Magic Storage
by sq-yan
Magic Storage links a player's Storage Cells into one searchable inventory, with a Magic Heart altar that binds nearby storage to a single network.
What it does
Storage Cells placed within reach of the Magic Heart are linked into one network that the player can search and sort from a single screen. The interface offers name and count sorting and category filters, and live fill indicators on the cells show whether each one is empty, partly used or full. A Quick Dump hotkey moves matching items from the inventory into the network in one press, and protected slots keep chosen items out of that transfer.
The Heart altar is awakened with a Magic Heart, and Crystal Expanders attached to the altar's faces grow the network with more storage. Villagers sell Magic Heart items, and Reigall's Tuning Fork lets the player re-tune an existing setup. The mod is built around a lore-driven story told through archmage Reigall and princess Liza, which is written into the game as the storage is opened up.
Magic Storage is published for Forge only, for game versions 1.20.1 and 1.21.11. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Linked storage cells

One key press moves inventory items into the network, and protected slots keep chosen stacks in place.
Heart altar expansion
Crystal Expanders snap to the altar's faces and extend the network with additional storage capacity.
Live fill indicators

How it compares
SmartChest is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 that is also client and server and open source under the MIT License, so it covers a narrower version range. Sort Chest is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that runs client-side only and is not open source, so servers do not need it. Inventory Storages covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.21.1 – 26.3 and is not open source.
