Tired of stuffing everything into chests and trunks?
Wish you could organize your items in a more visual and intuitive way?
With this mod you can!
If you want to contact me or see more info about the mod plans, reach out on the VS Discord channel, or DM me - @sonzina.
Backup your world before updating ANY mod - unintentional things can happen and you might lose your stuff!
Compatible with: Combat Overhaul: Armory.
This mod contains Built-in texture variations.
Confused? Just hover over a block in your inventory to see what kinds of items it can hold.
This mod is in very early development so feel free to suggest new storage ideas!
If you like this mod, checkout: Food Shelves
Known Issues:
- Blocks that can open/close like to sometimes hide other blocks with active animations when they are open and when a player is looking through the window. Can't really do much about that :/

Initial public release. |
I just discovered this mod, unfortunately I'm playing in 1.20.4. Has anyone else tried the 1.20.7 to see if it would work?
Do you think you could add compatibility with the clothes from the dressed to kill mod?
ryanberry Not that i know of, i've heard of 1 report about textures not being very synced between clients, but again this mod uses the exact same codebase from Food Shelves and i never got any reports about that mod having issues in multiplayer past 2.0, so i don't know what to make of it - this mod has issues and FS doesn't yet they have the same logic behind them? I'm not sure what to tell you, it might be a conflict of some sorts or perhaps when servers got a bit optimized in 1.20.10/11/12 it broke something - but again FS doesn't have those issues. For storing the clothing you might try to store them in the wardrobe or hat rack (if you have the most recent version since i whitelisted more stuff), otherwise no.
Is there known issues with this mod and multiplayer?
I was using the wooden wardrobe (no glass) and put several shirts in with no issue, then added the Malefactor Tunic and I think Marketeer Tunic. The wardrobe duped itself into a closed greyed out state, which was only visible for me, not the other player. The two mentioned clothing items were not visible while the grey wardrobe was there also.
I didn't see it on my end, but the other player said the same thing happened to the glove rack and hat rack. But for him, removing the item and placing it back fixed it.
I had to relog to fix the wardrobe issue.
Also, is there any way to store the default class clothing that's like, a hood and tunic combo? And sashes?
ASILiara Yeah i didn't include the "world interaction" (hints that pop up) for some blocks, It would probably be a good idea to add that too.
SONZINA, is this a "game doesn't tell me" moment, or a "I can't read" moment? If it's the former, I might recommend putting it in the documentation somewhere, or maybe as a pop-up when you mouse over the block?
Love this mod (and your Food Shelves). I'd like to add a vote for a bridle hook, like the bucket hook, for hanging up the tack.
NiclAss Thanks!!
ASILiara Have an empty main slot and just shift+ctrl click them. It should take out a stack of them. As for the Better Ruins compat, i'll note it for the next update.
Using the various storage things is a bit slow at times. Any chance we could get some crate-like controls for the grass bin, seed bins, and so on?
Also, compatibility with Better Ruins to hold the various blueprints added by that mod in the schematic rack would be super cool.
Amazing mod!
That worked thank you!!
lydocia I'm... not sure what you mean by that? I'm pretty sure that just the screenshots and the short description are fine? If you mean if there's some kind of "catalogue" in-game, just open the handbook and type "mod: purposeful" and everything from this mod will pop up. Either that, or go into creative and check out the Purposeful Storage tab.
Is there an overview of what this mod adds?
wXMaddogXw It's not a problem with the mod, there are some "problems" as to how the game (and the C# engine) loads the mod files. Be sure to shut your game down completely, then delete the v1.0.1 from the Mods folder, and then put the new, fresh installation of the mod inside. After that open up the game and check if it's enabled in the Mod Settings. It should work, good luck!
Love this mod!! I'm playing with an old version (1.0.1) and am having issues upgrading to the newest version. Any tips for upgrading? I just keep getting the white boxes with the ?s with any other version other than 1.0.1.
Taeo I know some mods add their own Tuning Cylinders so if you have any of those it might be a perfect fit?
ClosedBoudy The rack for the shorter weapons I might implement, but don't hold your hopes high, since the toolrack already does a decent job. If I do decide to implement something like that it's not gonna be anytime soon.
SoggyHotdog Thanks :) What do you mean by "coolest cloths"? Like an item? What would it be used for and why would it be a fit for this mod?
