Frequently Asked Questions
Will you be creating a forge port of this mod? Eventually, yes, however I'm quite busy at the moment with other projects.
Congrats, now I'm stuck with Cursed Chests in my world, thanks a lot for not supporting the upgrades to newer versions without deleting everything
In reply to McDodge34:
I can make a version with everything changed over to using "Cursed Chests" instead If you would like. Either that or you could create a bunch of regular chests and put all items in there before updating, this is the last time I will be breaking world saves going forward though.
In reply to NinjaPhenix:
Once we installed the mod, we begin using your chests everywhere in every build cause lets be honest, vanilla chests don't store enough stuff, we have cascading chests for mass storage at most our spawners, upgrading to a newer version would mean we would need 100000 regular chests to store all the stuff we have, ok, maybe not that much, but a witch spawner giving us 2500 items an hour and we afk for 4 nights in a row there, we also have a wither rose machine in the end, that contains quite a lot of stuff in double diamond cursed chests to be exact.
I'm just curious to know if we would get any benefits at upgrading now that I'm thinking about it, usually we try to keep mods up to date to avoid future problems, we are running version 2.3.24 on Minecraft 1.14.4 I was hoping perhaps bigger shulker box or larger barrels, but if its not in your plans, the version we have might work, I'm just scared that if we want to upgrade our world to 1.15 when its released, we will be stuck cause we would need the newest version which would delete all our stuff to move to 1.15 once its officially released.
In reply to McDodge34:
Honestly it very much depends on how quickly we get access to datafixers in mods, I could look into implementing datafixers myself in expanded storage in the near future depending on how much free time I get with university starting back up. I will likely get data fixers implemented (even if I code it) before 1.15 officially releases.
The only new feature in the 3.4.x version is full cube chests, they just occupy the whole block like the old beta chests use to. Which honestly I wouldn't upgrade to if it meant I lost all my items either.
I could easily repurpose some of the current code used in full cube chests to have large barrels in the mod so I'll bundle these in with slab / stair chests.
Metal / Higher capacity shulkers will be implemented in the future, when however is yet to be determined since I already have the next two major updates already planned.
Do you have any ideas of implementing stair chests, chest slabs (Both vertical and side) or some ability to make chests like this
?
In reply to Tru3C0r3:
Chests like the one in the screenshot are planned for a future update but will take a long while before they are actually added. Stair chests are also planned and Slab chests / chest slabs I'll add to my long todo list ( which can be found here: https://github.com/NinjaPhenix/ExpandedStorage/projects/2 )
perhaps an upgraded version of the cursed chest that lets you combine 8 chests in a 2x2x2 cube to make the fat chest
In reply to NyanMinecrafter:
Added this to my ever growing todo list, not sure how exactly, or when it will be implemented.
In reply to NinjaPhenix:
perhaps placing 8 chests in a cube and shift right clicking one of the corners with a special tool could do it
In some update, could they be put on animals?In reply to jackcamilo406:
I'll likely won't be adding the ability to put the chests on animals but I do plan on implementing backpacks at some point.
You should add a config option to replace the vanilla chest recipe so it makes a cursed chest!
In reply to daveyl2013:
You can create a datapack to do that afaik, since you can mess with recipes in datapacks
What exactly are cursed chests? I have used the iron chests mod but what is the difference between that and this mod?
In reply to winstormer:
I've basically just made them be able to merge horizontally and vertically, also theres a search bar that works but I'd like to change it functionality.
Also this mod only works with fabric and isn't availiable for forge.
In reply to winstormer:
if you are unfamiliar with the joke, the chests are made to look bizarre, an give you the feeling saying "that's just not right", and so they do this by making tall chests. People call it cursed, do to it being unnatural, and also the word cursed just adds a level of exaggeration.
is it possible to get pictures or gifs of these combinations. I'm curious to see the vertical combining in particular
In reply to Irritumerus:
Theres an Image of verticle and single chests here: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/cursed-chests/screenshots, I'll update it soon with more images of the other two types (horizontal and long).
In reply to NinjaPhenix:
thank you
I would love the regular cursed chest to have the old "full block" texture of vanilla chests. For when I don't want to see my hoppers/redstone under or behind my chests.
