Storage Drawers Mod Overview
Storage Drawers is a storage mod that does one thing really well: store a ton of items without taking up your whole base. It borrows the best ideas from Jabba and Bibliocraft but keeps things simple and clean. You get wooden drawers that hold items, upgrades to make them bigger, and a controller system to automate everything.
The whole thing is click-based. Right-click to put items in, left-click to pull them out. No annoying GUIs unless you want to check exact counts or tweak settings. It actually respects your playstyle instead of forcing you into a menu.
How Drawers Work
Five Different Sizes
Pick the drawer size that fits your needs. Each one trades capacity for how much space it takes up:
- Half-size 2×2: Holds 4 stacks per drawer
- Half-size 1×2: Holds 8 stacks per drawer
- Full-size 2×2: Holds 8 stacks per drawer
- Full-size 1×2: Holds 16 stacks per drawer
- Full-size 1×1: Holds 32 stacks per drawer
Upgrade capacity with storage upgrades if you want bigger drawers later. No need to rebuild. Craft them in any plank color to match your build style.
Click Controls
Everything works through clicking, just like Jabba:
- Right-click: Put a full stack in the drawer
- Double right-click: Dump all matching items into the drawer at once
- Left-click: Pull out one item
- Shift+left-click: Pull out a full stack
- Shift+right-click: Open the drawer UI to see exact counts and manage upgrades
Upgrades and Special Features
Indicator Upgrades
Add a level 1 indicator to light up when a drawer is full, or level 2 to show a fill bar that grows as the drawer fills. Good visual feedback without needing to click.
Drawer Lock
Lock a drawer with a drawer key and it keeps the same item even if you empty it. Stops pipes and automation from filling it with whatever they feel like.
Compacting Drawers
These special drawers automatically convert items. Throw in gold blocks, ingots, and nuggets all in the same drawer. The compacting drawer handles converting between them internally. Works for redstone, glowstone, wheat, and anything else with a compression recipe. No manual crafting needed.
Automation with Controllers
Drawer Controller
Connect a controller and it finds all drawers within 12 blocks automatically. Every connected drawer becomes one big inventory. Attach a single pipe, tube, or duct and access everything at once. It’s the difference between hooking up 20 drawers individually or plugging in one controller.
You can also use the controller as a deposit block. Right-click it with items and they go into the right drawer. Double-click and it dumps your whole inventory into the network if those items already exist in storage. Perfect for dumping mob drops without accidentally storing your tools.
Controller Slaves
Slaves extend your controller network and add more faces for attaching pipes and machines. They share the same inventory range as the controller they’re bound to and handle automation better than running multiple controllers.
Trim Blocks
Decorative wood panels that also work to connect drawers in a controller network. Fill gaps and connect drawers without looking weird.
Installation
Requirements:
- Minecraft Forge
- Chameleon Library (dependency)
Steps:
- Install Forge for your Minecraft version
- Download the Storage Drawers mod file
- Place it in your
.minecraft/modsfolder - Also download and place Chameleon Library in the mods folder
- Launch the game
To see all the crafting recipes, install Just Enough Items (JEI). It shows you everything you can craft with this mod.
Compatibility
Storage Drawers plays nice with other storage mods instead of replacing them:
- Works with Applied Energistics 2 storage buses. This is the best way to see exact drawer contents in AE2.
- Compatible with Thaumcraft, showing aspect labels for essentia items.
- Works with Jabba’s dolly so you can move full drawers without emptying them.
- Shows inventory info in WAILA with exact item counts.
- Looks good next to Bibliocraft blocks if aesthetics matter to your build.
Configuration
Every block and feature can be adjusted. Disable the controller if you don’t want it. Change base storage sizes. Tweak recipe outputs. Disable specific blocks without losing your stored items. Everything is configurable through Forge’s mod menu on the title screen.
