This is another mod that adds chests to the game. But instead of adding just fancier and bigger chests this mod adds chests with unique features (and probably bugs, too). So when you encounter some bugs please report them. It's an early version.
Chests
Filter Chest: The Filter Chest is a simple chest with only a few slots. It always tries to keep at least one item in each slot. So the chest can be used to let only specific items pass through it.
Personal Chest: The Personal Chest contains a unique inventory for each player that can be accessed from each Personal Chest across the map.
Coffin: If you have one Coffin in your inventory while you die it will be placed at your current location and all your items will be transferred into it. It is useless when placed by a player and drops nothing when being destroyed. I know there is the player corpse mod that does a similar thing and does it probably better. But I found this idea funny and you can use it to add an item sink to this feature.
Shared Chest: The Shared Chest is a chest that can share its inventory with other Shared Chests. To link two or more Shared Chests they have to use the same tags in its label. You can add these tags by simply adding an id in square brackets ("[id]") to the text of the label. The id can be an integer between 0 and 99 (configurable).
Sorting Chest: The Sorting Chest has filter and buffer slots. The sides of the chest are colored and are associated to a slot with the same color. You can put filter items into the colored filter slots to define which items can be put into the corresponding buffer slots. If you put no items in a column all items with no filter will be accepted by this buffer slot. Every few seconds the chest tries to push items from the buffer slots into neighboring inventories.
Void Chest: The Void Chest voids items that you put into it. It has by default 4 slots. So it can store up to 3 items before its starts to remove items from the game. This chest is disabled by default.
Infinity Chest: The Infinity Chest stretches time infinitely so that it flows backwards inside of it. So items you put in it will travel back in time. It's probably op and therefore disabled by default.
Configuration
The mod adds a configuration file that allows you to disable the recipe for certain chests so you can only use the chests you like. Additionally you can change the number of shared inventories for shared chests that can be created and the number of slots for shared and personal chests. You can also add inventories that are affected by the coffin here.

BriarBlack It may be possible to make a larger chest that only takes wearable items. Making a chest that has a slot for every wearable item may be a little bit to much. Especially since the number of these items could change.
It uhhh.. Yeah would probably have a lot of slots. But in my head each slot would only accept a specific item so it could work more like a bookshelf maybe? Yeah you know now I think about it, it would probably pretty complicated lmao
BriarBlack This is an interesting idea but I don't make new models for blocks. So this part is out of my scope. And wouldn't it result in a chest with 100 or so slots?
May I make a suggestion for a Clothing Chest? A Chest that has one inventory slot for each specific piece of clothing? And can it look like a wardrobe? so that I have a place to store my bling collection?

Hello o/ Where are the information stored what's in the personal chest. I have the mod on the server and need to inspect someone's chest (because of stealing).
Xandu
its all good, im still using your mod for the chests, but with default settings is all fine, we have other mods on the server that interact with it so further expand the capabilities of the chests, just was reporting that little issue i had found is all
all i have to say is keep up the good work on this mod, the personal chest is definitly awesome to begin with anyways
SoulReaperz and DejFidOFF that is the reason why I asked if you are playing on a server. The mod does not synchronize the settings at the moment and you have to make sure that you have the same config file on the server and client side.
Xandu
Mod did not respect the seversettings at advancedchests.json - when you connect to the server it made local file in ModConfig. So players can set their own size :/
If there is a difference (slot settings) from server and local file it crashes the client
I also playing at the server with some modds. There is BetterCrates_v1.7.1., ExtraChests_v1.8.0., CarryOn 1.7.4. and so on. But those are the mods doing something with chests :D
Xandu
ive been playing on my server with the mod
Xandu
It happens even in 0.2.2 at old ones.
DejFidOFF and SoulReaperz Unfortunately I cannot reproduce any of these issues. Does this also happen with newly placed chest or just with old ones? Are you playing on a server or singleplayer?
Xandu
crashed just now on version 0.2.3 personal chest
had changed it to size of 8 instead of 16 because size 32 didnt work and the size 8 gave a weird chest layout and when i placed an item in the chest it crashed me, didnt get a report
@xandu
sometimes game crash after opening shared chest. ver 0.2.3

Noobenwell Hey you can increase the "maxSharedInventoryCount" value in the configuration file to do this.
SoulReaperz The shared chests are meant to be used for cooperative gameplay. If you want to have a chest that can only be accessed by you you should use a Personal Chest.
Xandu
the labeling of the shared chests for the purpose of multiplayer needs to be able to have anything typed into for the chest id and not just 0-99, with it just at 0-99 anyone can just figure out or make 100 chests and put each different number in it and check them daily for loot from anyone
the id should be able to have [thisismychest99>] or [storagechest$6999] or [gsadijugha584685ggw?$$er548] as ids instead of only 0-99 so that it will make it virtually nearly impossible to get a chest id of someone using the chest how it was made to be used in multiplayer
doesnt need to be super long but i would recommend something like 12 characters/number/symbols long min just to add millions of combinations
the chest id needs to be able to be hidden instead of displayed on the chest aswell
Xandu please increase the integer to something with more possibilities such as say 9999 or 999999 this would improve the use case as right now someone only has to try 100 times to get into your chest.
DejFidOFF Thank you for your report. It should be fixed now.
Xandu
Hello when settings is
"sharedChestSize": 16,
"personalChestSize": 4,
Personal chest is correct, but Shared chest ( block info overlay says 16 ) placed down it have only 4 slots like personal.
Hi DejFidOFF .
No this is not possible. It is the same size for every player.
Hello o/ Xandu
Is it possible to configure "personalChestSize" to different role at the server?
@AngryOscar It makes things last longer.
Confused, what exactly does infinity chest do?
Nope:
Does this work with 1.19?
Craluminum Thank you. Good to know. The focus of the update was to just get it running.
Hey,
I updated this mod to version 0.2.0 and added two new chests! Both chests are disabled by default. So you have to activate them to be able to use them.
