Iron Crate
by zelriano36
Iron Crate adds wooden crates in several wood types, each usable as storage and as a decorative block in builds.
What it does
Each crate takes the texture and color of its wood, so a crate can match the look of a rustic house, a castle or a modern build. Crates are stackable, and a stack of them saves room in storage rooms in the same way barrels do. Small, medium and large sizes are available to fit different amounts of items.
Crates can also be upgraded with materials such as Iron, Gold, Diamond, Emerald, Netherite and Obsidian, which expands their capacity. The recipes for basic crates use planks and sticks, so they are reachable early in a survival world. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.21.1 – 26.2 and the latest files for 26.1.2 and 26.2. It is licensed as All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Wood-type crates
Crates are made from nine wood types, so each one can be matched to the style of a build or a biome.
Three sizes
Small, medium and large crates let players pick storage capacity to suit the items they keep.
Stackable storage
Crates stack like barrels, which keeps storage rooms compact and efficient.
Upgradable crates
Crates can be enhanced with metals and gems up to Netherite and Obsidian, increasing what each crate holds.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Decorating a base
Crates in matching wood types work as rustic props, so storage can blend into a medieval or modern build.
Organizing a survival world
Early crafting uses only planks and sticks, so players can set up sorted storage soon after starting.
Who it’s for: Players who want more storage options and a decorative touch for their builds, and server owners who want storage that stays visually consistent with the rest of the world.
