A mod inspired by storage drawers that aims to allow for easy creation of powerful yet not
\noverpowered storage systems using simple components.<\/p>\n
## Features
\n### In-game Guide Book
\nCrafted by combining a book with and upgrade frame, the guide book will explain in more detail how the mod works.
\n**Patchouli is required for the guide book to load ingame!
\nThe book is only available on versions supported by them.**<\/p>\n
### Drawers
\nDrawers are blocks that can store a lot of a few items and come in three variants: single-, double- and quad-slot.
\nThey can be interacted with in world or using hopper or pipes from other mods.
\nThey will make up the bulk of your storage as they are cheap and effective.<\/p>\n
### Access Points
\nAccess points are blocks that can interact with multiple drawers that are connected to them.
\nThey only support insertion in world, but can be extracted from using pipes and hoppers.
\nYou can use them to quickly dump your inventory into the system, or hook up digital storage.<\/p>\n
### Shadow Drawers
\nShadow drawers show the amount of a resource that is available in the whole network and allows
\nfor insertion and expansion of that resource.
\nThey are especially useful for automation as you can keep storage centralized and still access it from far away.<\/p>\n
### Compacting Drawers
\nWhile slightly more expensive to craft compacting drawers offer a lot of convenience over regular drawers.
\nThey automatically compress and decompress your items using 2×2 and 3×3 crafting recipes.
\nThey also store more of items as the max capacity is based on the most compressed stored item.<\/p>\n
### Upgrades
\nUpgrades are items that extend the capacity of a drawer slot. Their power can be tweaked in the config.
\nThere is also a downgrade if you need to limit the capacity of a drawer slot.
\nThey apply to individual slots and not the whole drawer, unlike other mods.<\/p>\n
### Locking
\nYou can use a lock on drawers to make them keep their selected item even when empty.
\nThis makes sure you don’t lose your organization when you remove items and allows you to block automation from filling up empty drawers.<\/p>\n
### Voiding mode
\nIf sneak clicked with a lava bucket, drawers will start voiding excess items.
\nThis is useful when you want to store items of low value as you don’t need to worry about overflow.
\nExtended drawers will make sure drawers without voiding enabled fill up first.<\/p>\n
### Hidden mode
\nHide icons on drawers to reduce lag or hide your valuables, but remember, anyone can change it.
\nApplied by sneaking and using black dye or ink sacs on drawers.<\/p>\n
### Duping mode
\nYou can use a, by default unobtainable, dupe wand to toggle duping mode on drawers.
\nThey will continue to provide items even when empty. Voiding mode must still be applied separately.<\/p>\n
### Addon
\nSome features, which have been deemed to powerful or otherwise unsuited to the main mod,
\nare available as an official addon.<\/p>\n
## Customization
\nExtended drawers offers two main ways to customize the experience: the configs and datapacks.<\/p>\n
The configs can be located under the `config` directory in your installation root, under `extended_drawers`.
\nThere are two files: one for client side setting and one for settings needed on both the server and client. <\/p>\n
All recipes and loot tables can be modified by datapacks like with most mods.
\nYou can find some of the defaults under `src\/main\/resources` and others under `src\/main\/generated`.<\/p>\n
Extended drawers also provides the option to override what items the compacting drawers can compact and how. “`json5 ## Other Info ### Other websites ### Porting and Forking Current target: 26.1.<\/p>\n ### Incompatibilities * **Optifine** will never be officially supported.

\nYou can read my policy on forking and porting mods.<\/p>\n
