CompressedChest
by Artemiyy
CompressedChest adds a single storage block with a 243-slot inventory, arranged as a 27x9 grid, for NeoForge 1.21.1.
What it does
A CompressedChest is one block that holds 243 item slots in a 27x9 grid, far more than the 27 of a vanilla chest. The block is a crafting result that builds up from the nine vanilla chests it is made from, so storage scales with materials rather than with separate chests placed beside each other.
The mod depends on Avaritia, which must be installed alongside it. It works on NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with native support for that loader. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The project is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source. Its first and latest file, 1.0.0, was published on 2026-06-13, marked as beta.
Key features
243-slot storage block
One block holds a 27x9 grid of 243 slots, so a single placement covers the storage of many chests.
Classic crafting recipe
The block is made in the usual crafting grid from vanilla chests, so no separate machine is needed.
Built from nine vanilla chests
The recipe takes nine vanilla chests, letting players reuse storage they already have in the world.
Legendary chest returns
The mod brings back the legendary Compressed Chest from earlier Avaritia-based content as an independent item.

Use cases
Bulk item storage
A large base or farm can keep its stock in fewer block positions, with each block holding far more than a vanilla chest.
Who it’s for: Players on NeoForge 1.21.1 who run Avaritia and want a high-capacity chest, and server owners who want to add a bulk storage block to a modpack.
