Minecraft Iron Chests mod guide

Minecraft has several types of storage blocks, including chests, barrels, shulker boxes, and so on. Almost every one of these chests has a fixed number of slots. A small regular chest has 27 slots, while a large regular chest (which is the biggest) has 54 slots. On top of this, chests have only 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 everything you need to know about it.

Iron Chests mod not only adds a chest made of iron but also brings a variety of chests made of copper, gold, diamond, glass, and even dirt to Mojang's sandbox title.

Here is a breakdown of all the chests available in the mod, along with the storage offered:

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.

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.

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