General Storage

This chapter covers most of the basic ways to store your items!

Your inventory is going to get full pretty quick. It is modded MC after all. The solution is to make a Sophisticated Backpack. These Backpacks provide a simple solution to your inventory problems! They can also be upgraded to hold even more items, and have tons of cool upgrades to help you in your adventures, like the Crafting Upgrade for a portable crafting table. You can place these in a Curio Slot as well for easy access using a keybind. These can also be placed down in the world by Sneak + Right-clicking while it's in your main hand.

Asks for: Backpack

Backpacks can also be dyed! This is useful for color-coding your backpacks, or if you just want to look really cool with a black backpack on.

Inventory management is pretty important, and that's what Pocket Storage is for! These devices will automatically pickup items that you collect based on what is placed inside of them. This is perfect for keeping your inventory clear of cobblestone on your mining trips. Note: These will automatically void excess items, meaning once you've collected the stack limit, those items will be voided. Upgrade the tier to store more at once!

Asks for: Pocket Storage Unit Tier: 1, Pocket Storage Unit Tier: 2, Pocket Storage Unit Tier: 3, Pocket Storage Unit Tier: 4

To make any of the upgrades for your backpack, you'll first need to craft an Upgrade Base. There are a ton of useful upgrades you can make, like Stack Upgrades to increase the slot stack limit for storing tons of items, or the Feeding Upgrade that can automatically feed you when you are hungry! Make sure to check them all out!

Asks for: Upgrade Base

Ender Storage allows for cross-dimensional storage of items and fluids. Ender Chests link their inventories to others with matching color patterns. You can use any colored dye on the wool pads to change its color. Ender Pouches allow you to remotely access an Ender Chest of the same color pattern. Right-clicking the pouch on any Ender Chest will change the pouch's color to match that of the chest. Ender Tanks work in the same way as Ender Chests but store liquids instead of items. Using a Diamond on the latch of an Ender Chest will move it to a separate private network for the player that used the diamond. This is especially good for server use.

Asks for: Ender Chest, Ender Pouch, Ender Tank

You can increase the overall storage size of a backpack by upgrading it to the next tier! From the basic backpack, you can upgrade to either Copper or Iron. Upgrading to Copper first allows you to save iron, as you only need 4 Iron Ingots to upgrade from Copper. Each tier also allows for more Upgrade Slots!

Asks for: Copper Backpack, Diamond Backpack, Gold Backpack, Iron Backpack, Netherite Backpack

Stack Upgrades multiply the stack size of each slot in a backpack. These are super useful for storing tons of the same types of items! When combined with other upgrades like Tank or Battery upgrades, these also increase the overall storage limit of those upgrades as well.

Asks for: Stack Upgrade Omega Tier, Stack Upgrade Starter Tier, Stack Upgrade Tier 1, Stack Upgrade Tier 2, Stack Upgrade Tier 3, Stack Upgrade Tier 4

Hate having to run to a crafting table to craft things? Make a Crafting Upgrade! This upgrade will add a crafting table to your backpack inventory to craft on the go. You can also make the Stonecutter or Anvil upgrades to provide those tables as well!

Asks for: Anvil Upgrade, Crafting Upgrade, Stonecutter Upgrade

Sophisticated Storage allows you to create and upgrade your chests, barrels, and more! These Storages can hold even more items, hold fluids, or even automate certain tasks like smelting down ores. To start out, you can craft a Sophisticated Chest or Sophisticated Barrel by combining the vanilla item with a redstone torch. If you've already placed down your storage in the world, you can craft the Basic Tier Upgrade and use it on the storage to upgrade it.

Asks for: Basic Tier Upgrade

Just like Sophisticated Backpacks, you can upgrade your storage to the different metal tiers. This can be done by making a Basic To Iron upgrade and using it on your storage in the world. Note: You can also upgrade to the higher tiers from the basic tier as well!

Asks for: Basic to Diamond Tier Upgrade, Basic to Gold Tier Upgrade, Basic to Iron Tier Upgrade, Basic to Netherite Tier Upgrade

Functional Drawers is a storage mod that aims to provide an easy solution to storing tons of items in a single block! Drawers come in three varieties: Single Drawers, 1x2 Drawers, and 2x2 Drawers. While a 2x2 drawer can store 4 separate items, the total base storage amount is also divided by 4. To place an item in, simply right-click on the Drawer with the item. Double Right-clicking will deposit multiple stacks at a time. To remove items from a Drawer, Left-clicking it will remove 1 item at a time, while Sneak + Left-clicking will pull out a full stack.

Don't like the look of Drawers? Make Framed Drawers instead! These drawers can be crafted together with other items to change the look of the drawer to your liking. Each slot in the crafting table corresponds to a specific texture on the drawer. - 1st Slot: Outside Texture - 2nd Slot: Inside Texture - 3rd Slot: Framed Drawer - 4th Slot: Divider Texture

Asks for: Framed Compacting Drawer, Framed Drawer (1x1), Framed Drawer (1x2), Framed Drawer (2x2), Framed Simple Compacting Drawer

When setting up automation, pushing and pulling items into Drawers can get complicated. That's where the Storage Tools come in! The Configuration Tool is used to lock Drawers to only interact with certain items. This is super useful when you are constantly pulling or pushing items from Drawers! Pro Tip: If you've connected Drawers to a Storage Controller, you can use the Configuration Tool on the Controller to lock all of the Drawers that are linked, all at once! You can also sneak-use the tool in the air to change modes. There are several modes that you can configure for drawers, like hiding the count amount or disabling the render of items on a Drawer to save FPS.

