Balanced Crates

Introduction to the Mod - Balanced Crates is a modification that adds new crates to Minecraft, seamlessly integrating with the game's vanilla aesthetic. These containers provide significantly more storage space compared to regular chests while simultaneously serving as decorative elements for building designs.

Spacious Storage - The main advantage of this modification is the increased capacity of crates. While a standard chest holds 27 slots, each crate from this mod offers a full 66 item slots! This allows for much more compact storage systems. To open the container, simply right-click on it - all players will have access to its contents. Visually, an open crate is distinguished by its missing top lid, and it can be closed using the special "Close Crate" button in the inventory interface.

Design and Decor - Crates can be effectively used for decorative purposes. Each container has a unique texture corresponding to the type of wood it's made from, expanding building possibilities. Like furnaces, crates can be rotated in different directions, creating interesting compositions. Various crate states (open/closed) also provide additional options for interior decoration.

Redstone Applications - Crates are fully compatible with redstone mechanisms and can replace chests in any circuits. Their increased capacity allows for more efficient and compact automated systems.

World Integration - The mod is available for all wood types found in the game, ensuring complete integration with any building style.
