Cloud Storage
by AlexModGuy
Cloud Storage is a Forge and NeoForge mod that adds a simple mass storage option inspired by sky-themed balloon and cloud content.
What it does
Access works from a home base without complicated network setup, meteorite-sourced crystals or other tech mod machinery. The mod addresses a storage problem with a straightforward approach rather than gating nearly endless storage behind endgame content. Installation requires Citadel, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files target 1.18.2 – 1.20.1, with 1.4.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest release.
Beyond storage, the mod adds sky-related content: two mobs that supply the main materials used to create balloons and cloud chests, along with new items and blocks. Badloons are fragile balloon monsters that leave balloon pieces behind when defeated. Bloviators are hostile cloud spirits that push players with gusts of wind and turn into charged thunderclouds in clear weather, zapping with lightning in rain. Large Bloviators break into smaller ones, and the smallest may drop a Cloud Block while the thunder-type drops a Static Cloud Block. Both monsters spawn only at y-level 196 and above, and their spawn rules can be adjusted through the config.
Key features
Balloon-based storage
A chest, barrel or other inventory can be tied to a balloon and sent up into a cloud, then reached again later.
Badloon mobs
Badloons are weak balloon monsters that can be popped with a projectile and leave balloon pieces when defeated.
Splitting Bloviators
Large Bloviators break into smaller ones like slimes, and the smallest ones can drop a Cloud Block.
Configurable sky spawns
Both monsters spawn only from y-level 196 upward, and the spawn behavior can be adjusted to climb higher or lower.

What the author says
Many people have heard of Cloud Storage, but many believe that it involves computers and servers and other smart people stuff. In reality, and in this mod, Cloud Storage involves tying a chest, barrel or other inventory to a balloon and sending it up to the cloud. Why? So you can access its inventory from your home…