Asks for: Configuration Tool

If you plan on creating a Drawer Wall, you'll need to make the Linking Tool! The Linking Tool is used to link drawers to a Storage Controller, or to link separate Ender Drawers together. For more on how to use it, check the next page! By default, this tool is set to link a single drawer at a time. To do this, first sneak-use the tool on a Controller, then use the tool on the drawer you wish to add to the Controller's network. You'll also see the range that the Controller can reach when you hover over it with the tool in hand. This can be upgraded with Storage Upgrades! While looking into the air, using the tool will switch between adding or removing drawers. If you sneak-use the tool in the air, it will switch between adding a single drawer at a time, or multiple!

Asks for: Linking Tool

Storage Controllers allow you to connect and interact with several drawers at once. These are amazing for automating items going in and out of your drawer system! Once you've linked your drawers to the controller using the Linking Tool, you can double right-click the controller to deposit all items from your inventory directly into the drawer network! This also means you can pipe in items into the controller as well. Controller Access Points can be used as extra controllers as long as it is linked to the main controller.

Asks for: Controller Access Point, Framed Controller Access Point, Framed Storage Controller, Storage Controller

These Drawer Generators can be extremely helpful for generating water, lava, and obsidian.

Functional Storage can also handle storing fluids using Fluid Drawers! You can pump fluids directly into the drawer to set it, or just by using a bucket of the fluid onto the drawer.

Asks for: Fluid Drawer (1x1), Fluid Drawer (1x2), Fluid Drawer (2x2)

Just like Ender Chests, Ender Drawers will store items that can be accessed across dimensions. To do this, you'll need 2 Ender Drawers linked together using the Linking Tool. Left-click the Linking Tool onto the top of the first Ender Drawer to grab the frequency of the drawer. Next, place down another Ender Drawer where you'd like to use it, and then sneak-use the Linking Tool to set the frequency of the drawer.

Asks for: Ender Drawer

You are probably tired of picking up SO MUCH COBBLE when you are out on your mining trips. Why not make a Void Upgrade to help get rid of them? By itself, this upgrade can be set up to automatically void specific items that you set inside of its filter. Upgrading to the Advanced version allows for more filtering options!

Asks for: Advanced Void Upgrade, Void Upgrade

Making Pickup and Magnet upgrades can allow the backpack to pick up items for you while out on your adventures. You can also set the backpack to only pick up certain items using the filter settings for the upgrade! While this is great for mining adventures, you can also use the Magnet upgrades to automate farms by placing the backpack down in the world!

Limited Barrels function like Drawers from Functional Storage. These Barrels can only hold up to 4 types of items, but will hold several stacks of each. The amount of item types it can hold depends on the type of Limited Barrel you craft, with I holding a single item type, and IV holding 4 item types.

Asks for: Limited Barrel 1, Limited Barrel 2, Limited Barrel 3, Limited Barrel 4

By default, drawers can only hold a base amount of items depending on their size. You can upgrade this with these upgrades! For example, a standard Drawer that holds one type of item can hold up to around 2,000 items for the base amount. Each upgrade multiplies the total storage amount, meaning the upgrades stack. Most drawers can hold 4 Inventory Size Upgrades of any tier. Pro Tip: You can also place these inside of a Storage Controller to increase the linking range.

Asks for: Copper Upgrade, Diamond Upgrade, Gold Upgrade, Netherite Upgrade

By default, you can't place a backpack into another backpack. You can get around this by installing an Inception Upgrade! "Yo dawg, I heard you like backpacks, so we put a backpack in your backpack so you can store more items while you store items!"

Asks for: Inception Upgrade

Moving chests has always been a pain. But not anymore! Packing Tape allows you to pack up Sophisticated chests for you to easily move them. Use the packing tape on it first, then break it to get the chest as a single item. Once you've placed it down, the tape will disappear! Note: Chests with Stack Upgrades will need to be packed up first before moving.

Asks for: Packing Tape

Instead of storing Iron Nuggets, Ingots, and Blocks in 3 separate drawers, you can store them all in a Compacting Drawer. These are special drawers that store and convert items directly into their compressed versions. This is useful for items like Iron or Gold to easily convert back and forth! With Simple Compacting Drawers, you can store items that only use a base and block recipe. This is great for items like Redstone, Diamonds, and Emeralds!

Asks for: Compacting Drawer, Simple Compacting Drawer

To craft any of the upgrades, you'll need to make an Upgrade Base.

Just like the same upgrade for backpacks, the Void Upgrade is probably one of the most useful upgrades that you can install. This allows you to void specific items that go into the chest, and comes with a filter that can do some pretty awesome stuff. You could even set the filter to void everything from a certain mod!

Asks for: Advanced Void Upgrade, Void Upgrade

This is one of the essential upgrades for your chests! The Stack Upgrade increases the stack limit for each slot inside of the chest. These upgrades are also much cheaper than the Sophisticated Backpack upgrades.

If you plan on using Drawers for storing the massive amount of items you'll get from farms or quarries, you'll need a backup plan just in case your storage gets a little full. The Void Upgrade is a utility upgrade that automatically voids items above the current stack limit. This is super useful for things like voiding excess cobblestone from quarries!

Asks for: Void Upgrade

If you want to connect and create all of your storage into a single network, this can easily be done by making the Storage Controller. Any storage container that is placed next to the Controller will automatically link to it. This allows you to item dump by right-clicking or sneak-right-clicking on the Controller for easy inventory management! Placing storage next to anything that is linked to the Controller will also add it to the network as well, like a big multiblock chest! You can make Storage Links to connect any storage container that might be separate from your main storage hub, and can use the Storage Tool to link them up to the Controller!
