My plans for the next version are to have a Modular Chest that takes modules to increase its size, and will probably replace the other chests in the future
How about making a Sextuple chest that has pages (like written books)?

I am gonna get a beta release out soon with all of the new stuff
Changelog for 1.2.12 - Released
Added new function to display item in the first slot of the chest on the top and bottom of the chest.
Removed the abilty to change recipes temporarily.
Fixed the GUIs so they are now one big slot grid instead of being seperate - I know some people liked this, but this makes more sense.
Couldn't we just shift+click for the function to display the block/item on top or bottom of the chest?
Does this mod work with Inventory Tweaks?
If it does.... then that first slot might change between different things.
I have not looked into Inv Tweaks support, I might change that to shift click aswell, at this current moment in time, I am ran out of ideas and need more!
I came here hoping to see something like a mod that JUST has smaller storage options. Like bits of the furniture mods, without all the excess furniture. Maybe one that holds a dozen items, one that holds eighteen, and so forth.
The other way around doesn't interest me so much, although if it were part of a progression from tiny boxes to larger ones, I'd be interested. Especially if the colors went from violet (tiny) and indigo (small) up through to orange (huge) and red (gargantuan).
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
My YouTube channel is currently on hiatus, but I hope to get back to it at some point. Content is fairly random, but can be enjoyable, and is mostly game footage (mostly random Minecraft clips) from my nephews and me. Most popular MC vid so far is the one Vechs laughed at on Twitter!

Sounds like you're looking for something like Iron Chests or JABBA.

I looked these up on your recommendation. Iron Chests looks to be at 1.5 (though it says it should work with future Minecrafts, so maybe it would), and the chests actually look A W E S O M E , but on the other hand the info I gleaned from a quick skim says that the copper chest is 45 slots, it offers no info on how (or if) it changed the wooden chests (at least, none I could find on a couple skims through), it uses the really irritating mechanic of requiring an earlier chest to make a later chest (why in the world should an iron chest require me to have made the interior out of wood surrounded by copper? I have never understood this mechanic, even in Metallurgy), and all the videos are dead.
JABBA sounds interesting, but isn't up to 1.7.10, has a pretty poor thread design (making it hard to figure out what it actually does), no screenshots (and I strongly dislike resorting to videos because the mod author didn't do their job of putting up screenshots), some additional oddities (dollies are interesting, ore/dust changes are odd... which mod is this designed to work with, Metallurgy or something else?)... doesn't sound like something I'd use.
Thank you for the recommendations; those are two mods I had not yet run across, and I might actually grab textures from the Iron Chests mod for my chests because, as I said, they do look awesome.
Still want a mod that makes the starting chests tiny and requires you to start adding chests together or something to make storage options with more storage, until you get to regular chest size, then bigger. But a mod that's JUST chests (storage options, not necessarily chest-chests), not about other things.

Where do you see screenshots? I only see videos, and the Images tab only has the title of the mod :\
Other than that, thanks for the updated links! It's kind of odd sometimes how search engines bring up outdated threads due to popularity, and a person searching might never know a newer thread existed. That's why I made sure Pam made links to her newer thread once she moved
Have come across BetterStorage before, and keep coming back to it now and again, sitting on the fence about whether or not to make use of it. Sometimes it seems just too complex for my desires, other times it's got features that I really want to use, and all the time I worry about it breaking my save files or messing up inventory of chests and stuff... but anyway, since I'm currently working out a mod pack for my niece and nephews, who like more complex stuff, I think I'm finally going to bite the bullet and give it a try. Thanks for reminding me about it.
I have no idea what MCF actually is, but that appears to be the actual page I have been browsing trying to figure out which mods are up to at 1.7.10 - I found it via search engine. Definitely looking through here, but it's a huge amount of data to parse. My nephew got horribly bored with it before we'd reached the F's.

MCF is just a modlist, featuring 90% of mods updated to 1.7.10, leaving out mods that are completely hidden from the internet, small mods, and illeagal mods
How about making a Sextuple chest that has pages (like written books)?
Please read THIS before making a suggestion
And support the ability to add paintings and records!
I would not have to be paged, I can fit it in a normal GUI
I wouldn't consider your GUi "normal", it's very unique
It would just make it easier.

Look at the latest update
Not really, it would require alot of extra coding work for something that can be done alot easier with one gui
Take a screenshot
That does not look like your on the latest update, try that

What about making "micro" chests? You know, ones that are only 1/4 of the size of blocks, and have only a 1/4 of the space of chests?

Doing it!
