NEW!!! - Making a Create Mod Storage Addon - Minecraft Mods

STORAGE ADDON - JETPACK - BACKPACKS - UPGRADES
I''ve spent the last month coding a Create Addon that adds storage boxes, backpacks and even a jetpack to the Fabric version of the Create Mod.
This video showcases how to make a create mod addon using Fabric which should also work for forge modding too!
It includes several varieties of storage boxes, each with different sized inventories, which can all be filtered using the Create filters.
It also includes several varieties of Backpack, each with two storage compartments, large stack sizes and a whole bunch of upgrades including Magnet Upgrades, Refill Upgrades, Feather Falling Upgrades and even a Jetpack upgrade!

If you open source your mod, your community would be able to assist with things! I wouldn't let anyone and everyone able to do it, but growing a small community of people to support it would be awesome. I can't tell you how badly I've wanted a (decent) storage drawers equivalent in fabric!

[@asontacosta7106]

I Agree

[@krystofkuh]

Exatctly what I wanted to say. I totaly agree.

[@agent_artifical]

as a IT guy, i love open source things and i am totaly down

[@kibaofficial6332]

i would love to take a look at the code if it's open source and make some improvements

[@LitesLAB]

Agreed to this @FoxyNoTail

[@Mr76Pontiac]

The >999 display issue in the backpack inventory, when the number gets larger than that, start showing 1.0K or 10k (Since 10.0k would be greater than 4 characters). Most of the time, when you get into numbers that large, you're not THAT concerned about how many items you exactly have. If you want to show that exact number, do like AE and RS do and when you hover over the item, show the exact counts. [EDIT] 1000=1.0K in string length, yes, but, because the period is so small and you're not using fixed-font sizes, it SHOULD work. That is until you get into +100k, then you're on your own. ;) Although, you could add an easter egg and when you get over 99K items, just change the text to "LOTS".

[@GaryKertopermono]

+100k isn't that much of a problem, you just change it to 0.1M.

[@TrideGD]

I respect the hell out of you for learning how to mod for this. It'll be so cool to see you progressing through something that you made yourself

It's the gd guy!

Well done, Foxy. Glad you still have the mad scientist in you.

[@BraydenTegenkamp-zi9dr]

You just need to spend a little more time on it

[@ghyro2848]

Recipe suggestions: Each Drawer can be crafted from he tier below, the approprate casing, a display board, and some additional components if needed. The base drawer would need a barrel to craft. The backpacks are made in a similar way, but instead of the display board they need leather, the barrel becomes a bundle (as long as you would want that enabled), and instead of the casing they just need the ingot version.

[@Andrea_Selena]

I would slightly alter the backpack crafting using sheets instead of ingots. Furthermore the Upgrades might be best made from a iron sheet surrounded by four andersite alloy, for the simple/easy ones. And harded sheet and diamonds for the more sophisticated ones, i.e. the jetpack.

[@koltonhenricksen4173]

what about making the test read in shorthand like storage drawers? after 1000 it list it with "k" 1.6k... i know coding is difficult im just rendering ideas

[@ghyro2848]

Afaik that would require a change in the property that the GUI reads from. If the GUI reads text and not a number to display, changing this is very easy by adding a single formatting method. If the GUI expects an actual number, that will be a lot more challenging to do.

[@samuelhulme8347]

@@ghyro2848 Minecraft uses Components (which are fancy wrappers around strings which support formatting like colours) for all text. Since the number has to be converted into a string anyway, the extra manipulation would be simple.

[@ChrisMarissael]

This is legitimately incredible. But I learned earlier today that Sophisticated Backpacks and Storage both have (unofficial) Fabric ports.

[@asdfasdfasdf2053]

Sophisticated backpacks fabric is an unofficial post, and seems to be 8 days old, at least on Modrinth, so I'm sure the timing had a lot to do with Foxy's motivation.

[@JonasRabbe]

I wish I had a few hundred likes to give you, this is perhaps the best illustration of what it feels like to implement any significant amount of software. And with the best humor to make any programmer smile.

