📖 About Balanced Crates: This mod adds new vanilla-friendly crate blocks. Crates have large amounts of storage compared to single chests. Crates can also be used as building blocks/decorations. Crates are designed to be vanilla-friendly chest alternatives that allow compact storage. Crates come in every wood type.
📦Storage Applications: While a single chest has 27 slots, crates have 60 slots of inventory space! This allows for highly compacted storage. Right-clicking on a create will manually open it, allowing any player to take from, it's inventory, A player will be able to tell if a create is open when the top lid is removed. A crate can be closed by pressing the "Close Crate" button within the crate's GUI.
🏠Decorative Applications: Crates can easily be used as decorative blocks in many situations. a crate's texture is based upon what wood type is used to craft it, giving the player more option when building with wood. A crate can also be rotated much like a furnace, allowing the player to create patterns. A crate's open state can also be used in many ways.
🔌Redstone Applications: Being storage blocks, crates can be used in place of a chest in any redstone situation where a chest might be needed. This allows for higher amounts of storage and enables the player to make much more compact machines.
