    This mod adds three blocks that can store items just like a chest. But, barrels can only store one item type, but a lot of it. The quantity that is able to be stored varies by the type of barrel used.

    Blocks
    This mod adds three blocks all storing different amounts of items.The most basic type, the Barrel can hold 64 stacks and is crafted as shown:

    The second tier, called the Ender Barrel can hold 1028 stacks of items and is crafted as shown:

    The best barrel, called the Quantum Barrel holds 4096 stacks of items and is crafted as shown:

    Notes:
    • Note that these crafting recipes can be changed within the configuration file of the mod if you would like to change them.
    • Capacities of barrels can also be configured there.

    How to use Barrels
    I made a video showing all the features of the mod:
    A re-cap:
    • You can put items into a barrel by right-clicking with your hand. All the items (if the barrels is not full) will be put into the barrels only if the item in your hand is matching the item, in the barrel.
    • You can take items out by left-clicking the barrel as if you were braking it. It will take out a stack at a time. If you want to take out individual items, you can sneak (default key is shift) and click the barrel.
    • If you want to put all the items in your inventory into the barrel, you can double right-click on the barrel.
    • If you want to upgrade a barrel (a barrel is nearing or is at capacity), you can double right-click a barrel with a barrel that is of a higher capacity. This will swap the barrel that is in your inventory with the one that is in your world without having to replace it having to re-sort all your items. Make sure you only have one barrel in your inventory or it won't work.
    • Barrels work with hoppers and dropper and other mods that have inventory changing blocks just like they would with chests, but only accept one item. Note that by default items can only exit/enter by the top and bottom. This can be changed in the configuration option.
    • If you don't like the plain look of a barrel, you can put a item frame on a barrel and it will take full advantage of it. By sneaking (default key is shift) and right clicking a item from an a side of a barrel, the item frame is going to snap onto the barrel and display whatever is in the barrel. If you want to take a item frame off the barrel, just place another item frame and both will pop of the barrel.
    • if you want to fit as many items from the barrel into your inventory, click one empty slot, then switch to another one and click again.
    • if you want to pull out a specific amount of items, sneak and hold left click, one at a time, items will flow into your inventory. Depressing left click stops the items.
    How to install
    Installation of any Minecraft mod is very easy. Instal the latest version of Minecraft Forge for your Minecraft version and run the game once. A folder in your installation of the game sound appear that is called "mods". Insert the barrels mod into the folder run the game and enjoy. There is no need to change anything in the installation file in order to get the mod to work no matter how many mods you previously had installed.

    Licence
    This mod is open source and free for anyone to redistribute and modify. Yes I know, this mod is similar to the barrels added by factorization (based on them too). The creator of the mod (neptunepink) has allowed me to do this.

    Looks okay to me. (on forge 12.16.0.1865)

    Maybe the crafting recipe is a little weird in the configuration file. Make sure it looks something like this:

    crafting {
    # This allows you to change the crafting recipe.
    S:T1barrelCrafting=shaped;logWood;logWood;logWood;item,iron_ingot;nothing;item,iron_ingot;logWood;logWood;logWood
    S:T2barrelCrafting=shaped;item,blaze_rod;block,obsidian;item,blaze_rod;item,ender_pearl;barrel,T1barrel;item,ender_pearl;item,blaze_rod;block,obsidian;item,blaze_rod
    S:T3barrelCrafting=shaped;block,obsidian;item,blaze_rod;block,obsidian;item,diamond;barrel,T2barrel;item,diamond;block,obsidian;item,blaze_rod;block,obsidian
    }


    I only tries crafting the t1 barrel only. Maybe it's not working for higher tier of the barrel. What barrel are you trying to craft exactly?

    Hey I'm back from hiding under a rock. I guess this whole Donald trump thing in the US got me a little frightened. Anyway I updated the mod for 1.8.8 (works for 1.8.9 also though) I hope you enjoy. One disclaimer: I removed downloads for older versions because I don't plan on touching those if people have problems.

    The update is coming along. It was mostly just trying to figure out how the new minecraft code works. The network code has been re-written so i'm almost done the update. All there really is left is the new rendering system. It's so different from the old one and I don't even who where to start.



