Better Chests adds enhanced chest features to the game.


Better Chests is safe to add/remove at any time. If Better Chests is removed from your game, and any chest has more than 36 items in it, you'll have to grab items from the top to get to the rest of them.

I regularly test Better Chests alongside other mods which affect chests. It also has integrations with some other mods (noted below).

Full Integration

• Automate - Categorized Chests and Filter Items makes it so that Automate can only push items into chests that you choose.
• Better Crafting - Craft from Chest will open a Better Crafting Page that will include items from all chests, with the Craft from Chest feature enabled, within range.
• Horse Overhaul - SaddleBags can be configured as their own chest type. If you limit the range of Craft from Chest and/or Stash to Chest, it will use the distance to your Horse.

Tested Working

• Bigger Backpacks
• Chests Anywhere
• Custom Backpack Framework and More Backpack Upgrades

Is there another mod you would like to see support added for? Please note it on the Posts tab.


There are too many features and customizability to list them all here, so it is highly recommended you search the Readme for full details on everything this mod can do!

Auto Organize
Every night, after going to bed, your chests will automatically organize items based on the same rules as Stash to Chest.

Better Color Picker
Replaces the Chest Color Picker with a more precise version that lets you pick a color with sliders for hue, saturation, and lightness.

Carry Chest
With Carry Chest enabled, you can hit the Use Tool button to pick up chests into your inventory even if it has items.

Categorize Chest
Categorize Chest allows you to assign item categories to chests so that only those items can be stashed into that chest.

Chest Finder
Search for any chests containing the item you're looking for.

Chest Info
Display stats to the left of the currently opened chest.

Chest Menu Tabs
Tabs are added to the Chest Menu to allow you to quickly toggle between categories of items.

Collect Items
While you are carrying a chest in your inventory, any items you pick up may be collected directly into the chest, bypassing your inventory.

Configurator
Adds a button to the chest menu to configure chests individually.

Craft from Chest
Hit a configurable key to bring up a crafting menu that uses items stored in nearby chests.

Filter Items
Impose restrictions on what types of items are allowed to go into a chest. With this enabled, items that are not part of the allowed list will be blocked.

Open Held Chest
With a chest as your active item, you can hit the action button to bring up the chest menu and access the chests contents.

Resize Chest
The default storage for a chest is 36 items. With Resize Chest enabled you can increase storage space up to virtually unlimited storage.

Search Items
Adds a search bar to the top of the Chest Menu to only display items that meet a search criteria.

Slot Lock
Hover over an item slot in your backpack and hit a configurable key to lock that slot which prevents any item in that slot from being stashed into a chest.

Stash to Chest
Hit a configurable key to instantly stash items from your inventory into nearby chests.

For ease of use, it is recommended to set config options from Generic Mod Config Menu.
More advanced config options can be found on the Readme.
