Expanded Storage Formerly Cursed Chest
This mod adds a few new types of chests which can be combined vertically or on both horizontal axis. Screenshots of all current chests can be found here. Yes this is essentially iron chests but for fabric ( and now forge too ), but I originally made the mod as a joke once the tall chest meme started.
Feedback
I currently have plans to remove obsidian tier storage blocks ( chests, old chests and barrels ) from the mod entirely replacing existing ones with netherite chests.
Note: Netherite chests have 27 more slots than obsidian chests.
This is something I am still debating however so if you'd like to give feedback you can do so using the following strawpoll ( pls no spam ):

Snapshots:
Please backup worlds before using them in snapshots as there may be mod issues, whilst I am going to try support snapshots I might not always have the time to release a build for each snapshot.
is there any way to change layout settings after choosing an option?
(both server and solo)
I chose to show everything on 1 screen thinking "whatever, how big is it gonna be", so...now I can't see part of my inventory and highest row in the chest.
In reply to rosecrime:
There is a chest settings button but it is positioned in the top right which is likely off screen in your case. So the easiest option would be to lower your gui scale and make the minecraft window bigger until you can see that settings button.
You could also edit the config manually in the "ninjaphenix-container-library.json" file but that requires a game restart.
Can be set to "expandedstorage:auto" to show the selection screen again.
Can you add a config option to always use the "old chests"?
The FastChest mod changes BER models to static models and it helps with performance, but it makes the standard expansion chests invisible.
In reply to x_Crypt_x:
I can fix the incompatibility with fast chests on my end... Fixed in https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/expanded-storage-fabric/files/3214308
For always using old chests that can be done using a datapack essentially you'd just have to disable my current recipes and substitute your own.
Alright, thank you. I'll stick with barrels lol.
Is there a way to disable the vertical chests?
In reply to aisacsson:
Not currently, however you can hold shift when placing a chest to prevent merging.
how would i go about removing the Metite harvest level for netherite barrels?
In reply to Mister_Ron:
The netherite barrels should require a netherite pickaxe, I'm guessing some mod pack is overriding the mining level required to mine my blocks, please go to them for support as there's no way I can help with this.
In reply to NinjaPhenix:
ok, i'll look into this, afaik Metite is from Astromine, i don't have Astromine in the pack hence the confusion my end
In reply to NinjaPhenix:
barrels are stating they require axe, not pickaxe, also ancient debris says harvest level obsidian (3), but netherite barrel is metite (4)... should it not also be level (3)?
is there a way to set the barrels to be harvestable at any level for the correct tool like the chests are? there seems to be inconsistency here
In reply to Mister_Ron:
1. Barrels should require an axe as they are mostly made of wood.
2. What is a netherite block's harvest level as that is what it should be based on ( which should be 4 )
3. No. But the Iron+ tier of chests should require a pickaxe...
In reply to NinjaPhenix:
i understand the thinking behind the barrel/axe requirement, a netherite block's harvest level is diamond (3). further research is pointing towards cimtb being the cause of the output issue, i really should have seen that coming
In a future update is it possible to add expanded shulkers to this mod, it would make sense since the mod is called expanded storage nothing specific about chest and you also added barrels so why not add shulkers as well.
In reply to lozt_boy1:
I do plan on adding shulkers however I'm currently rewriting the mod to be more modular so I can add new features easier.
In reply to NinjaPhenix:
Ah ok that's reasonable
Is this required on both the server and client? If no, are there any benefits to having it on both?
In reply to realsrnyx:
This mod adds blocks and items so yes it is required on both the server and client.
is the API for adding custom chests still in here?
In reply to Nathan22211:
Nope, I removed it quite a while ago however I am planning on reimplementing it in the form of kubejs integration, for custom chest tiers.
If you are a modder and don't want to use kube js for what ever reason let me know and I'll think about how I can implement a solution which doesn't require kubejs ( will likely either be a direct java api or custom datapack addon ).
