You can do whatever you like. I noticed what you are wanting to accomplish and it may not require something as complex as what I do with this mod. As far as tips it's best to start small and build from there. The modding help channel in the VS discord can be very helpful if you ever get stuck on something.

yeah unfortunately 1.13 versions won't be compatible with 1.14 due to some renaming of certain Vintage Story functions. Many code mods will have this same issue. I'll be releasing a 1.14 compatible version shortly.

Thank you! I'll include it in my next version.

This is the "error" it shows. As I said before it's only on the server side, and it's only a warning. It still works just fine it's just going to do it every time you join into single player or start a server. I added the "Carryable" behavior in the crate block file. I don't see any other way to do it. Patching would be like patching the Carry Capacity patch that patches blocks to have the behavior... Unless there's a way in a patch inside my mod to say if Carry Capacity mod exists then patch the "Carryable" behavior in.

Thanks again for the language file! I'm adding it in the zip now. I decided to use only 1 "bronze" for this because of how the upgrade system works. The recipe for the bronze upgrade will accept any of the 3 bronze ingots. I wanted to keep the upgrade system simple and also the information in the handbook easy to follow. As far as the Carry Capacity version goes, if people run the CC version without CC it will work but it throws errors about the behavior not being found on the server side which would happen in single player as well. I wanted to provide a "standalone" version that would not have errors pop up for those that do not use CC. Thanks again for your help!

Update 1-18-24: new version 1.7.0 compatible with VS 1.19.0 No major changes, just recompiled to verify compatibility. I do not have much time nowadays to thoroughly test things so please be sure to backup your worlds before updating to any new version of Vintage Story, can't stress that enough. Very important when updating as many modders won't know if their mod becomes incompatible with new versions of VS. Description: This mod introduces a new storage block with a new mechanic for Vintage Story. These "Better Crates" can only store one type of item but they store much more of it than a wooden chest. Features: No GUI element but instead shows the item model with quantity on the label. Interact by left clicking to take items out and right clicking to insert items. They can only be broken with an axe. Upgradable to the next tier by using an upgrade item on them, no need to put into crafting window to upgrade. Fully multiplayer compatible. Including claim protected, reinforcement and locking mechanic. Compatible with hoppers and chutes. Bottom side is the output. All other sides can be inserted into. Rotates when placed. Can also be placed into the floor to face up or ceiling to face down. Detailed Handbook information with links to each new block/item. Just search for "Better Crate". Reactive block interaction overlay information. Compatible with Carry Capacity mod. Highly recommended! Note: Crates can only be carried by hand. Known Issues: While nearly all blocks/items display correctly, some blocks that have overlays such as soil with grass will display without the grass. This only applies to creative mode as you can't have those blocks in survival. There is always the possibility with mods and newer game versions that new blocks/items may not display correctly. Chiseled blocks do not display properly. Fixed with version 1.0.1 Very rarely when broken the label quantity text will not get destroyed. This seems to only happen in creative mode. This will fix if you restart the game. Anvil work items in 1.14+ will not display properly. I feel this is a rare case usage and have not devoted time to fixing the issue for now. Notes: As of version 1.4.1 the display range of models and info of the labels can now be configured. Default is 50 block range. The "BetterCratesConfig.json" file will be in your VintagestoryData\ModConfig folder after loading into a world with the mod one time. This file can be edited with common text editors such as Notepad. Language Files Included: English Russian (Thank you DArkHekRoMaNT!) Recipe Examples from handbook: Usage example: I hope everyone will enjoy using this mod. It was quite the challenge to make. Special thanks to everyone who helped answer my questions in discord. Downloads: I'm using the Vintage Story Mod DB from now on for downloads. No need to have files in two places. https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/146

It appears the Lockable behavior is being ignored when picking up a block. Not sure if this is intended or not but either way the reinforced and locked properties remain at the initial block location. So for example if you move a chest that is locked and then put a block at the location the chest was at then that block will have the locked and reinforced values the chest had.

Thanks for the Russian language file! I tried for hours tinkering with the dropsByType value and I couldn't figure out how to tell it the different types of chests. All of the chests seem to react to the same "code" which is something like ExtraChests--chest-east. I still don't fully understand the usage of the north, south, west, east types in the file. I couldn't get anything to work in game when I started to remove them so I left them in. I'd like to fix the GUI problem but unfortunately I'm not sure what to do.

Update 1-18-24: New version 1.8.0 compatible with VS 1.19.0 No changes, just recompiled to verify compatibility. I do not have much time nowadays to thoroughly test things so please be sure to backup your worlds before updating to any new version of Vintage Story, can't stress that enough. Very important when updating as many modders won't know if their mod becomes incompatible with new versions of VS. This mod adds larger storage capacity chests to the game. Every chest can be made into the "Labeled" version by adding a sign to it just like the wooden chest. Labeled chests can be upgraded to the next tier as well. These chests are based on the vanilla wooden chest so they behave and interact the same. They can be reinforced and are lockable. Notes: This mod is required for both client and server. Language files for English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, and Portuguese are included. Thanks to those that have contributed! Compatible with Carry Capacity and Carry On. Default configuration allows hand carrying only. Downloads: I'm using the Vintage Story Mod DB from now on for downloads. No need to have files in two places. https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/137
