Orb Storage

by KoalaOnMC

Orb Storage is a Forge storage mod built around runes and orbs, where a pedestal acts as a terminal for items kept in orbs.

What it does

Orb Storage takes a magic-themed approach to storage, comparable in purpose to other item systems but built around orbs instead of machines or networks. Items are kept in orbs that can hold items with their NBT data and, through runes, can also keep entities. Each orb can carry up to four runes at a time, which change how it behaves.

A pedestal serves as the access point. Placing an orb on it turns the pedestal into a storage terminal, where the stored contents can be searched and sorted. The mod is built for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1, and the client and server both need it. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license and is not open source, so the code cannot be modified and redistributed under that license.

Files cover only 1.20.1, with 0.3-1.20.1 as the latest Forge build, first published on 2026-07-20 and last updated on 2026-08-15. Among the 1393 storage mods with Forge files for 1.20.1, this one is an alternative approach rather than a replacement for every storage system.

Key features

  1. Item storage with NBT

    Orbs keep items together with their NBT data, so stored items retain their properties.

  2. Runes on orbs

    Each orb holds up to four runes, which add magic-based behavior to the storage.

  3. Pedestal terminal

    Placing an orb on a pedestal makes it a terminal where the stored contents can be searched and sorted.

  4. Entity storage

    Runes allow orbs to hold entities as well as items.
