Extended Drawers Mod

Extended Drawers is a mod influenced by Storage Drawers that adds different drawers to the game with special abilities. There are multiple different kinds of drawers in the mod, both currently and in the future.

 There is an in game guide book that can help you, but it requires Patchouli to be installed.

 There are three main types of simple drawers. There are:

  • Single Drawers
  • Double Drawers
  • Quad Drawers

The only difference is the number of different items it can hold. Like other drawer mods, each type slot can only hold one item type. The single drawer can hold one item 1024 times. The double drawer can hold two items 512 times. The quad drawer accessed four items 256 times. The drawers can easily be upgraded or downgraded with the Downgrade and Upgrade items. It is important to note, however, that each of the different levels only holds a total of 1024 items, so it may not be too important to upgrade your drawers. To add new items to a drawer with an empty slot, you should point to the particular slot where you want to add the item. Drawers can also reduce the number of items in them if you Shift+Click with a lava bucket.

There is another drawer called the Shadow Drawer. This can only hold a single item 512 times, but has a special ability: being able to display the items in a drawer network. There are drawer networks where you can expand and reduce drawers. Drawer networks can be interacted with Access Points, which allow you to interact with multiple drawers in a network, and you can work with the drawers with many different items, including hoppers or some modded pipes.

Drawers can also be locked with a lock item, which prevents the player from being able to take items out of the drawer. While normally players would be able to take items out of the drawers by right clicking on them, the lock prevents this. Another cool feature is the ability to hide the icons. This can be used to reduce lag or hide your stuff, but it is easy to turn off, so it is not that effective as a security measure.

One interesting thing about the drawers in this mod is that even in creative mode, they take a very long time to break. This could be good if you want a strong option that is not easy to break. 

There are also a few planned features that are not yet in the mod. The main 2 features are progress bars to show how full a drawer or slot is, and Compacting Drawers, which would convert nuggets to ingots and ingots to blocks and other stuff; this latter feature is harder and may require mod integration, so it has not yet been added, though the author is open to pull requests for it. It is important to note that the author only supports the latest version of Minecraft, so you will not be getting these new features in 1.18 or other old versions.

Optifine is not officially supported, but will most likely work.

Sodium is listed as compatible as long as Indium is installed; however, we do not have Indium installed, only Sodium and Iris Shaders with Quilt Standard Libraries, so it is likely it will work without Indium.
