Thank you for viewing my mod.
The focus of this mod is to change how we store items. No more need for signs and item frames that consume extra resources and block you from clicking on the container. This mod adds about 70 +/- pre-labeled barrels for storing items that covers most common items. There is an explosion proof Obsidian Barrel that is unlabeled. All have custom GUIs and sound FX, many have special graphics and a few have external FX. It's a large mod (19+Mb) due to all the unique graphics. Most of these barrels store the same amount as a double chest.
Textures
The textures used are 128 x 128.
Crafting
Most labeled barrels are made with a regular Barrel and a sample item. EX: Barrel + Cobblestone = Cobblestone Barrel.
Some Barrels are intended for multiple items and can be crafted by using either of the items (wool, leaves etc..) This keeps their recipe from being too expensive.
EX: Combine either a gold nugget OR iron Nugget + Barrel = Gold & Iron Barrel.
Special Features
Most barrels can actually store anything contrary to their label, however a couple barrels are designed for ONLY holding certain items and will ONLY hold those items inside. The "Illuminated Bookshelf" and "Brewing Supplies" are those. The bonus to these barrels is that they will automatically put those items in the correct slots.
Some barrels will emit particles or other things based on the contents they are supposed to hold. (Lava, Ice, Glowstone, Brewing Supplies, Potions)
The Illuminated Bookshelf and Obsidian Barrel use game textures and will change appearance with any texture pack you use.
FAQ
- Q: Why don't the barrels textures fit the rest of the vanilla textures?
- A: The barrel textures were made at 128x128 (the minimum required size) to make the labels readable. Each barrel required a separate texture for its lid. At the vanilla 16x16 texture size the labeled lids would not have worked.
- Q: Will you add more labeled barrels to cover more items?
- A: Yes. Eventually I will add more as either people request them or I decide through my playing that I need one for a certain item. Feel free to request a special barrel in the comments section.
NOTES
-Due to the amount of recipes in this mod I recommend using a mod like JEI or NEI to see all the recipes.
