More Chests Variants (MCV)
With More Chests Variants, chests come in the wood types of the vanilla game, and the wood of a chest decides how it behaves in furnaces and fire.
What it does
Each wood type gets its own chest, so a world can hold chests from many woods. With Quad installed, chests made from regular wood can be used as fuel in a furnace, and nether wood chests are immune to fire and lava. Any of these chests can be used in vanilla recipes, for example to feed a hopper. The mod also lists a planned feature: chests generating inside natural structures, which is not yet available.
Quad is a required dependency and must be installed next to More Chests Variants on every loader. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, across 24 release versions, 1.19.2 – 26.2, under the MIT License, and the source code is open source.
Key features
Wood chests as fuel
Chests made from regular wood are accepted as fuel in a furnace, while nether wood chests are excluded.
Fire-resistant nether chests
Chests made from nether wood stay intact in fire and lava.
Chests in vanilla recipes
Any chest from the mod can be used where vanilla recipes call for a chest, such as a hopper.
Chests on companion pets
When a companion-pet mod with chest support is installed, pets can carry chests of the wood types the mod adds.

Use cases
Wood-themed storage
Builders can sort items into chests that match the wood of their structures, such as a birch storage room or a crimson vault.
Automated item sorting
Hoppers and other vanilla setups can take the mod's chests as input or output, so the same chests work in automated farms.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want storage that matches their builds, and server owners who want a wider choice of chests without changing the vanilla recipes.
