Still works in Pre release

NomadicPirate , Feb 7th at 1:30 AM

WintersRaine Thank you for posting! It lets other people know it still functions. Also, good to know I don't need to change anything. Cheers! 🍻

WintersRaine, Feb 6th at 6:21 PM

NomadicPirate So far I have tried this on the new Prerelease. Is still working as intended

NomadicPirate , Jan 25th at 7:00 PM

JasonFinch I really need to look into it. Not quite sure how it works or how i'd patch it. I'll give it a try though.

JasonFinch, Jan 25th at 6:59 PM

perhaps sortable chests compatability?

NomadicPirate , Jan 25th at 6:54 PM (modified Jan 25th at 6:55 PM)

CG23Sailor Trunk size is updated.
DigitalHareValkyrja's Vessels compatibility added. I set them at 24 slots since they're just vanilla vessels with different textures.

CG23Sailor, Jan 25th at 3:13 AM

In response to an earlier comment.
I get that you are not simply doubling inventory in regard to the trunk and 72 slots is excessive.

HOWEVER...
Not doubling the trunk inventory, but the expanded trunk inventory should be double the chest inventory, otherwise you are losing inventory space and would never want to use a trunk.

the space you get with the expanded trunk is less that the spaces you get with the two chests you use to create the trunk.

STANDARD:
Chest 16
Trunk 36
Which is 4 more spaces than the 32 you get with 2 chests.

Now with the Mod:

Chest 28
Trunk 45

While 45 is still more than 36 unmodded... it is 11 short of the 56 you would get from two chests. Why would anyone want a trunk? You are giving up storage space.

Don't double 36 to 72, agreed. but it should at the least be 56 (equal to two chests) and not 45.

Aarkan BlueFuryDragon 1.21 update is here! Sorry for the wait!

DigitalHare I didn't add Valkyrja's Vessels in V0.0.6 but may add it in the future.

DigitalHare, Sep 30th 2025 at 2:12 AM (modified Sep 30th 2025 at 2:14 AM)

Hey, along with the edit that BloodyScreeching posted to make this work, an edit to make this work with Valkyrja's Vessels follows:

Open the zip, either extract or edit inside the zip (7Zip lets you just edit, save and close and it'll update the zip for you) - \assets\increasedstoragecapacity\patches\storagevessel.json

 

  {
    "op": "replace",
    "path": "/attributes/quantitySlots/normal",
    "value": 28,
    "file": "game:blocktypes/clay/storagevessel-fancy.json",
    "side": "Server",
	"dependsOn": [{ "modid": "valkyrjavesssels" }]
  }

 

If you're scared to edit code yourself.. This has both BloodyScreeching's edit mine here. Either copy the text and paste it in or download and replace. I was going to try typing a short howto on what you have to do.. But ah, it was too long for a comment, lol.

Lucksmith, Sep 21st 2025 at 6:47 PM

breeze108 No idea, I'm really not a modder... I think you'd be better off with one of the many backpack slot increasing mods on here. I recommend Larger Vanilla Bags by Zooshini.

breeze108, Sep 21st 2025 at 6:09 PM

Lucksmith  will something similar to that work with backpacks?

 

BlueFuryDragon, Sep 21st 2025 at 3:42 AM
BloodyScreeching, Sep 18th 2025 at 8:23 PM

For 1.21
[A friend asked me about this, so I'm posting it here for anyone else who needs it.]

In order to increase the storage capacity of Decorated Storage Vessels, the ones located in ruins, the following needs to be added to storagevessel.json:

 {
    "op": "replace",
    "path": "/attributes/quantitySlots/normal",
    "value": 24,
    "file": "game:blocktypes/clay/storagevessel-fancy.json",
    "side": "Server"
  },

As pointed out by LuckSmith below, the file structure has changed and "game:blocktypes/clay/storagevessel.json" must be changed to "game:blocktypes/clay/fired/storagevessel.json". This DOES NOT apply to the special Decorated Storage Vessels. Only make this change to the normal clay storage vessels. 
frendito_burrito, Sep 17th 2025 at 2:46 AM

BlueFuryDragon It's not hard to edit that - from your mods folder, open the sortable storage .zip and go to \assets\sortablestorage\blocktypes to find the container you want to edit. Chests are in the wood folder, storage vessels are in the clay folder. Open the json file in a text editor and look for "quantitySlots", then change the number after it (there will be some text in between) to whatever you want. Start or restart your game, and you should be good.

BlueFuryDragon, Sep 14th 2025 at 5:00 AM

I wish this worked with sortable storage but if you make the container sortable it reverts back to vanilla slots. Also, I have a storage vessel copper that doesn't have the upgraded slots, however I found it in a crypt, which I think is part of Better Ruins mod.

Aarkan, Sep 4th 2025 at 9:37 PM

Lucksmith That worked. Thanks for the fix.

BlueFuryDragon, Sep 2nd 2025 at 11:26 PM

Does this work in 1.21?

Lucksmith, Aug 30th 2025 at 11:49 AM

Aarkan That's because the file structure of the game changed, I believe. Just go into the .json file for clay vessels and change "game:blocktypes/clay/storagevessel.json" to "game:blocktypes/clay/fired/storagevessel.json"

Aarkan, Aug 28th 2025 at 7:47 PM

This doesn't seem to be working for clay storage vessels in 1.21 for me. Chests and reed chests seem to be working though.

NomadicPirate , Aug 25th 2025 at 1:11 AM

phoenixfire9731 Nightwolf V0.0.5 adds Clayworks and Vanilla Variants compatibility.

