Re: Chests

Re: Chests adds wood-specific chest variants to Minecraft Forge 1.7.10, letting your storage match the rest of your build instead of forcing the same vanilla chest everywhere.

This mod adds chest variants for the main wood types, along with matching trapped chests and chest minecarts, while keeping the overall feel close to vanilla.

Features

Oak, Spruce, Birch, Jungle, Acacia, and Dark Oak chests
Matching trapped chest variants
Matching chest minecarts for regular chest variants
Custom single and double chest textures for every wood type
Vanilla-friendly crafting and behavior
Support for common chest-based recipes such as hoppers, trapped chests, and chest minecarts

Design Goal

Re: Chests is meant to feel simple, cozy, and natural in a survival world.

The goal is not to replace Minecraft's style, but to expand it with chest variants that look like they always should have existed, similar to how different wood families already have their own doors, trapdoors, fences, and signs.

Compatibility Notes

Built for Minecraft Forge 1.7.10
Designed to stay close to vanilla chest behavior
Different wood chest types do not merge into incorrect double chests
Custom chest variants can still be converted for vanilla recipe compatibility where needed

Planned Future Support

Re: Chests is still growing, and I want to expand it with support for more major mods from the 1.7.10 ecosystem.

Planned compatibility and themed chest support includes:

Biomes O' Plenty
Natura
Thaumcraft
Tinkers' Construct
Botania
IndustrialCraft 2

I would also like to explore support for other well-known 1.7.10 mods, such as:

Forestry
Railcraft
BuildCraft
Ender IO
Applied Energistics 2
Extra Utilities
ProjectRed
Storage Drawers
Witchery
Ars Magica 2

Suggestions

If there is a mod you would like to see supported, feel free to suggest it.

Re: Chests is meant to grow into a cozy storage expansion for classic 1.7.10 modpacks, so feedback and ideas are always welcome.

Why This Mod?

If you like building with specific wood palettes, the vanilla chest often stands out in the wrong way. Re: Chests fixes that by giving you storage that actually fits cabins, villages, workshops, warehouses, and cozy survival bases.
