Storage Crates (Better Storage)[]
Storage Crates are an inventory management / storage item from Better Storage. Storage Crates are finicky blocks and will only connect to create a combined inventory space if several of them are placed in a cube-like formation or a crate pile. An opened Storage Crate can show up to a double-chest's worth of items at a time, and even if the visible inventory looks full, items can be shift-clicked into the Storage Crate inventory as long as the green bar at the upper right of the GUI is not full.
Unlike chests, it is not possible to organize a Storage Crate, as any objects placed into the Storage Crates will be shifted around randomly between any Storage Crates connected together. As a result, everytime the player opens a Storage Crate, they will see a different set of items.
Creating a Crate Pile (Connected Inventories)[]
In order to connect Storage Crates, the crates must be placed on the side of an existing Storage Crate block by shift right-clicking. If a Storage Crate is placed on a non-crate block it will not connect, even if it is adjacent to another Storage Crate.
Storage Crates need to be placed in a cube-like structure to create a basic crate pile, and these crate piles can be expanded out on any side. There is a limit to how far a crate pile can expand, and when this limit is reached, any added Storage Crates will simply refuse to connect.
Due to the specific placement requires of a crate pile, Storage Crates are not recommended for portable storage.