    I started with all the classes having errors. Not so bad.

    Uh, apparently Minecraft Forums stopped sending me e-mails so I didn't know that the mod is not compatible with the new forge. I'll try and get a fix up soon but school started for me today. It might take some time.

    posted a message on Logistic Pipes Request GUI mod
    If you're like me, you like Logistic pipes. But, when dislike something so much, I spend hours re-doing what I didn't like. I made a new GUI for logistic pipes orderer.

    Downloads

    How to install
    The installation for this is similar to how you install mods before minecraft forge.

    You take a archive program like 7-zip open up your existing logistic pipes installation.

    Find the META-INF folder in the root directory. Delete it.

    Drag and drop everything inside the zip for the download. You don't need to change anything else. Close everything down and you should be able to start up minecraft.

    It is a good idea to back up your world before doing this because you or I could screw something up.

    The mod
    Here is the main GUI:


    Here is the old GUI:


    As you can see, this is much different than the default GUI. I switched the page layout to a scroll bar layout. The entire GUI follows this layout. The changes:
    • You can select multiple items at the same time
    • The item amount selector is changed to a text field, so you can type in any number as oppose to using the buttons.
    • Request button is disabled if you don't have any items selected.
    • search field uses default minecraft text field implementations so you'll be able to so some more fancy stuff with text.
    • Buttons are micro managed - properly spaced in the GUI.
    I did make sure everything works, including the not well know macros that logistic pipes let you do:

    Of course using the new scroll bar theme. You may also select more then one macro.

    For backpacks:

    I love the idea of adding to the normal inventory, and being accessible just like ordinary inventories.

    Existing backpacks/bags, by requiring you to access a different inventory screen, and transfer stuff, makes things a little more painful.

    I also like the idea that there's only 9 extra slots. A little more, but not excessively more.

    Now, I'd like to see something about "wear over armor". Either instead of chest armor, or perhaps limit your chest to only leather?

    ===

    How do you handle interacting with chests, especially double chests?
    Making backpacks accessible from other inventories then your own press 'e' inventory is impossible because of how badly written the containers are in minecraft. If you make a texture pack, you would know that inventories are just one single image impossible to expand in code. I'm already having some work cut out for me by re-writing the regular inventory. What I did is I split the inventory textures into smaller textures, witch then are later stitched in code so I can expand the inventory space by 1, 000, 000 rows just by changing a variable.

    Some problems I am running into:
    There are lots of places in code where minecraft does a check to see if it is assessing a valid inventory spot like this:
    if (slotNum > 0 && slotNum < 36)

    Notice the lack of variables here. I would need to change it to this in order for it to work:
    if (slotNum >0 && slotNum < player.inventory.slotRows * 9 + 9)

    No doubt some mods are going to do this, so I need to make the rest of minecraft think that this is still a 36 slot inventory but really it's a 45 slot inventory or something for now.

    Probably the reason nobody ever attempted to increase inventory space before is because it's so difficult, and surely will have A LOT of compatibility issues. The only thing I am aiming for here is a working mod and proper compatibility with The Barrels Mod, don't expect this mod to be a game changer.

    I felt like a douche to just leave a (better) working version of the mod on my computer so I re-released the beta. Now, I just need to tackle the network bugs.

    My barrels are glitchy and items taken from them can disappear if i try to use them.
    I pulled a stack of coal out of a barrel, put it next to 15 sticks and tried to craft 60 torches. The stack disappeared and it gave me 4 torches (the sticks were fine).

    To test, I just pulled a stack of cobble out and moved it twice in my inventory. It turned into one cobble. I tried to put it with a stack of 58 cobble. It disappeared, the 58 cobble was unaffected. I tried again. The second time i picked it up it turned into one cobble again. I tried to place it, and it disappeared. :c

    so many glitches with this mod ._. Like seriously no joke...Oh and some times, Some barrels will literally go missing ._.
    Havemt you people noticed that 3.3 is a beta? I was doing some big changes to the network compression code and the item disappearing side is caused by the glitches in that code. Use 3.2 - it works
