Okay, so I don't venture here into the ideas and requests forums that often, because frankly I don't want to bother anybody with my stupid ideas most of the time. I'm no modder, so I'm happy to use whatever anyone gives me... and normally that's enough.
But lately, something has been bothering me. Chests.
I've pretty much been playing Minecraft lately with nothing but the Last Days texture pack. And while that does give me a pretty epic feeling world... building post-apocalyptic shacks with limited interior space has me in quite a predicament when it comes to storage.
To put it bluntly... I'm out of damn space to build big friggin chests across my floor.
And then it occurred to me... why should I have to?
If someone were to make a mod which added a couple of storage-chest like blocks... but made it so that they connected vertically instead of horizontally... then I could easily have room in my small shack for storage.
And so my idea was born.
My request is simple: I want lockers. Upright-standing lockers... which I can fit into my small shack. Upright standing lockers that I can place side-by-side. Upright-standing lockers that I can have blocks over the top of without them preventing access.
If you could do that, who knows... maybe you'd tackle filing cabinets, too? Maybe even closets? Or a dishwasher? I don't rightly care, honestly. All I need is vertical storage-lockers. As long as the recipe is fair, and I can change the block id's for maximum compatibility... it's all good.
If you want to run with this idea... awesome. Just shoot me a pm and let me know, so that I can keep an eye out for it whenever it's done.
If nobody feels like it, then hey... nevermind. But it's worth a shot, eh?

Maybe if you could put two chest on top of each other they would turn into a cabinet, and two large chests on each other would turn into a large wardrobe.

That, sir, is a brilliant idea.
I don't know if it can be done... but I would -love- to see it if it could.

So I did some digging around, and have come to the conclusion that there really isn't a mod out there that does what I'm looking for here. And with that being said, perhaps I should be a bit more specific as to what it is that I'm wanting.
Lockers. Like what you might see in a locker-room... or a security office. Upright-standing containers which allow the player to use them just like a chest, while only taking up one block in width.
Larger chests and storage compartments (2x2, 2x3), if possible, would also be interesting... although my concern is, as always, utilizing vertical space rather than horizontal space. Also, that would likely require a customized GUI to accommodate... so I hardly expect it.
The most important factors, though, are that they stack vertically (or vertically -and- horizontally) and that the recipe's be comparable to that of making a standard chest. Any other suggestions or advice here would be listened to as well, but to be honest... I think if someone could come up with a simple solution, that would be far more likely to see the light of day.
Anyways, that's all for me for now.
I hope someone considers giving this a stab.
-Cheers!
