Mergeable Chests
Mergeable Chests adds a chest block that joins with matching neighbors into one larger container, shown with a continuous model and a single animated lid.
What it does
Placed chests of this type that sit side by side with the same facing direction link together, and the group acts as one storage unit. Right-clicking any connected part opens the shared inventory, so a player manages the whole combined space from a single container rather than several separate ones. The merged size can grow wider, deeper or taller, depending on how the chests are arranged.
Conversion runs in both directions through shapeless crafting. A vanilla chest can be crafted into a Mergeable Chest, and a Mergeable Chest can be crafted back into a vanilla chest for anyone who wants to convert it. The mod is a Forge build for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, released under the MIT License, with source code and an issue tracker published alongside the files.

Use cases
Large item storage
Players who need more room than a single chest provides can place several Mergeable Chests together and use them as one container.
Compact bases
Connected chests take up the footprint of their arrangement while presenting one inventory, which keeps storage rows tidy.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players and server owners on Forge 1.19.2 and 1.20.1 who want chests that expand into one shared container. Both the server and every player need it, so it works most smoothly on a server where the whole group installs it.
