Linked storage allows you to link your inventories together.
By applying a dye to the dye-able pads on top of the chest you can specify the "channel" that chest is linked to. All other Storage Blocks with the same dye pattern will share the same inventory. Storage Blocks are compatible with hoppers and most other forms of "pipes"
Right clicking on a chest while holding a diamond will turn the chest into a personal dye channel chest. Personal dye channel's are unique to you.
Crafting a Handheld storage will allow you to access the inventories remotely. The dye channel will be copied to the Handheld storage when crafting. Right clicking on a Storage Block will copy the dye channel to your Handheld storage
Linked Storage now by default includes a resourcepack that can be enabled to use textures from the original EnderStorage! Thanks to https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/texture-packs/enderstorage-for-fabric
Huge thanks to Samo Lego for creating the textures!
Having a slight issue with the diamond lock. As I understood, it would make the combination unique to me, i.e. private and everyone would see their own version of that combination. However some people on the server have notified me that they can see my chest contents when they open it.
The diamond doesn't make the contents inaccessible. It just gives each player a unique set of color combinations that can't interfere with other players' chests or the default combinations. If someone finds your chests, they can still open and move them, use hoppers to move items in and out, and I would guess also link them up with the handheld storage.
This is probably one my favorite mods out there! One thing I would ask is, could this work with Tweakeroo or ShulkerBoxTooltip? It would be exceptional to glance into the contents of the various linked storage(s).
is there a forge version of this? Trying to find a replacement for ender storage...
I and the people on my server absolutely love this mod. Which means there are hundreds of linked storage chests and bags used across our server to transport materials between farms and storage areas.
When testing the ramifications of updating our current 1.17.1 world to 1.18.1, the fact that Mojang updated the format of the region files means that all the mod specific NBT data for these chests is lost. Upon entering the world, all chests are invisible, but can be found by their selection outline. Once interacted with, they become visible again, but default to the white, white, white dye channel.
I know this might be more of a "Mojang is breaking the mods" issue, but if there isn't something that can be done to account for this from the mod perspective, we may have to abandon a world that we have specifically been building in for the last year with the intention of updating the surrounding regions for 1.18.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if there is an obvious solution, I would gladly stand corrected.
In reply to peharbison:
Glad you guys are all using and enjoying the mod!
The chests may all default back to WWW, but if you re dye them the contents should still be there. The inventory is not saved in the Block entities themselves, but rather the world.
I have not tired it, but this is a mod to fix the BEs when updating to 1.18. Install this before the first time you load the world in 1.18.

In reply to Kyrptonaught:
Yeah, the contents weren't the big concern, it's the fact that none of the players want to spend the first few hours on the 1.18 world fixing all the dye channels...
I will certainly have a look at that mod later today, and let you know. Thanks!
UPDATE: Just wanted to confirm that this worked perfectly!
World copied from a 1.17.1 Fabric instance to a newly setup 1.18.1 Fabric instance, pruned the regions that we wanted to regenerate with the new world gen, and included the jar file linked above in the mods directory.
Initial startup logged every block entity that was detected and preserved, and logging into the world verified that all mod container entities had preserved both their state data (dyechannel in this case) as well as item content.
How do you link inventories?
I must be missing something, I can't find the recipe to craft this in survival. What are the ingredients so I can trigger the recipe? I know it works, because I can make them in creative and they function but I prefer to play survival.
I just have to ask. Is this lag friendlier than a dropper elevator, i'm thinking i can just have one of these at the botom and then the same color combination at the top or will it be laggier to keep track of these chests then running a dropper elevator?
In reply to spyvingen:
In theory they should be very similar lag wise to a standard chest, only slightly worse. Unlike a dropper elevator they do not to tick, which should be less laggy.
In reply to Kyrptonaught:
So then i could basically replace an elevator with one of these :)
Still best mod ever :)
I just have to say i love this mod soooo much i love that you got this worked for me :)
Would it be possible to like make a super chest like through a netherite on a color coded chest and then that whole chest line will be double chest instead?
So if i do this to for example red red red then all of those and the pouch will always be large.
Just a thought :) I love this addon either way i have connected all my farms now with my main storages with this awesome mod :)
One question though why do the original mod include so much reciepe this works great without them or is there something i can't do that others can (except create them in bulk)?
In reply to spyvingen:
The original recipes allows you to set the dye channel of the storage block in the crafting grid before placing them down. Same with the storage bag. And normally when crafting the storage bag it copies the channe from the storage block.
In reply to Kyrptonaught:
Ok so basically the only difference between the version i run and the ordinary is that i can't craft them dyed i have to dye them when placed.
Any thoughts on a bigger chest somehow?
Hmm one of my color coded box got emptied. My white white white is now empty and i had all my shulkers in that one :(
EDIT : can't delete but it is maybe good that i type what i've learnt here :)
If you want to put a chest in a hopper line color code it before you place it on the hopper otherwise you drain your white white white :)
cannot wait to try this out on my game
Well when i have this great addon i just delete upgraded ender chest this is soo much more worth it :)
Really love this mod :)
Thank you for your wonderful work.
Will this work on 1.17.1? If not, is there a plan to update it?
Edit: Tested it out on 1.17.1.
Partially works. The link works fine, however when multiple of the same are linked to multiple hoppers, e.g. all adding fuel to multiple furnaces, they don't spread evenly and all and/or most drop into a single furnace.
Side note: The resource pack didn't work on 1.17 or 1.17.1, but as that seems to be created by someone else and doesn't affect the functionality, it's a minor note.
In reply to Permafrost0Nova:
This seems to be a tick ordering issue. If there is only one coal in the linked chest the first hopper that takes it is the only one that gets it. Another hopper then inserts another coal into the linked chest, but then immediately gets taken out again. The insert and extract happen at the same rate. And the cycle repeats. I think this is just an issue with hoppers. More advanced item transportation should be able to combat this.
The resourcepack has been fixed in 1.3.12
