Stone Chest in FTB StoneBlock 4

Stone Chest adds chests made from stone-type blocks instead of wood. The idea is simple: if you need storage but have no wood on you, you can still make a chest.^[1]

There are chest variants for a big range of blocks. They cover the stone family (Stone, Smooth Stone, Cobblestone, Mossy Cobblestone and the stone brick types), the deepslate family (Deepslate, Cobbled Deepslate, the bricks and tiles, and Chiseled Deepslate), and the tuff, basalt and blackstone families. Andesite, Diorite and Granite and their polished versions are covered too, as are Calcite, Dripstone, Prismarine, Prismarine Bricks and Dark Prismarine.^[1]

In this pack

This pack ships Stone Chest 1.3.0, built for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1. It has been in the pack since 1.0.0 or earlier.^[2]

Unverified The sources here do not show where the pack's quest book places Stone Chest: no chapter, group or neighbouring quests, and no use on the ATM Star path. This guide therefore does not place the mod in the quest book.

Same as in the FTB StoneBlock 4 1.21.0 guide

Stone Chest gives you vanilla-style chests made from stone-type blocks, so you can set up storage even when you have no wood on you. The styles include Cobblestone, Stone, Deepslate, Tuff, Prismarine and Blackstone, plus polished, cracked, mossy and chiseled variants.^[1]

Make the part first

You don't craft a chest straight from the stone block. Each style has its own part item, and the chest recipe takes that matching part. A good place to start is the Cobblestone Part, since Cobblestone is usually the easiest stone to get.^[3]

The part for a Cobblestone Chest, shown as a mod recipe in the pack data.

Then craft the chest

With the part in hand, craft the matching chest. For the example above, that gives you a Cobblestone Chest.^[3]

Picking a style

Every other style follows the same pattern: a part for that stone type, then a chest from that part. If you want a smoother look, try the Smooth Stone Part and then the Smooth Stone Chest.^[3]

Stone Chest adds stone-themed variations of the vanilla chest, so you can store items even when you have no wood on you. The sources here describe the chests, how you craft them and what they drop when broken. They don't describe any machines, power, fluids or multiblocks for this mod.^[1]

Part first, then chest

In this pack there are 40 shaped crafting recipes that turn a vanilla stone-type block into a part, and 40 more that turn each part into the finished chest. So you always make the part first, then the chest. Andesite is a good example: you craft an Andesite Part and then use it to make an Andesite Chest.^[4]

Then the chest, made from that part.

The same pattern covers the other variants, for example Calcite Chest and Chiseled Tuff Chest.^[4]

Polished chests via sandpaper

The pack adds its own Create sandpaper polishing recipes for Stone Chest. They turn an existing chest into its polished version. They cover the andesite, basalt, blackstone, deepslate, diorite, granite and tuff chests. For example, Andesite Chest becomes Polished Andesite Chest.^[4]

Sandpaper Polishing (create)

• Andesite Chest

Recipe id: create_dragons_plus:sandpaper_polishing/stonechest/chest_andesite

One of the polishing recipes added by the pack. The others in the list above follow the same idea.

What happens when you break one

The chest loot tables available here, such as those for the Andesite Chest, Basalt Chest, Blackstone Chest and Calcite Chest, all work the same way. Breaking the chest drops that same chest as an item, and it keeps its custom name if you renamed it. The drop also depends on the chest surviving an explosion.^[5][6][7][8]

Stone Chest doesn't have a tier ladder in this pack. Every chest is a stone-type variant of the same idea, and the recipes show no upgrade chain where one chest is crafted into the next. Each chest is made directly from its own part, so you can go straight for the look you want.^[4]

Part first, then chest

The pack has 40 chest recipes and 40 part recipes, all shaped crafting. The chest recipe takes only the matching part, and the part recipe takes the matching stone block. Here's the pattern using the Andesite Chest.^[4]

Then turn the part into the chest.

The same steps apply across the whole range, from the Cobblestone Chest and Deepslate Chest to the Dark Prismarine Chest and Chiseled Tuff Bricks Chest. Only the stone block you start with changes.^[4]

Polishing with Create (added by the pack)

This part is the pack's own addition. It adds Create sandpaper polishing recipes that turn some chests into their polished versions, so you can polish a chest you already have instead of crafting the polished one from scratch.^[4]

• Andesite Chest into Polished Andesite Chest^[4]
• Basalt Chest into Polished Basalt Chest^[4]
• Blackstone Chest into Polished Blackstone Chest^[4]
• Deepslate Chest into Polished Deepslate Chest^[4]
• Diorite Chest into Polished Diorite Chest^[4]
• Granite Chest into Polished Granite Chest^[4]
• Tuff Chest into Polished Tuff Chest^[4]

Polished Andesite ChestAdded by the pack

Sandpaper Polishing (create)

• Andesite Chest

Recipe id: create_dragons_plus:sandpaper_polishing/stonechest/chest_andesite

The Andesite Chest as an example of the polishing route.

The polished chests also keep their normal part-then-chest recipes, so polishing is an extra route and not the only one. The recipe dump shows polishing only for the chests listed above, so the other variants, such as the cracked, mossy and chiseled ones, are made through the part route.^[4]

Breaking and moving chests

The loot tables I could check for the Andesite, Basalt, Blackstone, Calcite, Chiseled Deepslate, Chiseled Polished Blackstone, Chiseled Stone Bricks, Chiseled Tuff, Chiseled Tuff Bricks and Cobbled Deepslate chests all work the same way. The broken chest drops itself and keeps any custom name you gave it, as long as it survives an explosion.^{[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]}

Stone Chest 1.3.0 is the version in FTB StoneBlock 4 1.22.0. The mod has been in the pack since 1.0.0 or earlier, so it's a long-time part of the modpack.^[2]

Mod releases

• 1.0.0: the NeoForge port for Minecraft 1.21.1 to 1.21.2.^[15]
• 1.3.0: fixed the missing Stone and Smooth Stone chests. This is the version your pack runs.^[2][16]

I don't have any pack changelog entries for this mod, so I can't tell you which pack releases updated it along the way. The mod's own changelogs above are the only history I can confirm.^[2]
