Friendly Chests
by jbredwards
Friendly Chests changes how chests are spaced, letting players place them closer together in a world.
What it does
Chests placed by players can sit next to each other with less space between them, so storage areas take up less room. The mod works with properly coded chest blocks added by other mods. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.12.2, with 2.0.1 as the latest build from 2025-12-10. It is released under a custom license and is not open source.
Key features
Closer chest placement
Chests can be set down near one another instead of keeping the usual spacing between them.
Support for added chests
Properly coded chest blocks from other mods work with the closer placement.
Safe to add to existing worlds
The mod can be added to a world that already exists, though a backup is advised first, and removing it later may break some things.

What the author says
Can be safely added to any existing world, but always make a backup just to be safe! Removing this mod from existing worlds is likely to break stuff though.