[@SlicedMC]

Uhm foxy… there’s a fabric port of sophisticated backpacks… I will say tho the fact you made your own is amazing but just uh letting yknow 😂

[@nika207]

What's it called??? Could never find it

[@asdfasdfasdf2053]

@@nika207 It's barely over a week old from what I can tell on Modrinth, so that's probably why you (and I) couldn't find it before.

[@lieonlion]

That however does use something called Porting Mod, adds a bunch of Forge stuff into fabric/quilt, Foxy doing it without is really impressive

[@SlicedMC]

@@nika207Farley new I believe and from what I remember it’s only on curseforge but just search it up

[@SlicedMC]

@@lieonlionI agree it’s insanely impressive and yeah it’s litterally just a direct translation from forge to fabric

[@renderproductions1032]

Was not expecting the Ryan George clip, but I loved it!

[@snippedtiex]

If I had to guess, drawers are saving a reference item with it's nbt data and just match and count them separately, that's why to maximum number a drawer can store is a 'long' (2-isch billion)... Which would explain why it has no interface in the first place because the items technically don't exist once they are in a drawer (about the drawer max-size)

[@alexandertornqvist2730]

Amazing work! Glad to hear that the series is about to start again, super excited!

[@everst1d420]

good on you for new adventures in your life. I wanted to say that I missed having your videos to watch for the last month. glad your back!

[@paulpearson7801]

Super excited to see you back! Love what are you doing!

[@AzureMastermind]

Just finished my binge of your Create World and am blown away that you are also modding in missing stuff! You are amazing! Keep it up, what your doing makes a lot of sense and just shows you deserve more success and praise

[@redbeard3771]

Glad your back been missing your videos. Hope your new mod list has better nether and better end in it that would be really cool to see what you could do with it!!!

[@flaw7860]

Very nice I like the fact you're just taking matters into your own hands when things you want don't exist yet. Keep it going!!!

[@jasonscott9699]

Foxy you blow my mind with the dedication you put into things first with all your bedrock addons and now this! plus the fact that you are self taught is just incredible. Good on you sir

this is incredible! cant wait to see your progress

[@williamhenderer2091]

He's back!!

[@weetman77]

I am really looking forward to your mod! Proud of you! Modding is not easy. I help my partner with the textures, recipes, and names for the one he has been working on for fabric for over a month.

[@_eightMan]

Extended drawers is pretty good. Honestly, I would love the textures you made on their drawers too lol. Nice work!

[@SirDizarm]

I also am looking into making a backpack for minecraft, but I am stuck at 1.16.5 and forge. But I have managed to make a cake that you can baka a item into, then only able to remove the item once you remove a few slices, and cant be put on a hopper to steal the items. So I have the core features for a backpack, I just need to figure out the thing with a window gui that is only for said item and that I have not figured out yet. But making a fabric modpack is way over my head, I tried making a smaller mod but the things they called every function/var was so totaly different from how forge called stuff so I stopped and only focused on making for forge. But thumbs up for you that you managed to make all this possible! YAY you rock!

Wow, you are working hard, me notail, once you asked for a recipe idea, I came up with some for those boxes All in a vertical line, a displaboard, a chest or barrel (or storage vault) and their respective casing

[@krzysztofkiedos805]

I was wondering where are you for a longer time without an episode and it turns out you were just sewing backpacks with Fabric!(it's a pun) It was a great episode! I would love to see more of such content :D Great job with all those so far! Can't wait to see further progress :D

Yay you posted I’m so happy to watch it

[@techwizsmith7963]

I will say, your drawers aren't really drawers, they're just big chests. I believe the entire original point of drawers were "I have way to much of a handful of items, I wish I had a bulk storage option for them" that wasn't just "vanilla chest but better"

[@zachdailygames]

I'm so excited for the new series!

[@ianhammond7053]

awesome work !

[@gregscacchi9297]

Wow ! I'm impressionate by your work and dedication ! You're started from scratch and made all of this ! It's very incredible ! But wouldn't be easier if you hire a person how know very well how to code for fabric and did it for you ? Yes it cost money, and potentially a lot, depends on how many hours it takes the dev to do it and his experience, but it would save you a lot of time. But you did it your way, how you wanted to do it and that's the most important thing. Maybe try to find someone in your community (not me, i don't know anything in coding) how you can trust and help you to improve it and to make the storage drawer in a fabric version !

