MetalChests Mod — Reference
Chest Tiers and Blocks
The mod adds several blocks, each representing a different tier of storage capacity. All chests can be placed adjacent to each other without merging into 'double chests,' allowing for extremely compact storage rooms.
Standard Metal Chests
| Chest Type | Slots | Grid Size | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copper Chest | 45 | 9x5 | The first tier above wood, providing a significant early-game boost. |
| Iron Chest | 54 | 9x6 | Equivalent to a standard double chest but contained within a single block. |
| Silver Chest | 72 | 9x8 | A mid-tier chest that bridges the gap between Iron and Gold. |
| Gold Chest | 81 | 9x9 | A high-capacity storage solution for established bases. |
| Diamond Chest | 108 | 9x12 | The highest capacity standard chest available in the mod. |
Specialized Chests
- Obsidian Chest: Boasts 108 slots (9x12). It is completely blast-resistant, making it immune to Creeper explosions and TNT. It is the ultimate choice for secure storage in dangerous areas.
- Crystal Chest: Boasts 108 slots (9x12). This chest is transparent, allowing players to see the 3D models of the items stored inside. Note: In large quantities, Crystal chests may impact client-side performance due to rendering requirements.
Upgrade Items
Upgrade items allow players to transform a lower-tier chest into a higher-tier one instantly. To use an upgrade, hold the item in your hand and Shift + Right-Click on the chest you wish to upgrade. This process preserves all items currently stored inside the chest.
| Upgrade Item | Target Chest | Resulting Chest |
|---|---|---|
| Wood to Copper | Wood Chest | Copper Chest |
| Wood to Iron | Wood Chest | Iron Chest |
| Copper to Iron | Copper Chest | Iron Chest |
| Iron to Silver | Iron Chest | Silver Chest |
| Silver to Gold | Silver Chest | Gold Chest |
| Gold to Diamond | Gold Chest | Diamond Chest |
| Diamond to Crystal | Diamond Chest | Crystal Chest |
| Diamond to Obsidian | Diamond Chest | Obsidian Chest |
