Byg Crates
by Team Jackdaw
Byg Crates adds functional crates to Apple Crates, with colored variants that serve as storage and decoration for biome-themed builds.
What it does
Byg Crates is an addon for Apple Crates that adds crates made from the wood types of the Oh The Biomes We've Gone mod. Each crate can store items and be used as decoration, and crates come in several colors. The addon requires Apple Crates, Fabric API and Oh The Biomes We've Gone to run.
The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. Its source code is public. Files target game versions 1.19.2 – 1.21.11, and the client and server both need it, so every player on a server that runs it installs it too.
Key features
Functional crates
Crates hold items for storage and can also be placed purely as decoration in a base or village build.
Biome wood variants
Crates are built from the wood types added by Oh The Biomes We've Gone, so they match the new biome trees.
Multiple colors
Each crate type is offered in several colors, letting builders vary the look of a storage area.
Sell and store items
Crates can be used to store items as part of an economy or trading setup on a server.