MPMarcs Thanks, I'm glad you like it :)
Stop! I'm already eating up the Food Shelves mod, and now you bring us THIS!? This mod is AWESOME!
This is such a cool mod that alot of people have been wanting but you perfected it. A suggestion though is that you add a charactor trait that can make special tools to make the coolest cloths.
First off this mod is freaking amazing, I'd love to see a version of the weapon rack to holds one weapon as that would work amazingly as a mantle piece and perhaps a shorter version of both for shorter weapons?. Keep up the amazing mods
thats fair, I'll just have to grab 6 doubles to fill the extra spaces so it doesn't look odd
Vovedad Thanks. The suggestions you outlined are already planned :)
Taeo Unfortunately I have no idea how'd I arrange them to look alright since they kinda have the size to only fit 4 on an axis. That and I don't really want to add yet another variant just for the storage of those, sorry
the new cylinder storages are legit, but I humbly beg for a version that can hold 10, or 5 if that works better. 🙇
Awesome Mod!
Played with this and the Food Shelves on my latest run and I love them!
My small and humble suggestions:
pimblokto Thanks! Belt storage was actually planned for initial release, but belts have very inconsistent shapes so i scrapped the idea for now.
Svarrmir Thanks! There's a mod for that i forgot how it's called, but i do plan on implementing something similar.
Just wanted to say that I LOVE this mod! Feels like it should be in the vanilla game ❤️
Suggestion: Some sort of wall rack/hook for displaying only ONE item, like for example just a sword, pickaxe or shield so you can hang it over your fireplace or door, would be awesome :)
Love this mod! Do you plan on adding coat storage or belt storage?
PurpleMaker Thanks :)
Rythillian Yeah the base game weapons are all very short (except spears of course). Grass bin uses a lot of tris? You mean it drags performance down? If so then yeah, both Food Shelves and this mod are very visual so they do affect performance a bit especially if your system is a bit on the lower end.
These mods both have priority on physical, visual storage, so I don't plan on making them display a flat, textured cube like crates do.
Very interesting mod, shame that more swords/weapons from base game can't be used in the weapon racks. Also my one big critque would be the dry crash bin uses a TON of tris on all those grass models. I'd really reccomend switching that to just be more simple by doing something like leaf blocks with billboarding or what barrels/open crates do!
Great mod!
Willownezz I'm glad you like them :)
BlackMoonHowling Thanks :) and yes, they're planned. Not sure when I'll implement them though.
I love this mod!! Any chance of doing a shelf that could store saddles/bridles/medallions?
Your mods are so nice, having a proper storage room is a must.🤩
I can see there look to be shelves for necklaces but can't find them in my game at all. Same with the racks for resonator cylinders, and whatever that is on the top back wall in the first pictures (gloves?). Are they planned for a future update? Loving this so far, what a great idea!
Editing to add I'm just stupid and seem to have an older version of the mod! My bad.
JoLaChevre Hi, I'm kind of tired adding compatibility with various other smaller mods, and I especially don't like adding them to mods that can change and update frequently - adding new items (this mod will update frequently as well and I can't really keep up with all the various other mod updates). Due to the scope of this mod, I'll personally write compatibility patches for mods that I personally play with or with popular mods (such as Combat Overhaul). Other compat patches (like for American Frontiersman) will possibly come in the future when I have enough content in the mod and when i can switch focus to providing general compatibility.
So you'd have to request the compatibility for those mods to be added by the devs of those mods. It is very simple, it only requires some basic .json patching and I can of course help if they reach out.
Of course since you need it for your modpack, you can also write these patches yourself since it's very easy and there's examples in purposefulstorage/patches, cheers!
Taeo :))
SONZINA
haha, nice. Looking forward to whatever you come up with next
Hi ! First of all, very good work! I really love your mod so far!
Could you consider adding a compatibility for the wool & more (https://mods.vintagestory.at/wool) and the american frontiersman: western wears (https://mods.vintagestory.at/americanfrontiersman) mods? It would be a very nice addition on the modpack I'm working on ! :)
Thank you !
