Updated 1-22-22: New version 1.4.1 compatible with Vintage Story 1.16.1+ ONLY.
This mod introduces a new storage block with a new mechanic for Vintage Story. These "Better Crates" can only store one type of item but they store much more of it than a wooden chest.
Features:
- No GUI element but instead shows the item model with quantity on the label.
- Interact by left clicking to take items out and right clicking to insert items. They can only be broken with an axe.
- Upgradable to the next tier by using an upgrade item on them, no need to put into crafting window to upgrade.
- Fully multiplayer compatible. Including claim protected, reinforcement and locking mechanic.
- Compatible with hoppers and chutes. Bottom side is the output. All other sides can be inserted into.
- Rotates when placed. Can also be placed into the floor to face up or ceiling to face down.
- Detailed Handbook information with links to each new block/item. Just search for "Better Crate".
- Reactive block interaction overlay information.
- Compatible with Carry Capacity mod. Highly recommended! Note: Crates can only be carried by hand.
Known Issues:
- While nearly all blocks/items display correctly, some blocks that have overlays such as soil with grass will display without the grass. This only applies to creative mode as you can't have those blocks in survival. There is always the possibility with mods and newer game versions that new blocks/items may not display correctly.
- Very rarely when broken the label quantity text will not get destroyed. This seems to only happen in creative mode. This will fix if you restart the game.
- Anvil work items in 1.14+ will not display properly. I feel this is a rare case usage and have not devoted time to fixing the issue for now.
Notes:
- As of version 1.4.1 the display range of models and info of the labels can now be configured. Default is 50 block range.
The "BetterCratesConfig.json" file will be in your VintagestoryData\ModConfig folder after loading into a world with the mod one time.
This file can be edited with common text editors such as Notepad.

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.

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
