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

[@piemaster6512]

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!

I Agree

[@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.

[@lawfulmeteor7104]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@kapitencraft8823]

that wouldn't even be difficult just a little Mixin into 'ItemRenderer#renderGuiItemDecorations' with @Redirect and everything'll be fine

[@tomaszgraczykowski3187]

Welcome to coding Foxy! Unfortunetely it doesn't get easier. Makes you respect all the actual wizards that create huge mods for games. Good luck tho, don't get discouraged

[@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)

[@sonamorningstar]

2:40 i can feel you. I also did that custom model loader. I finished it in about a week i looked into mantle's code(tinkers construct library). Now my gardening pots can have variety of block textures. It was truly hard experience.

[@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.

I almost fell over laughing at the reduced font bit. loi Mad respect for "learning" cough GPT a new skill just to play another loader type. Looking forward to the new series!

[@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!

[@Bigazone_0]

I`m a community manager of a small game but sometimes I have to help, I understand your pain that is going through you while making this. Well Done!!

1:56 I definitely agree with you. I tried making a mod which adds HVAC mechanics to Minecraft and it didn’t go well because Java features HardToCode technology!

[@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

[@SomeGuyEight]

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

[@ThatRogueRaven]

This is so cool, found it super inspiring! I've always been too afraid to start trying to build a mod. One of my biggest gripes is how different materials have different tiers of usefulness, ie if I want the most storage, I'm forced to have a Diamond or Netherite chest, which might not be the best option aesthetically. Upgrades are definitely the way forward, especially with Create themed storage, since then you could match your brass casing box with your machines.

[@briarblack7437]

May god bless you on your quest to put sophisticated backpacks in fabric. I have had a desire for this since 1.16 and you, you absolute MAD LAD, you're ACTUALLY DOING IT.

[@DeltaNrOne]

7:39 sums up how it feel like to be an actual programmer 11:57 turns out i was wrong THIS is what it feels like to be a programmer

[@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!!

[@nashdunes4339]

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

[@PetrickGamer0077]

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.

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@_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.

[@Flipbug_The_Whimsical]

Bloody well done! I think I like your storage boxes more than storage drawers. They're more Create-integrated and I'd say that they encourage a more balanced approach to storage.

[@XceptionalBro]

Honestly, from 0 to this, in just a month? Man that's impressive, congrats!

[@AScribblingTurtle]

Awww man, what a tease. Can't wait for that mod to come out though. Especially the Back-/Jetpacks are exciting. For Storagedrawers, you could also use the "Extended Drawers" mod. It's not a 1 to 1 replacement for storage drawers, but it offers networks, and interacts nicely with hoppers and all the other Create stuff. Also, the last time I tried it, the "Create Jetpacks" Jetpack was a nightmare to craft in survival. I could not put that damn Air Tank into that damn mechanical crafter, and getting it in the right spot via hoppers was buggy as heck.

[@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!

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!!!

[@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).

[@ContinuedOak]

As a mod developer, this is cool, welcome to the community and cannot wait to see the awesome mods you will create later!

[@CrazyKiwiGaming]

great mod but a few small thingsd i noticed to nnote down: ghost items i put things into our out of backpack and it suplicates it.. when I go to use one of items it vanishes lol. the changing between sword, pickaxe, ect doesnt work 100% on coal it flicks between 2 of the same pickaxe with different durability (no enchantments) the magnet upgrade half works to a stack then stops, dunno if thats by design or not just had to let you know. now enough negative and nit picking. i really love your mod, really great in my sub-par create skills and builds

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 !

[@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.

There was already a drawers mod for fabric xD pretty similar to the forge one, just simpler Extended drawers I would really love if anyone managed to make slope copycats, there is "templates2" that adds framed blocks with a slope, and also "open frames" that adds slopes and corners but that mod doesn't work right since they loose the texture everytime you relaunch the game to me :(, but maybe you can check their code for ideas The jetpack mod can be silenced with a simple costum resourcepack that replaces the sound file with a silent one btw :) good luck foxy!

[@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.

[@zachdailygames]

I'm so excited for the new series!

[@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

[@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.

There are a few mods that allow you to use fabric mods on Forge, and Forge mod on Fabric. These are translations layers to swap one code to another, not exactly how this works but its the easier explaination. Perhaps these mods can give you some idea how to make your own. Ofcourse you can add the Storage Drawers too then but i never used these mods so I can't verify their stability. But you van use these to gain more insight on how these work and how you might be able to create certain features.

YOURE ALIVE thank god I was starting to get worried

[@Lisalvsjohn]

[@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

[@paytonswanson956]

Great job foxy I believe in you

[@arouramn]

Crafting idea: The storage boxes would have a display board, a chest, and whatever material is used externally (industrial iron, copper casing, andesite casing, etc.), and backpacks could be the same thing, but instead of a display board, it's a leather chestplate/leather.

[@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"

[@mickys8065]

For your drawer over 64 input issue, it seems like you've already got a solution written, you just need to transfer it over from how you had the backpack refill the player items. So, make a input slot 0, which will work as the filter item, and the the only slot hopper etc can interact with for input or output. Then x number of slots the user can access which will work as bulk storage. Then add a simple check like; If slot.0 > 32, then Slot.0 -= 1 `Add 1 item to bulk storage If bulk storage == empty, lock hopper input. Elseif slot.0 < 32, then `remove 1 item from bulk storage Slot.0 += 1 End if As far as Minecraft is concerned, it's only interacting with 1 single slot, that is a vanilla 0 to 64. But, every time an item is added, the item will be removed from the slot and added to the phantom bulk storage inventory, which could go up to 999 items. And if Minecraft pulls an item from the slot.0, it will add an item to the slot, and lower the number of items in the bulk storage. Also, for jetpacks, something I've personally added before as a data pack is the idea of a tether. Where you add a create block that accepts rotational power and turns it into air, and then as long as you are within x blocks of the tether, you'll have access to that air. I'd also used it whilst making the jetpacks have barely any internal storage, so that I could only properly fly when I was inside existing infrastructure, but that was a personal preference.
