Barrels, Drums, Storage & More

## **Synopsis**

Barrels, Drums, Storage & More is a storage mod by Funwayguy. It adds metal and wooden barrels, crates, and a shipping container, along with various upgrades to customize them.

## **Overview**

* **Wooden Crate:** a box that can hold 64 stacks of one item type by default. Right click to add the items you are holding to the crate. The first item you add to the crate will be visible on the front of the crate, and will be the only item the crate can store. Once there is something inside your crate, right click with an empty hand to add all of the items in your inventory. Left click to take one stack of items out of the crate. Shift left click to remove one item from the crate. The wooden crate can burn and is upgradeable to hold up to 1024 stacks of items. The crate keeps its items inside of it even when broken, unlike a chest.
* **Metal Crate:** exactly the same as the wooden crate (above) except does not burn, and is upgradeable to hold up to 32768 stacks of items.
* **Wooden Barrel:** a barrel which has the same functionality as wooden crates and additionally can hold up to 64 buckets of non-hot liquid. Right click with a bucket of liquid to add it to the barrel and right click with an empty bucket to take some liquid out of the barrel. Upgradeable to hold up to 1024 buckets of non-hot liquid.
* **Metal Drum:** exactly the same as the wooden barrel (above) except does not burn, and is upgradeable to hold up to 32768 buckets of liquid. This now includes hot liquids like lava.
* **Shipping Container:** a 2x2 structure that can hold up to 27 wooden crates, metal crates, wooden barrels, or metal drums. Hooking up a storage network (AE2, Simple Storage Networks, etc.) to the shipping container allows it to access all of the containers inside and their items.
* **Color Tool:** right click on a metal crate, metal drum, or shipping container to change its color. You can select which section of the block you are coloring with the numbers in the top left.
* **Crate Key:** right click on a wooden crate, metal crate, wooden barrel, or metal drum to lock it. While locked, crates and barrels with nothing in them cannot have items put into them. Crates and barrels with an item in them cannot have their item changed while locked, even when you take all of the items out of the container.
* **Upgrade Capacity x64:** increases the capacity of a container by 64 stacks
* **Upgrade Capacity x256:** increases the capacity of a container by 256 stacks
* **Upgrade Capacity x1024:** increases the capacity of a container by 1024 stacks
* **Upgrade Capacity x4096:** increases the capacity of a container by 4096 stacks
* **Upgrade Capacity Creative:** changes a container so that once you put any item into it, you can take an infinite number of that item out of it.
* **Upgrade Ore Dictionary:** right click on a wooden crate, metal crate, wooden barrel, or metal drum to upgrade. Containers with this upgrade can accept all blocks with the same ore dictionary. For example, Minecraft leaves (oak, spruce, birch, etc.) all have the same ore dictionary. This means you can store all leaf types in a single container with this upgrade. Despite being able to store any blocks with the same ore dictionary, all blocks put into that container will turn into whichever block enters the container first. For example, you can put a single jungle leaf into a barrel with this upgrade, and then put 20 stacks of birch leaves into the barrel as well. The barrel will now have 20 stacks of jungle leaves in it.
* **Upgrade Void Overflow:** right click on a wooden crate, metal crate, wooden barrel, or metal drum to upgrade. Containers with this upgrade will automatically delete any items that are inserted once the container is full.
* **Uninstall Upgrades:** right click on a wooden crate, metal crate, wooden barrel, or metal drum to remove all upgrades you have added to it. The upgrades that are removed will appear back in your inventory.

## **Other Notes**

**Breaking Containers in Creative:**

In creative you have to shift left click to destroy crates and barrels because left clicking is reserved for taking items out of containers. Because of this, you cannot take single items out of containers in creative (shift left click usually).

**Using Upgrade Ore Dictionary To Your Advantage:**

 As mentioned above, using an upgrade ore dictionary will cause a container to accept any blocks of the same ore dictionary (the ore dictionary of an item can be seen by holding shift while hovering your mouse over it). This can potentially be very useful. For example, if you type logWood into your creative inventory you can see every single block that has the ore dictionary “logWood”. This includes every variant of vanilla wood, menril wood, twilight oak wood, and every single sky orchards variant of wood. What this means is, any wood from the list can be turned into any other wood from the list. In my testing, I have found some specific instances which do not work (saplings for example). I assume that these changes were made for balance reasons (oak sapling to ardite sapling). You will have to do your own testing to determine what works and what does not.
