Overview

Packages is an opinionated storage mod designed to provide a balanced, early-to-mid-game alternative to Shulker Boxes. Unlike traditional "barrel" or "drawer" mods, Packages focuses on portability and customization. Each Package can hold up to 8 stacks (512 items) of a single item type.

The mod's standout features include the ability to build Packages out of almost any solid block in the game, the ability to nest Packages inside one another for massive storage density, and a "sticky" mechanic that allows empty containers to remember their assigned item.

Does the Packages Mod need any dependencies?

On Fabric 1.20.1, users of Sodium may need to install Indium or models will look weird. On NeoForge, you should enable the "NeoForge Light Pipeline" in Mods, then NeoForge, then Client settings.

How do you insert and remove items from a package?

Click the front face of the package to insert or remove items, with no need to use an empty hand. Hold CTRL to completely fill or empty a package with one click, and you can also interact with packages in your inventory like a Bundle.

Can Packages be nested inside each other?

Yes, if you want to store more than 512 items you can nest packages inside each other. Packages can also stack when they contain the same contents.

How do you make a package sticky?

You make a package sticky so it won't forget its contents when empty. Sticky Syrup is the item associated with this.

Do Packages work with comparators, pistons, and dispensers?

Yes, other than their size, packages behave like cheap shulker boxes. You can measure them with a comparator, crush them with a piston, and dispense with a dispenser, and shulker box loader and unloader designs work great on them.