[@BlueDavrial]

Oh hey, you and I both then, Foxy! I actually just yesterday finished the mod i was working on to add indicators for Create and other such mods which would find them handy! Was inspired by your series even. It's just now up on Curse, by the name of *ANC Indicators* . EDIT: Ah your new pack is on Fabric, that's unfortunate. Made my mod to be usable with your original Forge pack. Alas. Ships in the night.

[@paytonswanson956]

Great job foxy I believe in you

[@cryingsoul666]

Good to see you back foxy. I wanted to make a suggestion for the stack six label. Instead of making it smaller why not just change what it says. For example instead of saying 1,200 it could say 1.2k

[@ChloeLGBTUK]

Can't wait for the new series it's gonna be so awesome

[@BallyhooParliament]

Love to see you making a mod for better accessibility of features for more fabric equality. Parity between both is needed to make choosing mods/packs easier. That said I do have some... Questions: 1. Do tools get mended while in the backpack? 2. Will food get wasted or a filter for chosen type with autofeed? 3. Is magnet range configurable? 4. Will the storage drawers have a compacting version? 5. Will this mod be available to download when finished proper? and Suggestions to try when less busy: 1. Maybe add the GUI for gages of the back-tank/pack but put it as a configurable toggle on/off? 2. Make the stacks covert to scientific (1200 is 1.2K) if possible to shorten length 3. Add a filter to swap so an axe with efficiency 4 or lower is used for tree chopping 4. For toolless blocks have it switch to hand unless silk touch is needed to get the block back 5. Add trims to connect which are "hoppers" pulling from any side, top or bottom or just attach a slave (below) to part of a storage inventory Add storage slaves that connect any storage inventory type (connected by trims above)and add it to the world storage controller inventory 6. Make enchantable tools that act like vanilla tools but use compressed air instead of durability if available [chisel = pick, pneumatic shovel, hatchet = axe, vicegrip = shears, air blaster = hoe for examples] (to feel more create-y) 7. Add flippers and weights to make underwater movements better (buoyancy and propulsion) with helmet and tank

This is why sinytra connector is a thing. Love it to pieces with how wide the compatibility is with almost every mod

Hey, yk you could use sinytra connecter to run fabric mods on forge😋but I also respect you for learning how to mod, great work man!

[@SuperMegaCoffeeGuru]

Always impressed that a fox can do so much with a computer

[@casualfurry7671]

Just wanted to say, by all means please keep developing these mods as they seem really interesting and I like that you're using your own take on them. However, I did want to say that you could potentially solve the issue of choosing between Forge and Fabric by using Quilt. Quilt is a fork of Fabric that has compatibility with Forge mods, so most mods will be available just fine on there by using Quilt.

[@GabeLily]

The tools section is pretty innovative, that's cool (also, 1K instead of 1000 is an option for the rendering issue)

[@thejester-king4135]

It may not be the final product you had in mind but it is a very solid foundation and framework; all in all I say well done (I have no experience coding mods)

[@seabearattack8851]

YOURE ALIVE thank god I was starting to get worried

[@bubbycraft66]

Simple recipe idea for the storage box: Redstone torch top Andesite (or respective tier/color) casing middle display board bottom This way it is not too expensive for someone just starting out, but also forces the player to get into create a bit before being able to use it! Plus, it already looks like a display board on the front anyways. for the backpack/upgrades, just have a similar recipe as the sophisticated backpacks. no reason you can't do that. but maybe replace the iron/gold/diamond/etc with whatever create material you like? for the hardened version used a diamond or netherite? for the jetpack, maybe craft a backpack with a couple of encased fans and a couple of steam engines or something? Just some ideas :) Hope that helps! Love the content!! Thanks for making this mod a thing!!

