No Chest
by No Mods
No Chest removes the chest block from the game, so players cannot craft or place one anywhere in the world.
What it does
The mod deletes regular chests, trapped chests and chest minecarts, and it also removes chest-related generation: loot chests in structures no longer spawn, and villagers do not use chests either. Storage has to rely on other blocks, such as barrels and shulker boxes, which stay allowed and can carry everything a chest would have held. It is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.10 and runs on the server, while clients may leave it out. Files are released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Chests removed from crafting
Players cannot craft a chest, so storage has to come from other containers that stay available.
Barrels and shulker boxes remain
Barrels and shulker boxes are still available as storage and can hold everything a chest would have.
Harder survival
With chests gone, inventory management becomes more stressful and exploration carries more risk in the early game.

Without chests, players have to store items with barrels, shulkers (if allowed), or carry everything. It makes…
