Sophisticated Storage
by P3pp3rF1y
Sophisticated Storage adds tiered Barrels, Chests and Shulker Boxes, with upgrades, colors and a multiblock controller for storage that players can build together.
What it does
Storage blocks come in several tiers, and Barrels and Chests are offered in every vanilla wood variant. Each block can be given two colors through the Decoration Table, and Barrels can take materials from other blocks to change their look. A set of upgrades adds functions to the storage blocks. Limited Barrels hold between one and four item slots, and their stack limits rise with the tier.
The Controller joins nearby storage blocks into one multiblock so players can manage them as a single storage. A Storage Link reaches blocks that are not adjacent to the Controller, and the Storage Tool links, locks and shows hidden properties such as tiers, counts and upgrades. Sophisticated Core is required, and Chipped, Crafting Tweaks, Item Borders, JEI, Quark, Sawmill and TrashSlot are optional. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge across 15 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.3, and is not open source under the All rights reserved license.
Key features
Color decoration
The Decoration Table applies two colors to a storage block with a preview of the result and a color picker.
Brush decoration
A brush item placed in the crafting slot sets colors or materials, and a right-click then decorates a storage block.
Multiblock controller
A Controller treats connected storage blocks as one unified storage, and a decoration applied to it reaches every linked block.
Storage Input
A single insertion slot lets items enter the multiblock without listing or extracting them, with a significant speed benefit.
