This mod adds improved barrels with different tiers.

Upgrade your storage without tearing it down. Improved Barrels adds a clean tiered progression for barrels, from Copper all the way to Netherite, with in‑world upgrades.

Compatibility

Forge (1.20.1).
Sorting mods;
Tinkers’ Construct Crafting Station.

This mod has no dependencies beyond Forge.

Servers: Install on both server and clients (new blocks/items). Existing worlds are safe; upgrading placed barrels is in‑place and lossless.

FAQ

Q: Do upgrades drop items or scramble slots?
A: No. When a barrel is upgraded, all items inside it stay untouched.

Q: Do I need Tinkers’ Construct?
A: No. The TCon support is optional. Everything works fine without it.

Q: Can I use this in a modpack?
A: Yes, modpacks are welcome. Please link back to this page.

Q: Client or server?
A: Both sides should have the mod installed!
