Decorative Boxes
by swzo
Decorative Boxes adds eight wooden box blocks, one for each wood type from spruce to cherry, plus bamboo, for storing and displaying items on a server.
What it does
Each box is crafted from its matching wood type, and all eight follow the same recipe pattern. The only difference between them is the wood used in the recipe, and the slab variant has its own recipe.
The mod uses the filament library, which ships inside the mod file, so it is not needed as a separate install. Fabric API and Polymer are required dependencies and must be installed alongside Decorative Boxes. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and it is licensed under the MIT License as open source.
Files exist for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with v1.0.1 for 1.21.1 as the latest Fabric release, published on 2024-09-24. The mod was first released on 2024-09-18.
Key features
Eight box types
Spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, cherry and bamboo each have their own box block.
Matching wood recipes
Every box is crafted from its own wood type, which keeps the set consistent with the rest of the wood blocks.
Slab recipe variant
Box slabs use a separate recipe from full boxes, so the slab form can be made without a full block.
Bundled filament library
The filament library ships inside the mod, so it does not need to be installed separately.

The recipes are the same for all wood types! The only difference is the type of slab you use in each recipe.
