## 🔥 Enhance Your Inventory Management Portable Crates offers a practical solution to the inventory management issue in Minecraft, implemented with potential for many other creative uses. It's an ideal addition for players looking for a novel, thoughtfully designed, vanilla-like storage feature. ## Key Features ✅ **Vanilla-like Balance**: Tailored primarily for the vanilla Minecraft experience. Crates solve modern Minecraft's growing inventory management issues while preserving the game's core challenge, charm, and progression. 🌍 **Extended Exploration**: Allow for extended trips and adventures. Sufficiently prepared players can return to their base when they want to, not just because the inventory fills up nearly immediately after leaving. 📦 **Efficient Storage Solution**: Ideal for deep storage of bulk materials, potentially decreasing the size of storage spaces down to 1/9 of the original size. 🏠 **Build More Freely**: Perfect for builders, crates can be used to cheaply and easily transport bulk materials to construction sites, even in the early game. ⚙️ **Redstone Compatibility**: Integrate crates into your automated systems. The crates are fully compatible with redstone, allowing for seamless automation that fits perfectly into your complex machinery and farms. 🧠 **Strategic Gameplay Enhancement**: The one-time-use and sealing limitations of crates encourages thoughtful planning and resource management, adding a new strategic dimension to your Minecraft experience. ## Details ### General 2 blocks added to the game:

Both are containers with 9 slots of inventory space. Together, the crates function like a smaller, one-way shulker box. - Place a _crate_ down and put items in it like any container. - When you break the _crate_ block, it will drop as a _sealed crate_ with those items. - When you place and break a _sealed crate_, the _sealed crate_ will be destroyed and drop its contents. Sealed crates can't be accessed by the player (unless in creative mode). Droppers and Hoppers also won't interact with it. #### Other Details - If you break an empty crate, it will just drop the crate again. - If you break a sealed crate with silk touch, it will drop the sealed crate again.
- Sealed crates and shulker boxes can't be stored in crates - Both crates can be stored in shulker boxes
- Crates stack to 64, sealed crates are unstackable - Craft a crate with 4 iron ingots and any 4 planks:

### Redstone Dispensers can place crate blocks. Pistons extending into crate blocks will break them, causing them to drop whatever they're expected to drop, similar to if a player did it. Comparators read the fullness of the crates, like other containers. Hoppers/droppers work as expected with crates, but do not interact with sealed crates.

### Decoration Crates are directional, so placing at different orientations makes the diagonal go one way or the other. The wood color is based on spruce.

## Installation **Install** by simply copying the downloaded jar file into the mods folder of your Fabric Minecraft instance with fabric api installed. Alternatively, it is also compatible with Quilt and the QFAPI. It is required for both the client and the server. **Uninstall** by removing the jar file from the mods folder. Destroy any crates existing in the world before uninstalling to avoid errors from the game trying to load objects that no longer exist. ## Extras [Dark mode for crate gui](https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/portable-crates-dark-mode)
