Storage Bookshelves
by pcal43
Storage Bookshelves lets players store items in bookshelves by placing a renamed barrel next to a bookshelf, and it runs on the server alone.
What it does
A barrel is given a custom name that matches a bookshelf, then placed beside that bookshelf. The barrel can then be hidden behind a wall so the bookshelves look like ordinary decoration, and the storage works without changing how the bookshelves appear. The mod adds new blocks to the world for this purpose.
The mod is built for Fabric and targets 1.19.2 only, with a single build published as 0.0.1+1.19.2. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. It is released under the MIT License, and the project is open source with public source code and an issue tracker. Configuration uses a default config file, and the instructions for changing it are in the project documentation.
Key features
Storage in bookshelves
Bookshelves become a place to store items, so extra inventory can sit inside a decorative build.
Renamed barrel link
A barrel renamed to match a bookshelf connects to it, and the linked barrel holds the stored items.
Hidden storage
A barrel can sit behind a wall next to the bookshelves, so the storage stays out of sight.
Vanilla-friendly blocks
New blocks are added to the world while the vanilla bookshelf and barrel behave as expected.
