Hyperbox
by Commoble
Hyperbox is a Forge and NeoForge storage block whose inside is larger than its outside, so large machines can be built in a tiny space.
What it does
Each Hyperbox block opens into its own dimension, a single chunk that holds a 13x13x13 usable space excluding the walls. Items, machines and blocks placed inside stay there, and the block itself acts as a portal into that dimension. A block mined and placed somewhere else remains linked to its box.
Apertures on the box faces pass redstone power and Forge capabilities through the wall, so items can be inserted and extracted by hoppers placed between the inside and outside. The box is intended to work with anything that uses standard redstone power and the Forge capability system.
Hyperbox worlds unload and stop ticking when the parent block is removed, and they load again when the block is placed again. Only the single primary chunk is saved, which keeps file size down. Hyperbox is published for Forge and NeoForge across four game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, and it is released under the MIT License, so the source code is open source. Client and server both need it.
Key features
Larger interior
The box holds a usable space far bigger than its outer footprint, with the interior at 13x13x13 blocks.
Linked portal block
The block acts as a portal to a dedicated dimension and stays linked to its box after being mined and placed elsewhere.
Redstone and capability apertures
Apertures on the faces transmit redstone power and Forge capabilities, so hoppers can move items through the wall.
Chunk loading
The chunk containing the block stays loaded while the interior is in use, and the box can be disabled through the common config.

What the author says
The Hyperbox block acts as a portal to another dimension. Each hyperbox has its own dimension stored within; should the block be mined and placed somewhere else, the dimension will remain linked to that block. Activating the block sends the player inside this dimension; within the block's dimension are apertures on…
