Cardboard box
Cardboard box adds two new storage block types made from cardboard, used for sorting and holding small amounts of items.
What it does
Two block types are added: a plain cardboard box and a sealed cardboard box. Both serve as containers for storing items, and they are meant for keeping a small amount of mixed items sorted in one place. Builders can also place them as decoration, since the blocks suit buildings that need a lived-in or everyday look.
The mod runs on both client and server, so every player who joins a server running it needs the mod too. Builds are published for Fabric and Forge, for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, and the license is the MIT License, so the code is not open source. The latest file for either loader is 1.0.2, released 2025-04-09, the same day the mod was first published and last updated.
Key features
Plain cardboard box
A basic container block that holds items, placed and opened like a chest for small stacks of mixed goods.
Sealed cardboard box
A second container variant with a sealed look, offered alongside the plain box for a different appearance in the same build.
Decorative use
Both boxes can be placed purely as scenery in shops, storerooms and houses, not only as working storage.
Small-scale storage
The blocks are sized for storing a modest number of items rather than large inventories.
