Remote Chests
by Pepsied
Remote Chests moves items from source chests to destination chests across distances and dimensions, using ender pearls and paper as labelled links.
What it does
Items placed in a source chest are teleported to the destination chest that shares its channel. Each channel is set up by placing an ender pearl item for the source and a paper item for the destination, then renaming both with an anvil to the same name. Several source and destination chests can share one channel, and items from each source go to the nearest destination on that channel. Transport works across dimensions too, but the source and destination chests must be in loaded chunks to function.
The mod is server required, with the client optional, so players can join a server running it without installing anything. Remote Chests is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the Data pack option is listed for server platforms. Builds cover 1.21.2 – 26.2, with 1.0.0 for 26.2 as the latest file, first published and last updated on 2025-02-22.
Key features
Channel-based item transport
Source and destination chests are linked by a shared channel name set through an anvil on matching ender pearl and paper items.
Nearest destination routing
Items from a source chest go to the closest destination chest on the same channel, which allows several chests per channel.
Timed transfer
Each transfer moves one stack or slot every 8 ticks, and overflow is handled so a full destination does not cause loss.
Cross-dimension links
Channels can connect chests in different dimensions as long as both chests sit in loaded chunks.

How it compares
Public Transport Mod is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 that moves players and vehicles rather than items, and it is client and server with MIT License. Eternal Pearl is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later and is server required with the client optional, covering 1.21.4 – 26.3 across all four loaders. Both are about ender pearls or transport, but neither handles item chests.

What the author says
Ender pearl (source) chests are chests that transport items to the paper (destination) chests on a given item channel. The name given to the ender pearl and paper will be the item channel. This is how you specify where exactly you want the items to go. This way, you can have multiple instances of remote chests.
