VXL Studios: Metal Storage Barrels

Functional Furniture

Functional Furniture breathes new life into Hytale’s decorative furniture by turning it into fully functional storage blocks. Wardrobes, shelves, and bookshelves are no longer just visual details—they now serve a real purpose, allowing you to store items directly within them.

In vanilla gameplay, furniture helps define the atmosphere of a build but offers little interaction. This mod bridges the gap between aesthetics and gameplay, making interiors feel lived-in, practical, and immersive.

🪑 Functional & Immersive Storage

Supported furniture items now act as physical, world-based storage containers. Items are stored inside the furniture itself, reinforcing realism and consistency.

Wardrobes feel like a natural place to store armor and gear
Shelves provide convenient storage for tools and materials
Bookshelves finally function as proper storage within libraries and study rooms

Break the furniture, and its contents behave exactly as you’d expect, maintaining survival balance.

📦 Storage Capacities

Each furniture item has a carefully balanced storage capacity designed to feel vanilla-friendly while remaining useful.

Wardrobe: 36 slots
Royal Wardrobe: 54 slots
Bookshelves: 9 slots
Shelves: 5 slots

These values encourage decorative storage without replacing dedicated storage blocks.

🏠 Built for Builders & Roleplayers

Functional Furniture is ideal for players who value detail, immersion, and thoughtful design. Instead of hiding storage behind rows of generic containers, you can now integrate storage directly into your builds without sacrificing style.
