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:

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