Coni's Crates
by coni019493
Coni's Crates adds six tiers of storage blocks, from Wooden Crate to Netherite Crate, that only accept items through hoppers and similar blocks.
What it does
Crates are a simple bulk storage solution. Each tier holds more items than the one below it, so a higher tier stores a larger stack count per slot. Crates are accessible only through hoppers and comparable item-moving blocks, which keeps other mods' machines from reaching them directly. Redstone comparators can read a crate's fill level, so automated systems can react when a crate is full or empty.
The mod is available for NeoForge only, for the game version 1.21.8. Its files are published by coni019493 under All rights reserved, which means the code is not open source. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. A Fabric port has been mentioned for the future, but no Fabric files exist today.
Key features
Six crate tiers
Wooden, Copper, Iron, Golden, Diamond and Netherite Crates are craftable in survival, each tier larger than the last.
Hopper-only access
Crates accept and release items through hoppers and comparable blocks, so item flow is controlled by the automation built around them.
Comparator output
Redstone comparators read the fill level of a crate, which allows signals to be sent when storage reaches a chosen level.
Creative Crate
A Creative Crate duplicates any item that is funneled into it without limit, intended for creative builds and testing.

Use cases
Automated item storage
Hoppers feed crates from mining or farming lines, and the crate tier is matched to how much the line produces.
Full-storage signals
Comparators on a crate can switch off a feeding line once the crate reaches a set fill level.
Who it’s for: Players building automated survival bases, and server owners who want storage that other mods cannot pull items out of directly.

Critical Crates is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 – 26.2 that is open source under the MIT License, so its code can be read and changed.

What the author says
The number of items you can fit in a crate increases the higher the tier. However this is not the case for the Creative Crate, where whichever item is funneled into it will get duplicated infinitely. The mod is currently available for Neoforge ONLY. A fabric port will come in the future.
