# Nether Chest<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
I like to think of the storage blocks in Minecraft as analogues to different types of data storage we encounter in everyday life:<\/p>\n
– An ordinary chest is like a hard drive: it’s (basically) stationary, and you can access what it stores only through direct contact.
\n – A shulker box is similar to a USB flash drive: it’s portable, and the things it stores can also be accessed exclusively through direct contact.
\n – An ender chest, on the other hand, is just like remote personal storage: upload your belongings to the “cloud,” and you’ll have access to them from anywhere in the world at any time.<\/p>\n
Don’t you think something’s missing? There’s personal cloud storage, but there’s no shared one that could act as a kind of file sharing service. And isn’t it strange that we have an overworld chest, an ender chest, but no nether chest? Well, behold!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This mod adds a single block to the game – the Nether Chest. It functions almost the same way as an ender chest, except it has a shared inventory for all players on a server.<\/p>\n
### Crafting Recipe<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This crafting recipe may seem a bit expensive, but from a balancing perspective, everything is more than justified:<\/p>\n
– The Wither is a pretty weak enemy, even at the maximum difficulty level. Thus, obtaining a couple of extra nether stars shouldn’t be too challenging.
\n – The Nether Chest is an “endgame” block. If you can afford to spend a nether star on crafting a chest, then a bit of time-saving isn’t considered cheating. However, in the early stages of the game, exchanging items between players who are separated by thousands of blocks might be overpowered.<\/p>\n
**NOTE:** Nether Chests should be handled with Silk Touch if you don’t want to lose your nether stars. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
If you play on Peaceful *(or just aren’t up for battling the Wither)*, you can use this datapack *(which replaces the nether star with an eye of ender in the crafting recipe)*. Please refer to this article if you are unfamiliar with the process of installing a datapack.<\/p>\n
### Multichannel Mode<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When multichannel mode is enabled, each Nether Chest gains an extra slot that can be used to lock the chest to a specific channel with its own unique inventory.<\/p>\n
### Redstone Integration<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nether Chests are compatible with hoppers and comparators.<\/p>\n
### Config<\/p>\n
If you have Cloth Config installed, you can customize the behavior of the mod. A config is usually located at `.\/config\/nether_chest.json` and by default looks like this:<\/p>\n
“`json
\n{
\n “allowHoppers”: true,
\n “allowInsertion”: true,
\n “allowExtraction”: true,
\n “enableMultichannelMode”: true,
\n “ignoreNbtInMultichannelMode”: false,
\n “ignoreCountInMultichannelMode”: false,
\n “channelBlacklist”: [],
\n “channelWhitelist”: []
\n}
\n“`<\/p>\n
| Name | Description | Default value |
\n| —- | ———– | ————- |
\n| `allowHoppers` | When enabled, hoppers will be able to access the Nether Chest’s inventory | `true` |
\n| `allowInsertion` | When enabled, hoppers will be able to insert items into the Nether Chest’s inventory | `true` |
\n| `allowExtraction` | When enabled, hoppers will be able to extract items from the Nether Chest’s inventory | `true` |
\n| `enableMultichannelMode` | When enabled, Nether Chests can be locked to a specific channel | `true` |
\n| `ignoreNbtInMultichannelMode` | When enabled, channel keys no longer need to have identical NBT data to be considered equal | `false` |
\n| `ignoreCountInMultichannelMode` | When enabled, channel keys no longer need to have the same stack size to be considered equal | `false` |
\n| `channelBlacklist` | Items whose IDs are listed in this field are banned from being used as channel keys | `[]` |
\n| `channelWhitelist` | Only items whose IDs are listed in this field can be used as channel keys | `[]` |<\/p>\n
You can edit any of these values directly in the config file or via ModMenu.<\/p>\n
