Chest On A Stick - Portable Chests
Chest On A Stick - Portable Chests lets players carry a chest in their hand and store items in it without placing a block.
What it does
The mod adds a portable chest held as an item. Right-clicking with the stick in hand opens its inventory, so items can be stored and retrieved anywhere without placing a block. Items placed inside stay in the stick even after it is dropped on the ground.
Two stick types are included: the Chest Stick and the Barrel Stick, which work the same way. A stick cannot be placed inside another stick of either type, and a barrel stick cannot be placed inside a chest stick or the reverse. Fabric API is required on every loader, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 15 release versions, 1.14.4 – 26.2, under All rights reserved, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Hand-held chest
The chest stick opens its inventory on right-click while held, with no block needed in the world.
Items persist on drop
Contents stay inside the stick when it is dropped on the ground, so stored items are kept intact.
Barrel Stick variant
A barrel-based stick works in the same way as the chest version, giving a second storage option.
Nesting restrictions
Sticks cannot be placed inside another stick, and the two types cannot be placed inside each other.
