DeepNull Reforged (Dank Null) [NeoForge/Fabric]

A custom inventory solution to place, store, and manage items and fluids. Forked from /dank/null originally made by p455w0rd.

Description

A modern NeoForge port and expansion of /dank/null by p455w0rd, rebuilt for Minecraft 1.21.1.

DeepNull Reforged keeps the original fast-access storage concept, then pushes it further with modern automation support, fluid handling, JEI integration, upgrades, configuration, in-game documentation, and a full companion fluid variant called the DampNull.

What it does

DeepNull

  • Adds DeepNulls from Redstone through Creative.
  • Each DeepNull stores huge amounts of items across a number of slots based on its tier.
  • Stored blocks, items, buckets, food, and other right-click items can be used directly from the DeepNull.
  • Stored blocks can be selected through the GUI or with Shift + Scroll Wheel and placed directly from the item with a live preview.
  • Pick Block support can select matching stored materials from the DeepNull.
  • DeepNulls automatically absorb matching items if that item already exists inside.
  • JEI crafting transfer can pull ingredients from carried DeepNulls.

Per-slot behavior includes:

  • extraction rules
  • placement rules
  • tag matching
  • selection
  • slot reordering
  • custom minimum extraction amounts

DampNull

  • Adds DampNulls, a dedicated fluid-storage counterpart to the DeepNull.
  • DampNulls store multiple fluids at once in internal tanks.
  • Fluids can be selected, placed into the world, and picked back up directly from source blocks.
  • DampNulls support transfer with compatible fluid inventories and tanks.
  • Optional Mekanism support allows DampNulls to work with compatible chemical storage and transfer.
  • DampNulls support generator-style and utility upgrades that expand them beyond simple tank storage.

Docking Station

  • Adds a Docking Station that can hold either a DeepNull or DampNull.
  • Supports standard NeoForge capability-based automation for:
    • item transfer
    • fluid transfer
    • FE transfer
    • chemical transfer when the installed Null supports it
  • Works with universal piping and storage systems that respect standard handlers.

Upgrades

DeepNulls and DampNulls support a growing upgrade system, including:

  • Filter Upgrade
  • Bucket Upgrade
  • Energy Upgrade
  • Deep Energy Upgrade
  • Chemical Upgrade
  • Auto-Feeding Upgrade
  • Auto-Smelting Upgrade
  • Basic Compression Upgrade
  • Advanced Compression Upgrade
  • Stone Generator
  • Obsidian Generator
  • Sponge Upgrade
  • Stoneworks Upgrade
  • Ender Upgrade

These upgrades allow features like:

  • whitelist / blacklist filtering
  • using stored buckets and fluid containers directly from a DeepNull
  • FE storage and charging
  • automatic eating from stored food
  • automatic smelting of supported world pickups
  • automatic 2x2 and 3x3 compression recipes
  • fluid and chemical transfer support
  • passive material generation and stone-processing automation
  • linked storage mirroring through the Ender Upgrade

Null Workbench and Synchronizer

  • Adds the Null Workbench, a dedicated utility station for crafting, syncing, and styling Nulls.
  • Workbench recipes provide alternate progression paths for DeepNull tiers, DampNull tiers, panels, and support items.
  • The style tab allows frame and glass recoloring while preserving normal tier defaults until the item is actually customized.
  • The sync tab works with the Synchronizer to back up and restore Null configuration.

JEI / QoL / Automation

  • JEI recipe transfer support for 2x2 and 3x3 crafting
  • JEI workbench recipe transfer support for the Null Workbench
  • Recipe transfer can use ingredients from carried DeepNulls
  • Shift + Right Click transfer can push to and pull from compatible inventories and tanks
  • Includes configurable transfer locking, hotkeys, and multiple client/common/server config options
  • AE2-aware transfer support
  • Optional GuideME support for in-game documentation

Tier notes

  • Lower tiers hold smaller amounts per slot.
  • Higher tiers dramatically increase capacity.
  • Creative-tier Nulls are effectively infinite utility tools.
