Anshar
Anshar turns a Beacon and an Ender Chest into a shared storage network, where a frequency links the chests and players reach the same items from separate machines.
What it does
Players build a Beacon pyramid of blocks and set a matching frequency, and the active beacon resonates with that frequency. An Ender Chest set next to a beacon pyramid, with an end crystal placed above, turns the chest into a storage interface. Items stored in one beacon can be read and written from other beacons tuned to the same frequency, so several players can share one inventory through their attached Ender Chests.
The mod also lets a player stand within a beacon and move between connected beacons, which covers the cosmos theme the author describes: a set of beacons acts as points across a larger space. It runs on Fabric with Fabric API and Forge Config API Port required, and it is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Anshar was first published on 2023-12-26 and its latest Fabric file, 1.1.0, targets 1.21.4 and was released on 2025-08-22. Files exist for 1.20.4, 1.21, 1.21.1 and 1.21.4, and the environment is client and server, so both the server and every player need the mod.
Key features
Frequency-based storage
Items are shared between beacons tuned to the same frequency, so players on one frequency reach the same stored contents.
Ender Chest interface
An Ender Chest placed beside a beacon pyramid with an end crystal above it becomes an interface for that storage.
Beacon network travel
A player standing within a beacon can navigate between connected beacons across the network.
Pyramid-built beacons
The active beacon takes its frequency from the blocks that make up its base, so the pyramid shape sets the link.

What the author says
Anshar explores the eternities to which the beacons point. By harnessing the infinite power of the nether star, we can store data - or even ourselves - in the fabric of the world itself. An active beacon resonates with the cosmos on a frequency determined by the blocks making up its base. This expands its…