NomadicPirate , Jun 16th 2025 at 3:44 PM

Nightwolf Just took a peek and only the papyrus chest doesn't get increased. However, the other chests and trunks work with this mod. When I get some time, I'll add a patch for the papyrus chest.

Nightwolf, Jun 15th 2025 at 12:17 PM

How does this work/interact with Vanilla Variants and the variant wood type wooden chests/trunks?

NomadicPirate , Apr 25th 2025 at 6:27 PM

phoenixfire9731 Not currently. Though I will add patches when I get time.

phoenixfire9731, Apr 25th 2025 at 12:34 PM

Does this work with the clayworks mod?

wildbug, Apr 13th 2025 at 10:39 PM

NomadicPirate looking forward to it!!!

NomadicPirate , Apr 13th 2025 at 9:14 PM

wildbug I can certainly do that! It will have to be separated from this mod entirely though since I want to keep this one true to vanilla spoilage rates.
Edit: No idea on when it will be released. It might just be a patch and not a complete re-release too.

wildbug, Apr 13th 2025 at 9:03 PM

BRICKLAYERS COMPAT LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (ps. could you re-release a version of the mod with the modified spoilage values? some of us strongly depend on them and really miss them!!)

NomadicPirate , Apr 13th 2025 at 8:56 PM

Lucian_Fallen Bricklayers compatibility patches added in V0.0.4

Lucian_Fallen, Apr 13th 2025 at 4:21 PM

Can you make your mod comaptible with bricklayer's clay storage vessels? I can't find the file...

NomadicPirate , Feb 20th 2025 at 3:03 AM

Hero146 Yes!

Hero146, Feb 20th 2025 at 1:23 AM

Does this work with carry on?

NomadicPirate , Feb 19th 2025 at 3:44 AM

rboys2 It does not. Spear and Fang has his hands full and I don't wanna bug him.

rboys2, Feb 18th 2025 at 4:47 PM

Does this mod work with Sortable Storage?
I know technically that mod makes it their own seperate "Wooden trunk (Sortable)" item, wasn't sure if that'd make these work together or not.

Kshoh, Feb 17th 2025 at 12:10 PM

Oh right! My bad. I have no idea where I got this idea that you were going for double the slots.

Nah I more than good with a 45 slots trunk x)

NomadicPirate , Feb 16th 2025 at 9:45 PM

Kshoh I wasn't really going for "double inventory" per se. Just added 1 row to the trunk instead of 2 since it seemed way overkill. Trunks are already massive lol 

If you want to change it to 72 slots, you can do that. Just unpack the mod, inside the patches folder theres one for trunks. Open it and change the value to 72. Save and repack the mod. Viola 72 slot trunk.

Thanks for the input! 😃

Kshoh, Feb 16th 2025 at 1:44 PM

I'm loving your mod. I always have problems with storage in early game. Your mod helps a lot with not needing to have a wall of reed chest haha

Only thing that was disturbing me was the spoilage rate in clay vessels. I have food in there that is good for 48 years haha. And I isn't even in a cellar. But I saw there was an update for it.

Last thing if we follow the logic of doubling inventories. Shouldn't the trunk have 72 slots?

NomadicPirate , Feb 16th 2025 at 3:55 AM

ElrondHubbardCln There's 3 versions out now so the players can choose which one they want. Should have released in a different order. Hindsight is always 20/20 😂

ElrondHubbardCln, Feb 16th 2025 at 3:35 AM

I mean some people might want that feature :)

NomadicPirate , Feb 15th 2025 at 8:02 PM

ElrondHubbardCln Just released V0.0.3, which doesn't modify spoilage rates. 😁

ElrondHubbardCln, Feb 15th 2025 at 6:48 PM

I love this mod and wouldn't play without it.  I do wish that the clay vessel did not modify the spoilage rate.  Can there be an option to adjust this?  Inventory management drives me insane which is why I love this mod - I don't want to make the game more forgiving.

Thanks!

jamescook, Feb 5th 2025 at 10:40 PM

you are awsome!

NomadicPirate , Feb 5th 2025 at 9:57 PM

jamescook Ask and you shall receive. 🤠

jamescook, Feb 5th 2025 at 9:10 PM

like i said i'm a horder of items so i need alot of space in my bags,as in 100-500 spaces. my go to untill 1.120 killed it off was what hammer space whitch made every bag have 2500 slots of space. having to gather clutter to break down,more mob drops,and battle towers to loot does not help. :P

NomadicPirate , Feb 5th 2025 at 11:34 AM

jamescook I made a mod for backpack sizes, be sure to check it out.

jamescook, Feb 5th 2025 at 10:07 AM

back pack size

NomadicPirate , Feb 4th 2025 at 10:41 PM

jamescook What exactly do you mean? Are you talking about backpack size or the hotbar at the bottom of the screen?

jamescook, Feb 4th 2025 at 10:32 PM

i need something like this but for the player's storage invtory as i'm a horder of items and i got other mods that make the clutter items able to be broken down.

NomadicPirate , Feb 4th 2025 at 6:09 PM

AngryOscar I just tested with ExtraChests_v1.9.0 and it seems to work as far as I can tell. Chests added in Dauron's mod retain their capacity whilst vanilla reed chests, clay storage vessels, chests and wooden trunks stay at the values I set in this mod.

AngryOscar, Feb 4th 2025 at 5:08 PM

does this work with extra chests?
