if your referring to locking all drawers you CAN do that with a storage controller BUT those drawers must be connected to that controller by either touching it directly or touching another drawer and it only goes so far.

i see, so say in a controller is in the center of a 25³ area how far would it reach and would it matter if the controller is connected via trim? also, how can this be done, by locking the controller?

It will toggle any connected drawer within its reach, so that entire cube in theory. Trim is fine.

I don't think the keys work on slaves, but you can use the button versions of keys on slave blocks, if the controller is not physically reachable.

there are button versions of the keys? omg the button is awesome. it locked them all thank you.

Storage Drawers is now out for Minecraft 1.12.

There's still a few broken things, like compacting drawers failing to find smaller objects from bigger ones. It relates to all the recipe damage, and will hopefully be resolved when Forge figures out its recipe APIs.

I'm also working on some more sweeping changes under the covers. The main objectives are to sweep out old 1.7.10 IInventory-related cruft, and make use of the Forge capability system. Maybe it will improve future mod compatibility. With 1.12 Forge still in beta, so too is this.

When the core updates are finished, I will consider new feature work for the 1.12 branch.

You need to update Chameleon

I'm assuming you're talking about 1.12.

It's deliberate. The Forge recipe system is getting replaced and our workaround was disabled. They maybe have enough of the new system in place to do something, but it's still being worked on and I need to dig in a bit.

Recipes are in progress. I have JSON defined for most of them, less the drawers themselves. Expect an update tomorrow with all that working again.

Over the next 3 weeks maybe, I'm going to be making some changes in various areas. Moreso on the underlying code, but also touching some of the visible surfaces as well. This will include the first breaking changes to the data model since early 1.7.10. I'm going to support reading from the old data model, god forbid some of you manage to migrate worlds from 1.10 or 1.11, but there's always a chance for something to go wrong.

Was this ignored on purpose or by mistake?

I must have missed it.

Are you right-clicking the top half of the front of the controller (the "slot")? Otherwise make sure you have the latest version of the mod for 1.7.10.

Maybe the block isn't ticking, which I'm seeing in certain situations on the later versions. I don't have an explanation for why, though.

There is one more drawer type you need: 4x4 storage. Same recipe as for the 2x2 except with 2x2 drawers replacing the chests. That would have an even better effect that the downsize Direwolf asked for since the half-size version is 1 stack each. I, on the other hand, would improve my storage silo to cover more item types and take a huge load off of AE/RS. Not to mention two emerald upgrades each.

I could probably get 3x3 to work and still fit the style of the mod, but 4x4 seems too dense. That gives you a 4px x 4px area for an item if you give up all borders, all separators, and all space between items.

It's not the model that's the issue, but that I'm specifically tying everything to the 16px aesthetic of vanilla minecraft. I think to make the density of 4x4 feasible, the features would need to be razor thin. But 3x3 still leaves enough buffer in play to make it work.

Is that 3x3 thing soleily for aethetical use - or was ist meant to be as some sort of follow-up for 2x2? I actually think 2x2 is pretty much all you need, but the Upgrades could possibly be updated to feature more space. That way there would be no need for 3x3 or 4x4.

Also what about my tick-issue? Any ideas?

3x3 simply allows you to cram more unique item slots into the same space. It could be useful. I briefly considered it as the first drawer type when making the mod, but settled on 2x2 because all the feature widths balanced better. McJty's Aqua Mundus (sp?) mod featured a kind of "shelf" storage block that was a 4x4, but it was basically invisible so the items could expand to take up as much space as possible.

I don't have any ideas on the tick-issue right now. I just know it applies to all versions, but it seems to be uncommon. Though actually if you say it works with hoppers, that's pretty weird. For the other reports I've had, it wouldn't work with anything at all.

It's to do with the ore registry. Possibly a usage error on my part with the new functions, but I still need to check.
