Unified Storage
by Astero
Unified Storage links chests and other storage blocks into one network, so items can be reached through a single controller instead of many cables.
What it does
A network card joins storage blocks to a Storage Controller, which exposes their contents through a wireless controller, a crafting grid and a search screen. Storage from other mods, including furnaces and storages added by mods in other dimensions, can be linked as well. The network works across dimensions, so storage far from the base stays reachable.
Only the server needs the mod's logic while players need it too, since the environment is client and server: both the server and every player must run it. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Forge is the only loader, with files for Minecraft 1.20.2 and 1.20.4; the latest is 0.10.1-BETA for 1.20.4, a beta release from 2024-04-08. The mod was first published on 2023-11-27.
