How to Craft a Wooden Crate and Upgrade It

Craft the base crate

Start with the Wooden crate. It is the entry point for every other crate in the mod. Once you have a Wooden crate placed or in your inventory, you can begin the upgrade chain.

Apply upgrades in order

Upgrades are separate items: Wooden upgrade, Copper upgrade, Tin upgrade, Iron upgrade, Golden upgrade, Diamond upgrade, and Obsidian upgrade. Each upgrade is applied to an existing crate to convert it to the next tier.

Progression logic:

• Wooden crate → apply Copper upgrade → Copper crate
• Copper crate → apply Tin upgrade → Tin crate
• Tin crate → apply Iron upgrade → Iron crate
• Iron crate → apply Golden upgrade → Golden crate
• Golden crate → apply Diamond upgrade → Diamond crate
• Diamond crate → apply Obsidian upgrade → Obsidian crate

There are also combined upgrades: Copper/Golden upgrade, Tin/Golden upgrade, and Iron/Golden upgrade. These let you jump a crate directly to the Golden tier from Copper, Tin, or Iron without stepping through every intermediate crate.

Keep your upgrades in your inventory and apply them to the crate you want to advance. Because all recipes in this mod are crafting_shaped, arrange the crate and the matching upgrade in the crafting grid to produce the next crate.
