CrimsonsUpgradableStorage_V1.0.1.zip  1-click install


Inspired by the Extra Chests mod made by Dauron. Storage containters include:

  • Chests
  • Labeled Chests
  • Trunks 
  • Labled Trunks

 

In order to upgrade a chest or trunk you must place it in the center of your crafting table and flank it on the left, right, and bottom with planks and place a metal plate on the top. 

 

Progression of storage is as follows: Wooden -> Copper -> Bronze (Tin, Bismuth, or Black) -> Iron -> Steel

 

Storage Capacity Slots

  • Chests: Wooden (16), Copper (24), Bronze (32), Iron (40), Steel (48)
  • Trunks: Wooden (36), Copper (45), Bronze (54), Iron (63), Steel (72)

 

Future plans:

  • Expand functionality to storage vessels
  • Create new higher tiers 
  • Improve functionality with other mods via patches
  • Introduce custom GUI or items to upgrade storage containers that have already been placed

 

Notes:

  • Required for both client and server.
  • Currently compatible with Carry On

I dont seem to be able to reinforce the labeled chests with the plumb and square , not sure if thats intentional or no

💬 TheCrimsonKing96 , 16 hours ago

Sameal It isn't yet, I'm in the process of trying to extend the functionality out to storage vessels but how storage vessels are set up in the JSONs has been giving me some trouble. Once I'm able to figure that out though the release after this upcoming one is going to be a working on a few compatibility patches for vanilla variants and a few other popular mods out there

quillian Let me look into that one I don't recall if Carry On is the mod that allows you to place chests/containers on your back or if that's Carry Capacity. I believe that Extra Chests had patched both but I had only taken the time to patch Carry On since Carry Capacity hadn't been updated since 2022. I'll look into this though, maybe it's still functioning or I missed something! :)

thanks so much for updating this mod, its been a favorite of mine for a long time. it works great, the only problem i've encountered is that i'm not able to put an upgraded chest on my back. i was able to do it with the extra chests mod after updating the carry on config, but after switching to this version it stopped working. i can pick up a chest, i just cant put it on my back anymore.

TheCrimsonKing96 is this compat with vanilla variants?

💬 TheCrimsonKing96 , 1 day ago

No problem, sorry I don't have better news but as I build out the mod I will do my best to try and keep things clean and compatible especially when I convert this from a content to a code mod in the future! :D 

💬 Kyrios34, 1 day ago

No problem I assumed but I wanted to ask before I made a mess lol , thanks !

💬 TheCrimsonKing96 , 1 day ago (modified 1 day ago)

Kyrios34 Swapping out Extra Chests for this mod mid playthrough will break your chests and will delete any items inside of said chests. This is due to how block data is read on launch. I will certainly look into it but I would need to write custom code to:

  • Capture the content of all Extra Chest mod chests placed
  • Check that this mod is installed
  • Swap out all chests with their proper corresponding chests within this mod 
  • Replace the contents that were taken from the Extra Chests mods chests into the this mods chests

 

I'm a pretty terrible programmer and eventually I'd like to expand the functionality of this mod to include a few custom coded items and features but right now my time is a bit limited during the week so I'm stuck to the weekends doing any major work/additions to it.

💬 Kyrios34, 1 day ago

so im using extra chests currently , if I swap the mods out will there be any problems? like everyones items dropping everywhere? lol

💬 Anthonyg1479, 1 day ago (modified 1 day ago)

i found a temp fix, traders who sell chests will sell vanilla default chests for anyone who was wondering

💬 TheCrimsonKing96 , 2 days ago (modified 1 day ago)

Anthonyg1479 I've never used Vanilla Variants before and my time is pretty limited during the week but lemme put it on the to do list and see what I can come up with!

As for if whether or not this mod is safe to remove mid playthrough, as long as all containers have been removed from the world then yes it's safe to remove. Otherwise the containers will end up becoming white blocks with red question marks due to the game not being able to locate the block data or textures and all contents of the storage will be lost. 

💬 Anthonyg1479, 2 days ago (modified 2 days ago)

this is not compatable with Vanilla Variants any chance you could make so?

also is this safe to remove mid playthrough with some mods like better ruins and such?

 

💬 TheCrimsonKing96 , 2 days ago

I can certainly add that here later today, thanks for the suggestion!

I've never tested compatibility with mods that modify chest sizes like doubling them. They function indentical to regular in game chests so I would believe that 2x chest storage sizes would work but will confirm when I have the time.

💬 Kylocard, 2 days ago

Yeah the storage size would be a great thing to have in the description - is it compatible with mods that double chest sizes? Would be good to have one that works with them

 

💬 Ezekielos, 2 days ago

how spacious they are?
