Basket Case

by TheDaeruin

Basket Case adds wicker baskets in three sizes that players carry in the hotbar and open with a right click.

ForgeClient and serverGNU General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.12.2 – 1.18.2

What it does

Baskets are crafted from wicker and some vanilla plants, such as vines and sugar cane, and they are meant for portable storage used as decoration. Each basket opens from the hotbar, so a player can reach its contents without placing it in the world. The mod adds new items too, including cordage, tall grass and bark strips, and it also works with stripped logs.

Most behavior can be disabled or tweaked in the config, and the author points to the project home page for the full list of options. Primal Lib is required and must be installed alongside Basket Case on both the server and every player. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.12.2 and 1.18.2, and the source code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so the mod is open source.

Key features

  1. Three basket sizes

    Baskets come in small, medium and large, each holding a different number of stacks.

  2. Hotbar access

    Carried baskets open with a simple right click from the hotbar, without a chest or a placement step.

  3. Wicker and plant recipes

    Baskets are made from wicker and vanilla items such as vines and sugar cane, also called reeds.

  4. New plant-based items

    Cordage, tall grass and bark strips are added as new items alongside the baskets.

  5. Configurable behavior

    Almost every feature can be disabled or tweaked, so server owners can set the mod to fit their world.

Baskets can be placed in a building for the look of wicker storage while still holding items.

Who it’s for: Players who want portable storage on the hotbar, and server owners who want a small storage option with its settings adjustable in the config.
