Minecraft Iron Chests mod guide

Minecraft has several types of storage blocks, like chests, barrels, shulker boxes, etc. Almost every single one of these chests has a fixed number of slots. A small regular chest has 27 slots, while a large regular chest has 54 slots. However, there is no other chest that is bigger than a large chest. Furthermore, chests only have one color theme, even when they are crafted using different wood planks.

Hence, to bring more variation to Minecraft chests, a mod called Iron Chests was created. Here is more to know about it.

What does the Iron Chests mod offer?

Iron Chests mod not only adds a chest made up of iron, but also brings a variety of chests made up of copper, gold, diamond, glass, and even dirt.

Here is a breakdown of every chest and how much storage it offers:

• Vanilla chest - 27 slots
• Copper chest - 45 slots
• Iron chest - 54 slots
• Gold chest - 81 slots
• Diamond chest - 108 slots
• Obsidian chest - 108 slots
• Glass chest - 108 slots
• Dirt chest 9000 - 1 slot

Each chest has a different crafting recipe. These chests will always have a vanilla chest in the middle, and will be surrounded by the earth mineral or resource of your choice.

Furthermore, you can also create new chest upgrades. These will be items that you can apply to a chest to upgrade it to the next level. For example, if you want to upgrade your vanilla chest to an iron chest, you can apply the wood to iron chest upgrade item to the regular chest. Because of this upgrade, there will be no need to break the regular chest and then upgrade it in the crafting table.

Like so, there are many upgrade items that convert iron to gold, gold to diamond, diamond to glass, and diamond to obsidian chests.
