Sophisticated Storage In Motion FAQ

Craft a storage vehicle by combining a boat, raft, or minecart with a Sophisticated Storage block in a crafting grid. The resulting item places the storage block directly inside the vehicle so you can access its inventory while riding or pushing it.

Yes, the mod supports the standard Sophisticated Storage containers like barrels, chests, and shulker boxes. Just match the vehicle type to the recipe and the storage block you want to embed.

Right-click the vehicle while seated or standing next to it to open the embedded storage GUI. The inventory behaves like a normal Sophisticated Storage container, including upgrade slots if the block supports them.

Make sure you're targeting a water source or flowing water block and that the boat isn't already occupied. If the boat was crafted incorrectly or the storage block was removed, the item won't place as a storage vehicle.

Yes, storage minecarts run on standard rails just like vanilla minecarts. You can push them, ride them, or hook them into rail networks, and the storage inventory stays accessible the whole time.

Open one vehicle's inventory and shift-click or drag items into the other vehicle's inventory if both GUIs are open, or use hoppers and pipes to transfer between them. Sophisticated Storage upgrades like stack upgrades still apply inside the vehicle.

Yes, the embedded storage keeps its upgrade slots, so you can add stack upgrades, void upgrades, and other Sophisticated Storage upgrades the same way you would on a placed block. Open the GUI and use the upgrade slots as normal.

It's built around Sophisticated Storage blocks specifically, so other mods' containers won't craft into storage vehicles. Vehicle mods that add new boat or minecart types may not be compatible unless the mod explicitly supports them.

Each storage vehicle is essentially a moving container, so a few are fine, but hundreds loaded at once can add tick overhead. Keep active storage vehicles near players and avoid leaving large numbers chunk-loaded.

When the vehicle is destroyed, the storage block and its contents drop as items, so you won't lose your inventory. Pick up the drops and recraft the vehicle if you want to keep using it.

It is a Sophisticated Storage add-on that lets you use sophisticated barrels, chests, and shulker boxes as storage on minecarts and boats. Contents, upgrades, custom colors, and inventory settings are preserved while moving.

It registers a storage boat and a storage minecart. These are made by crafting Sophisticated Storage blocks with a minecart or boat.

It is an add-on for Sophisticated Storage, so that mod is needed for it to work.

Yes. All variants of vanilla boats can be used in the recipes, and the resulting storage retains the boat's type.

Yes, all Storage Upgrades work in the vehicle storages. Upgrades that need a position use the position of the minecart or boat, and you can add them by right-clicking the vehicle in the world.

Storage tier upgrades can be used directly on vehicles, or the vehicle items can be upgraded in a crafting table like regular storages. The recipes are shown in JEI.

Yes. The paintbrush supports tints and barrel material changes on vehicle storages, and vehicles can also be put in the decoration table to be changed there.

It can be used directly in the world on vehicles to lock their storage and to change the visibility of parts like locks, tiers, upgrades, and for limited barrels the counts and fill levels.