[@defom_kills]

I am very much looking forward to the release of your mod as it looks like a dream, as if we are the same player with the same needs which this mod satisfies

[@Ekipsogel]

Some ideas for crafting recipes: The drawers should need the casing they are made of, a barrel (because that’s what vaults and fluid tanks use), an electron tube if you get the network stuff working, and some iron sheets because why not. For the backpacks, some leather, the casing/material it’s made of, and a barrel. For the upgrades, a sturdy sheet and maybe an electron tube for all of them, a mechanical arm? for magnet? It’s the only thing in create that picks up from range, but it’s probably too expensive. a brass hand for pickup, a (smart?) chute for refill, a smart chute and food (probably a golden carrot) for feeding (like you’re setting the filter for the smart chute), two propellers and a precision mechanism for jetpack, a smart observer is the only thing I could think of for pick block, and a pickaxe, axe, and shovel (any kind) for tool swap. (edit: forgot no fall damage) two feathers, and a phantom membrane if it needs to be more expensive.

[@Ekipsogel]

Saw someone else mention a display board for the drawers which makes a lot of sense

[@user-xh3mg4yd8n]

Hard work learning code , putting it to such a great use should make it all worth it :)

[@PhilipOConnell]

@FoxyMoTail Fantastic you managed to make your own mod to replace some of the missing features. When you started modding back in season one which tutorials did you use to learn how to make a mod and did you use anything like crafttweaker?

[@1UnderKable]

An idea you could use if possible to get around the 3 character limit of the item number is wrap around to 1 again for 1000 but change the color of the text to show that it's the next step up. You could add a handy little legend that shows you what each color represents. It wouldn't require you to mess with adding letters to the amount and could be kind of fun to see a bunch of colorful numbers in the backpack.

[@LyingTube]

As an experienced modder, I commend you for putting in the effort to try and make it yourself. Seriously that is by itself way beyond my expectations. Points off for resorting to ChatGPT, but still bravo.

[@jonathanjancik6932]

The hero we wanted and the hero we needed 🦸‍♂️ Well done 💪🏼

[@jaydon2863]

You know I would have paid somebody to do it but you have some real determination

[@Darkbuilderx]

One way to get funnels working properly might be pointing them to a separate buffer inventory that your mod then inserts into the main inventory, which can be done properly since it's aware of the bigger stack limit.

[@Patrickagem]

Bro. Im from Brasil and just want say you're insane.

[@DakotaPrideModding]

4:37 "The Fabric Mod is a special kind of animal" As a mod developer who started on Fabric, but now does the majority of their projects on Forge - I can confirm, Forge Events just make life easier lol. Fabric is nice for beginners who don't typically deal with Mixins and the like, plus the usual performance increase, but Forge does complicated things in a much nicer way, in my opinion.

[@kalwantspizza]

I was skeptical about the backpacks since Sophisticated just got ported to 1.20.1 Fabric, but you had me at Jetpack upgrade.

[@kabobawsome]

Seconding the notes that open sourcing the mod on release would help improve it a ton. If you make it as a Git project, you would still have full control of what makes it into the mod, but through pull requests, the community could help squash bugs, add additional features (like those crafting upgrades or the higher numbers on backpacks or bigger slots in barrels), and even clean up the code to make the mod more performant (ChatGPT code tends to work but is... often messy).

[@ashlyn_a4s0n_afton]

So then this is y u haven’t been uploading for a while pwp anyway, I’m excited for when u start a new series! :3 also, I’m so sry u suffered while making that mod but hopefully it was all worth it pwp

If anything I would want the backpack mod that seems a very fun

[@Justmebeingme37]

He may have lost his tail but this fox is amazing. Always creating something

[@jonnyrichards]

I'm sure you might have thought of this already (and may not want to do it) but for the drawers it might be better to have them not be a "real inventory" and instead just hold the number of stored items. That way you can (presumably, idk) make them trick hoppers etc. to behave and just handle actually storing items separately.

[@PetrickGamer0077]

You should make a series of videos teaching how to make addons for create mod!

[@user-sq9lm5jm7t]

[@_Adrien1106]

I’m working on more advanced port of Framed Blocks on fabric. It’s based on Templates 2. It’s called ReFramed and can be found on Modrinth. I may add slopes depending on how much requested it is. Otherwise you can use it to understand how to do it yourself knowing slopes were present in Templates 2.
