by Zekromaster

Iron Chest (StAPI) brings iron, gold, diamond and obsidian storage chests to Minecraft Beta b1.7.3, through StationAPI.

What it does

Players craft chests of higher capacity by upgrading an earlier tier: wood, iron, gold, diamond and obsidian chests are available, and each tier can be built from the one before it. The chests keep their contents in the same way the vanilla chest does, so existing storage habits carry over.

Installation needs StationAPI and Terminal, both required dependencies. Iron Chest (StAPI) runs on client and server, which means the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric and Babric, only for b1.7.3, and carries the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, making it open source. Snapshot builds are published alongside the release files.

Key features

  1. Iron chest tier

    An iron chest adds more slots than the wooden chest it is crafted from, for players who outgrow the default storage.

  2. Gold and diamond chests

    Gold and diamond chests extend the upgrade path, giving larger storage capacity for bulk items.

  3. Obsidian chest

    The obsidian chest is the top tier of the upgrade sequence, reached after the diamond chest.

  4. Chest upgrades

    Each chest can be crafted into the next tier, so the upgrade path runs from wood through to obsidian.

No per-version build data
Modrinth lists game versions for this project (b1.7.3), but the source data has no build per game version and loader, so the compatibility grid is not shown.

Use cases

Bulk item storage

Players who store large amounts of blocks or items use the higher tiers to reduce the number of chests in a base.

Multiplayer bases

Server owners running the mod on a Beta server give every player the same set of storage options.

Who it’s for: Players of Minecraft Beta b1.7.3 who want more storage than the vanilla chest offers, and server owners who run that version with StationAPI installed.

How it compares

Full comparison

Iron Chest (StAPI) is a Fabric and Babric mod for b1.7.3 that is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Compressed Blocks also runs on Fabric and Babric for b1.7.3 and is client and server, but it is not open source and is released under the MIT License. MaterialExcavator covers the same loaders and version, is client and server, and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, so it changes a different part of the game.
