Custom Chest Types

Allows you to create your own container items using content packs.
This mod is a framework that allows you to create container objects (chests) that look like anything you want them to, including custom opening animations

All containers will be available for purchase at Robin's store. You can also spawn them in with CJB Item Spawner.

As these objects are chests, they are picked up as chests are, by hitting them with a tool when they are empty.

There is a sample content pack in the optional files with three custom containers:


    A bedside table
    A bookshelf
    A safe

Explanation on how to create your own custom containers is here.


Known issues:


    When the container is removed it appears invisible as it floats towards the player
    Container capacity over three rows or 12 items per row causes overlap issues with other UI elements - please add the Expanded Storage mod to fix this
    Only clicking on the bottom left area of the object opens the container


Thanks to furyx639 for adding in opening animations and for their work to make Expanded Storage compatible with this mod!

Requires SMAPI, uses Harmony.
