The Crane is a utility craft that can quickly move items between itself and nearby piloted crafts. Like trains, they can only move when directly above special track blocks, which are listed below.
¶ Moving Cargo
Using the /cargo command, crane pilots can move items between the crane and any piloted craft that is within 32 blocks.
To move items from the crane's chests to another piloted craft's chests, type /cargo load <name of other craft's pilot>.
To move items to the crane's chests from another piloted craft's chests, type /cargo unload <name of other craft's pilot>.
Both commands will send a confirmation screen to the other craft's pilot, who can choose to accept or reject the item transfer.