Top!! <3
Taeo Most of those occured to me and they are very good suggestions! I'm glad we think alike.
oh nice, this is really cool. The glider mount is my favourite
Some Ideas:
Tuning cylinder Storage - something more compact and focused than scroll racks
Shield Storage - maybe a wall mount that could hold 2-3 swords behind it? Two crossed and one vertical. Would make a great display
Freestanding sword rack. For one handed weapons only probably, standing vertically. Maybe also crossbows/firearms/bows
Masks could go in the hat rack
Hat hook/Coat hook, for hanging your hat and/or jacket by the front door, Top of the hat or front of the coat would probably face you.
Glider schematic/Story map Storage. Maybe like a picture frame?
Glass cases to hold elk medallions/pins
Box for holding pigments (charcoal, limestone etc) for signs/crate labels etc. Like you'd see chalk in at an old school.
Parts bins for all the Jonas Parts, for a proper tinkerer's workshop. Or maybe a bench with drawers?
Wall mountable spools for thread and linen. Holds one color at a time, the roll just gets bigger or smaller depending on how much is in there.
SONZINAThanks so much! (Im new to the game so that helps a lot)
HolyDesign You can search "mod: Purposeful" in the handbook and it will list all the blocks from this mod. Or, you can go into creative and checkout the "Purposeful Storage" tab, cheers!
Hey :D
Is there a way to have a list of all the added storages blocks? I'm having a hard time having ideas on what to use, so would be cool to know what is fully available
Thanks!
Feycat If you're on singleplayer just edit the modinfo file and change the dependency to 1.20.7.
Is there any way to get an earlier version, is it stored somewhere? I'm on 1.20.7 and I'm not upgrading until they fix the bowtorn squad bug.
Xozkov Will check the clutter, if it fits - will probably add it!
CrusadingPriest At some point probably yes.
McJty you can write "mod: Purposeful" in the handbook, it will display all the content from this mod. In short, currently has some clothing storage blocks like the Wardrobe, Blanket Racks, Hat Racks, Shoe Racks, then some weapon storage (currently only 1) - the Weapon Rack, then some general storage like the Grass Bin, Glider Mount and the Gear Rack. That's all content from this mod right now.
Feetlicks Currently, no. Will be implemented at some point.
is there a item for holding pants?
I tried this mod but it's not easy to find all the block it adds since I already have a lot of other mods. Can you give a summary?
I love your Food Shelves mod and I'm extremely excited for this mod. Can we get saddle stands and a place to hang the other Elk attachments?
Thank you.
Love this and food shelves! I think it would be neat to add functional versions of the coat rack clutter items, they'd essentially be one block versions of the wardrobe. Maybe other clutter items too if there's not already a mod for those
Khaje Afaik they don't add any clothing items, only armor additions right? Currently there's no armor clothing storage in this mod. If i add it i'll support it, meow.
Chance this could get compatibility to work with Forlorn Hope and Blackguard Additions? Meow
rhino1998 Most likely on my end, just have to offset them a little bit. Will note it for the next update/patch, thanks! I kinda forgot that PS also adds some gears.
VoltaireAro Well what better mod than this one from the same creator :). The 2 upperbody clothes with hoods clip through the "pole" as well, I haven't found a solution for it yet but oh well. For now it's gonna clip, I might edit the hood part out, I'll see.
Not sure if this is an issue on this mod's end or on primitive survival, but the primitive survival gears are offset when placed on the gear rack
I was literally looking for another storage mod just like Food Shelves but for other things like Clothes and the mass amount of dry grass I've accrued, only to be met with this upon opening the ModDB. Thank you :D
A small funny thing I immediately noticed is that the Fur Coat's hood slightly clips out of the wardrobe lol
RuinousLibrarian If you have a mod you want compatibility with this mod, just say which one it is - it's not that hard to add so it can be done both ways but probably best to handle it on my side since i'll add more stuff and i can include the compat with subsequent updates.
I wonder if theres a way to make the clothing storage automatically recognize modded clothes that don't have compatibility. anyway, excelent mod! The wardrobes make me incredibly happy.
Thanks you
Nymue Thanks :) I don't plan on stopping there, I'm just getting started!
Oh bless you for giving us attractive closets in addition to attractive cellars! <3
ah, ok, makes sense
Kappir Of course, some of them are simply too short (or too long such as pikes) to be stored on the rack.
It seems that not all combat overhaul weapons can be stored on the rack
