Hi @Dauron! It would be super awesome if half and quarter crates are added, i.e. crates which can store 2 or 4 different items in a single crate with half/quarter of the max capacity, similar to the minecraft drawers. I have no idea how hard it would be to implement such a functionality with the VS API but it would be a great feature... 

I tested the lastest version 1.6.0 with VS 1.18.8 and it appears to be working fine. Let me know otherwise.

Thanks for keeping this critical mod updated and for all of your hard work and dedication

Thank you. It seems to be working ok in rc.5 

Has anyone else been crashing with the 1.6.0-rc.1 version?
The crash that is being reported is related to the Method GenMeshData not compiling because Tyron changed a method name that GenMeshData was using. This was the issue I fixed.
It's working fine for me, tested on mutiplayer too, so I'm not sure what's going on IAmJade

Check to make sure you removed the previous version of the mod as well. I doubt it's the case, but it's the only way I could make mine crash like you described.

It may take an official release of VS 1.18 for whatever is going on to fix. I feel it's something behind the scenes that I'm not able to access. This is why I haven't released preview versions in the past.

This version and the previous 1.18 version crashes on a multiplayer server. When adding any block to a Better Crates (basic, not upgraded) crate, the call to the render method fails. 
Below is the crash report.

New version updated for VS 1.18.rc-2. It should fix the crashing issue. There was a major texturing issue with many blocks and items label model, but I seem to have gotten that fixed as well.

in v1.18.0-pre.8 the crates placed in previous version don't render the items nor the amount. the amount is rendered when interacting with the crate, you can also remove the items from the crates.

be AWARE of CTD when placing items into the crates

Thanks so much!!! I LOVE this mod and don't really like to play without it.

Looks like the version for 1.17 doesn't work on 1.18 so I released a preview version for VS 1.18.0-pre.6
Once VS 1.18 is officially released I'll recompile/upload another version then and announce it.

Will this work in 1.18??  If not, when will you update?

The best way to always get texture of any block is to use BlockCrate and BECrate way, because clutter blocks work fine on vanilla crates

Updated for VS 1.17.2. Fixed even more texture issues and scaled spears down so they fit better. There are more items like the spears that don't fit well, but I'm not going to worry about them for now as they are pretty rare items.
I'm aware that all of the new "clutter" blocks are just a white block with the red question mark. Not sure what's so special about those, but will address it in a future update.

Yep, the new update fixed the textures so ty for the quick fix! And I applied the remapping, but it remained wonky looking.

Updated for VS 1.17.1, hopefully fixes texture issues. I did not notice any myself. Make sure you are applying the block/item ID remapping when prompted first time loading up your world.

I know this is in the known issues, but with 1.17.1, all the better crates have very wrong images. The following link is a print screen image of what the items look like now.

Hello Dauron,

would it be possible to have crates that have a label/sign on two opossite sites? I'd like to use the crates as a wall, and it would be cool if one could use a better crate and a linen to "upgrade" it to have two labels so each room has the contents visible.

New version 1.4.2 compatible with VS 1.16.1+

Change:
- Modified crate upgrade process code to support modding. Modders can now add new crates and upgrades as long as their name match. For example: upgrade-diamond & bettercrate-diamond

Any chance we could get this updated to work with cotton from Hide & Fabric mod??

New version 1.4.1 compatible with VS 1.16.1.

Changes:
- Carry Capacity mod integration done through patching now. Separate versions of this mod are no longer needed.
- Display range of models and info of the labels can now be configured. Default is 50 block range. Config file will be in your VintagestoryData\ModConfig folder after loading into a world with the mod 1 time.
- Wind no longer affects item and block models on the Better Crate labels

New version 1.4.0 compatible with VS 1.16.0-rc.2+ ONLY.

New version 1.3.4 compatible with VS 1.15.9 ONLY.

- Fixed an issue with modded crocks storing together.

New version 1.3.3 compatible with VS 1.15.6 ONLY.

-Creative Mode now requires an axe in the player's hand to break a crate. This allows removing items from crates while in Creative Mode.
-Can no longer put wallpaper on the label side of a crate.
-Fixed some issues in the label renderer code.

Would it be possible to cancel the breaking of these blocks if you're in creative and not holding an axe?

New version 1.3.2 compatible with Vintage Story 1.15.5 ONLY.  Fixed visual issues with wallpapers and rope.

A very well done and very useful mod. One of those that feels like it should be in vanilla almost :)

Updated to version 1.3.0 for VS 1.15. Also Added Steel Crate that has 512 slots.

Integration with Mystic Metals for some truly large crates would be awesome, too.

Suggestion: add another 2 upgrade tiers: meteoric iron and steel crates.

To learn more about this Mod, check my Video: 

ViNTAGE STORY MOD 🧪 BETTER CRATES | GERMAN

From now on for versions of this mod: rc.1 will be the one without Carry Capacity and rc.2 will be the one with Carry Capacity config. Until I can figure something else out. I also may end up in the future only doing the Carry Capacity version or if Carry Capacity becomes integrated into Vanilla that will solve it as well.

This change will also make the 1.2.6 versions not compatible with previous 1.2.6 versions
