Tom's Simple Storage Mod
by tom5454
Tom's Simple Storage Mod adds storage blocks, a terminal and item connectors that let players reach chests across a base from one screen.
What it does
The mod groups storage into a network. A storage terminal shows the items held by connected chests, and an inventory connector links a container so its contents join that list. Open crate and an inventory transfer block move items in and out of containers, and filtered connectors restrict which items pass through them. A wireless terminal lets a player open the network from a distance.
Players and the server both need the mod, since it runs on client and server. Its files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, across 34 release versions covering 1.15.2 – 26.3, and the source code is available under the MIT License. Cloth Config API is bundled inside the mod, so it needs no separate install. Snapshot builds are also published. Terminals also work on contraptions when Create Contraption Terminals is installed.
Key features
Storage and crafting terminal
One terminal lists the items held by connected storage and can craft from them without moving items by hand.
Inventory connector
A connector links a container to the network so its contents become available to the terminal.
Open crate
An open crate block stores items and joins the network like other storage in the system.
Wireless terminal
A portable terminal opens the storage network from any distance, without standing next to a terminal block.
Filtered connectors and transfer blocks
Filtered connectors and an inventory transfer block control which items move between a container and the network.

Use cases
Central storage
A base can route items from many chests to one terminal, so players search one list instead of opening each container.
Contraption terminals
With Create Contraption Terminals installed, terminals also work on contraptions.
Who it’s for: Players who keep many chests in a base and server owners who want shared storage on a multiplayer world.
How it compares
Inventory Storages runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.21.1 – 26.3 and has a proprietary license, so its files are not open source. Assorted Storage covers 1.18.2 – 26.2 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. Create - Tom's Simple Storage Recipes is server required with an optional client and is published for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, so it adds recipes without needing a client install.
