Wan's Storage Shelves
by WanMine
Wan's Storage Shelves adds shelves and cardboard boxes for organizing items in a base, with storage blocks that fit into the look of a build.
What it does
Shelf blocks hold items in a GUI, and cardboard boxes can be placed on the shelves. A single box holds 25 slots, two boxes give 49 slots and three give 59 slots, so a shelf can grow as a player's collection does. A large cardboard box is also available for bulk storage, and the shelves come in a wood type that matches common builds.
The mod suits players who want tidy storage in a styled base instead of a row of plain chests. Its modular layout lets a player start with one box and add more as needed. Wan's Storage Shelves is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only, and it runs on the server alone, so players can join a server running it without installing anything. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Smart stacking is part of how items are arranged across the boxes.
Key features

Wood-type shelves
