Iron Chest
alaindustrial:iron_chest
Summary
The Iron Chest is a storage block with 36 slots (4 rows of 9) — a whole row more than the vanilla chest. It uses no energy; it's just a bigger place to keep your stuff, one tier above the vanilla copper chest.
Mini-example: Copper chest full of ore? Upgrade it: put the copper chest in the center of a crafting grid and surround it with 8 iron ingots → Iron Chest, +9 slots, contents preserved.
It looks like a proper 3D chest with an animated lid (same shape as the vanilla wooden chest, only a different colour) and plays its own metallic open/close sound.
Inventory
Takes any items — 36 slots in 4 rows of 9. Shift-click moves stacks between the chest and your inventory.
| Slots | Accepts | Count |
|---|---|---|
| Storage | any items | 36 (4 rows × 9) |
Interface
A normal container window — no energy or progress bars, just the storage grid and your inventory below it. The window is slightly taller than a vanilla chest's because of the 4th row.
Block Properties
A short chest block (like all vanilla chests). Any pickaxe breaks it; it drops itself and spills its contents.
| What | Value |
|---|---|
| Shape | short column (like vanilla chests) |
| Tool | pickaxe (any tier) |
| Drops itself | yes |
Recipes
Crafted at a workbench: a copper chest in the center, surrounded by 8 iron ingots. Any oxidation stage of copper chest works, including the waxed one — its contents carry over.
Progression
The chest line goes: vanilla copper chest (27) → Iron Chest (36) → Silver Chest (45) → Gold Chest (54). Higher tiers (diamond) aren't in the mod yet.
