule comes back empty.
Can a lava-filled capsule fuel the Geothermal Generator?
Yes. The Geothermal Generator accepts a lava-filled capsule as fuel alongside a lava bucket, and the emptied container returns to the slot beside it.
Is the Filled Vacuum Capsule renewable?
No. The empty capsule is crafted from tin ingots, and tin is a finite ore in Ala Industrial, so the supply is limited by how much you mine.
