What it does

Three chests can be upgraded into a Netherite Chest, and the mod also includes Shulker Boxes. Netherite items in the mod's crafting recipes use proper OreDict tags, and the chest item keeps fire immunity, a code path taken from Unseen's Nether Backport.

Storage players on survival worlds and multiplayer servers can use the mod without a backport mod such as Future MC, since the Netherite Chest is otherwise unobtainable in that version. An optional Shulker recipe rebalance and optional colored menus based on material can be enabled. The mod is available for Forge only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.

Key features

  1. Netherite Chest

    Holding 192 stacks, the Netherite Chest nearly doubles the storage of the Diamond, Crystal and Obsidian Chests.

  2. Chest upgrades

    Three chests can be upgraded into a Netherite Chest, giving a route to the largest capacity.

  3. Shulker Boxes

    Shulker Boxes are included alongside the chest types, with an optional recipe rebalance.

  4. Fire-immune chest item

    The chest item is fire immune, with the code taken from Unseen's Nether Backport.
