Bear's Storage Crates

Bear's Storage Crates is a NeoForge storage mod for Minecraft 1.21.1. Instead of fixed inventory slots, each crate has a set capacity, and larger stacks use up more of it, so a crate can hold many more individual items than a chest-style inventory. Bear's Storage Crates suits mob farms that produce many different drops, crop farms where seeds and other byproducts would otherwise fill up valuable space, and bulk material storage that keeps big collections sorted without taking over a room full of chests.

Crates can be combined into a 2×2×2 Large Crate that stores eight times as many items, which suits massive bases and farms that produce lots of different drops. Contents are sorted automatically by stack size, placing the most common items first. Storage can be retextured to match the wood type of the surrounding build by using Shift and right-clicking a crate with a plank, so it blends into different building styles. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, with 1.0.2 as the latest file. The code is released under the MIT License, but the mod is not open source.
