About this Mod
ⓘ Info
Please note that this project is not really active any more.
I'd highly recommend using other storage mods such as Arke for a vanilla+ feel or Sophisticated Storage for a more lightly modded experience.
The current plan is to maintain Expanded Storage until 27.1 in which case hopefully Arke: Iren will be usable and a smooth migration is possible.
For recipes please use a recipe viewer mod like EMI, JEI, or REI.

Chests
Similar to vanilla chests but they can merge along any axis
Classic Chests
Similar to chests but occupy the whole block space, they don't have any opening animation and should impact fps less.
Barrels
Exactly like vanilla barrels but with more inventory space.
Mini Storage
Mini storage blocks can only hold 1 stack and are ideal for gifting things to other players :D
Note: not all styles are craft-able and will need a Storage Mutator renamed to Sparrow to unlock.
Tools
The storage mutator is a tool to configure chest and other storage containers in world.
It currently consists of 4 modes, note not all modes are applicable to all storage types:
- Merge: Allows merging of two adjacent chests or old chests into a double chest.
- Split: Allows splitting a double chest into two single chests.
- Rotate: Allows rotating any storage container, note chests are limited to horizontal rotations.
- Swap theme: Allows changing the theme of the storage container, this only works for themes in the same tier.
Conversion Kits
Conversion kits can be used to convert blocks and entities already placed in world to a different tier.

Expanded Storage server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.2-rc-1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Expanded Storage compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?
Expanded Storage officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 26.2-rc-1, 26.1.2, 1.21.11. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Expanded Storage – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Expanded Storage consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
