Iron Chests
by alexbegt
Iron Chests adds storage chests made from each vanilla metal, in several sizes, for players who need more room than a standard chest.
What it does
Each metal gets its own chest, and the sizes vary from one to the next, so a base can use a mix of small and large storage. The author describes the chests as a way to store items beyond vanilla options. Iron Shulker Boxes now holds the custom shulker boxes that used to ship here. Installation needs Forge or NeoForge, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.16.5 – 26.2 and are released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the mod is open source.
