Uncharted Upgrades
by Oxcidius
Uncharted Upgrades adds a Copper-to-Netherite progression that lets players upgrade chests, barrels, shulker boxes, bundles, hoppers and furnace-type blocks in place.
What it does
Each block and bundle moves through five tiers, Copper, Iron, Gold, Diamond and Netherite. Upgrades are applied with a smithing table, or by Shift and right-clicking directly on placed blocks. Upgrade conversion kits let a player jump an object straight to a chosen higher tier instead of stepping through each one.
Higher tiers give larger storage inventories, higher-capacity bundles and faster batch-transferring hoppers, while cooking blocks keep vanilla fuel efficiency. Chests of the higher tiers join into double chests under the same placement rules vanilla uses, and items in the Netherite tier resist fire. The mod runs on Fabric and NeoForge and needs Fabric API on Fabric. It is open source under the MIT License, and the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.21.11, 26.1.2 and 26.2, with 0.1.6+26.2 as the latest build on both loaders, dated 2026-07-02.
