This mod adds a variety of different new types of Chests into Minecraft. Are you bored of the plain old chest? You want to place chests directly next to each other without wasting 1 block of valuable space? You don't want to waste redstone to craft trapped chests for the previous reason and want to have more for your awesome 16-bit computer? Or you just want to have more variety in chests? Then this mod is made for you!
Place your sand inside birch chests, obsidian inside dark oak chests, your lava buckets inside acacia chest and the list goes on!
You can also craft glowing variants of those chests! Just inject some glowstone into the chest you want to make glow and voilà, chests, which can make the night bright!
For information on risks and side-effects please read the pack insert and ask your chest manufacturer or magical workbench.

If you want to see how the new chests look like, have some screenshots:
You need Minecraft Forge (at least the recommended version) in order to use this! Download the installer under http://files.minecraftforge.net/ Current Version:
You need to have my Manager Pack (required by all my mods)!
Older versions: Please note those versions are not supported! Use at your own risk!
Texture support?
Don't know if that's going to be easy though.
Do dungeons have these chest too?
My Magical Workbench is out of "mana" and my Chest Manufacture quit his job.
What are the risk and side-effects to adding Obsidian, lava and sand?
[Psst... I won't tell anyone!]
You have a very well-design OP.
How did you make the Forum Editor not screw up?

Texture support: Resource packs have to make their own textures, sorry
You can open up the jar, textures are in there within the /assets/ folder
Dungeon chest: They don't, I may have a look into it, but can't promise anything, though
You may have the side effects of accidentially creating a glass-encased nether portal.
Thanks, and I do not the WYSIWYG editor, I use my trusty Notepad++ in combination with copy-pasting in the BB editor.
I wonder, this mod may give me ideas for potential stuff to request. Like maybe different functional chests? Like a suction chest, one that pipes out to another side automatically, and such? Can't go wrong with more chests, honestly!
I do like the glowing chests, but is this mod compatible with both IronChests and Chest Transporter, and can you also make Gany's Surface chests have glow chest versions (Same with all materiel Chests in Iron Chests)? And maybe make Stained Clay Chests and/or wool chests?

Other chest mods should be compatible with this one. As for modded chest types (chests from other mods having glowing variants etc.), that's up to the mod author from the other chest mods, this mod has an easy-to-use API.
Dyed chests are planned.

Isn't this what hoppers / droppers are for?
I mostly aim for cosmetic chest types, nothing too fancy. I may do some new chest types with custom functionality, though.
New bugfix update, fixing a NPE crash when trying to craft a normal chest!
Other chest mods should be compatible with this one. As for modded chest types (chests from other mods having glowing variants etc.), that's up to the mod author from the other chest mods, this mod has an easy-to-use API.

I like the bug fix part, since your avatar is awesome bug (Or whatever the meme name of it is). And I'll talk to the mod makers about that, and okay then. Maybe you should also make Magnetic Chests that act like the ones in Trapcraft that will pull in items near it.

Skydaz is actually pretty cool. If you have an adfly link he makes one on his page and rerouts it to your account, at least he did for me :V
He seems pretty friendly, but at least I think he should ask permission to do that first.

Even with adblockers, adfly is still evil and will try to lock you out for using an adblocker (which is really flippin' stupid).
Really? It doesn't block it out for me most of the time.

Review is up! It's kind of short, heh.
I'm on the CSM team, but I've retired from Minecraft modding for the most part. I made Cliffie's Goos.
I'm an old-timer, been around since Alpha. MC: Windows 10 edition is like the uncanny valley, almost modern Minecraft but off in every way.
I have an XBox tag, but only because I needed one to try the Windows 10 version. I don't have an XBox.
Probably not.

Nope. Only 1.7.10.

U forgot to mention it probably tastes better if you put coco beans and sugar in with it ;).
Very nice idea, i might install this cuse i get tired of the same ol chests...

I'm not 100% sure if skydaz is even legal, you probably want to stay away from it.
...EDIT:
Nicely done.
