I like to think of the storage blocks in Minecraft as analogues to different types of data storage we encounter in everyday life:

• An ordinary chest is like a hard drive: it's (basically) stationary, and you can access what it stores only through direct contact.
• - A shulker box is similar to a USB flash drive: it's portable, and the things it stores can also be accessed exclusively through direct contact.
• - An ender chest, on the other hand, is just like remote personal storage: upload your belongings to the "cloud," and you'll have access to them from anywhere in the world at any time.

Don't you think something's missing? There's personal cloud storage, but there's no shared one that could act as a kind of file sharing service. And isn't it strange that we have an overworld chest, an ender chest, but no nether chest? Well, behold!

This mod adds a single block to the game - the Nether Chest. It functions almost the same way as an ender chest, except it has a shared inventory for all players on a server.

### Crafting Recipe

This crafting recipe may seem a bit expensive, but from a balancing perspective, everything is more than justified:

• The Wither is a pretty weak enemy, even at the maximum difficulty level. Thus, obtaining a couple of extra nether stars shouldn't be too challenging.
• - The Nether Chest is an "endgame" block. If you can afford to spend a nether star on crafting a chest, then a bit of time-saving isn't considered cheating. However, in the early stages of the game, exchanging items between players who are separated by thousands of blocks might be overpowered.

NOTE: Nether Chests should be handled with Silk Touch if you don't want to lose your nether stars. :)

If you play on Peaceful (or just aren't up for battling the Wither), you can use (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kir-Antipov/nether-chest/HEAD/media/simplified_nether_chest_recipe_datapack.zip) (which replaces the nether star with an eye of ender in the crafting recipe). Please refer to (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tutorials/Installing_a_data_pack) if you are unfamiliar with the process of installing a datapack.

### Multichannel Mode

When multichannel mode is enabled, each Nether Chest gains an extra slot that can be used to lock the chest to a specific channel with its own unique inventory.

### Redstone Integration

Nether Chests are compatible with hoppers and comparators.

If you have (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/cloth-config) installed, you can customize the behavior of the mod. A config is usually located at `./config/nether_chest.json` and by default looks like this:

```json { "allowHoppers": true, "allowInsertion": true, "allowExtraction": true, "enableMultichannelMode": true, "ignoreNbtInMultichannelMode": false, "ignoreCountInMultichannelMode": false, "channelBlacklist": [], "channelWhitelist": [] } ```

| Name | Description | Default value | | ---- | ----------- | ------------- | | `allowHoppers` | When enabled, hoppers will be able to access the Nether Chest's inventory | `true` | | `allowInsertion` | When enabled, hoppers will be able to insert items into the Nether Chest's inventory | `true` | | `allowExtraction` | When enabled, hoppers will be able to
