Extra Chests

by VgLevelUp

Extra Chests adds chests, trapped chests and double chests for every wood type in vanilla, including Crimson and Warped, so storage can match a build's style.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.21 – 26.2

What it does

Two chests of the same type placed side by side join into a large chest, as in vanilla. The mod's chests work like normal chests, and double chests work the same way.

Trapped chests send a redstone signal while they are opened, and their output can be read by circuits. The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge across the 1.21 – 26.2 range, and it is built on Architectury API, which must be installed alongside it. Fabric API is required on Fabric. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

Key features

  1. Wood variants

    Chests and trapped chests are made for twelve wood types, including the Crimson and Warped nether woods.

  2. Double chests

    Two chests of the same type placed side by side form a large chest with a shared inventory.

  3. Trapped chests

    Trapped chests emit redstone power in proportion to how many players are viewing the chest.

  4. Creative tabs

    The chests and their redstone blocks are grouped in creative mode inventory tabs.

Use cases

Storage that matches a build

Builders use the wood variants to keep chests in the same palette as the rest of a structure.

Redstone counters

Trapped chests can signal circuits when a chest is opened, or report how many players are viewing it.

Who it’s for: Players who want more chest styles in survival or creative worlds, and server owners who run a shared base where chests should match the surrounding wood.

Questions

Does Extra Chests need Architectury API?

Yes. Architectury API is a required dependency, and Fabric API is required on Fabric. Both must be installed next to Extra Chests.

Does the server need Extra Chests?

Yes. The server and every player need the mod installed.

Which loaders does Extra Chests support?

The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge. Files exist for 26.2 on both loaders, with builds back to 1.21.

Do trapped chests affect redstone?

Yes. A trapped chest sends a redstone signal while someone has it open, and the strength of that signal rises with the number of players looking into it.

What the author says

Works like the normal chest (double chests too). Trapped versions send redstone when opened. My excuse to practice block entity creation and texturing.
