Recommended download (for Vintage Story 1.22.0 - 1.22.7):
storagelectern_v1.3.0.zip 1-click install
A tiered storage management block for Vintage Story 1.22. Place a lectern near your containers
and use the Tome of Linking to register them — the lectern then gives you a single interface
to browse, search, and retrieve items from all linked containers at once.
Tome of Linking
- Sneak + left-click any container (costs 1 charcoal) to record it
- Sneak + right-click a lectern to transfer all recorded links
- Sneak + right-click air to erase all records
Lectern tiers
| Tier | Max links | Recipe | Range |
| 1 | 7 | Wood + Charcoal | 16 |
| 2 | 25 | Stone + Tome | 24 |
| 3 | 40 | Metal + Tome | 32 |
GUI features
- Aggregated view — browse every item across all linked containers in one grid
- Per-container view — switch to a single container via the dropdown
- Search — filter items by name in real time
- Sort — by name or quantity
- Deposit tray — drop items directly into the best-fit linked container
- Scan — discover and link nearby containers without leaving the GUI
- Unlink — remove a specific container from the lectern
- Custom labels — rename individual containers for easier identification
- Lectern name — give the lectern itself a name visible in the world
Compatible with vanilla chests, crates, and storage vessels. Works in multiplayer (universal
mod, required on both client and server).

can we get a crafting grid that pulls items from inside the storage system?
hi! i will check this possibility
yay, good luck
good news, last update maked a craft grid, pls tell me if was what u thinking :)
It doesn't pull items from the storage to craft more, and unfortunately it also doesn't work with mods like this
Any chance you could make the mod compatible with Upgradeable Storage?
Might already be, about to test it, but if not, it would be awesome.
It is in fact compatible with Upgradeable Storage by default. Awesome work putting this together.
Ty!
Quick question:
How is the range defined? A 16/24/36 block diameter ball shape around the lectern? Or is it radius? I have some chests that can't be found when I scan for them. Do I have to manually link them? The chests are 4 blocks down and 6 blocks away from the lectern. But I think there are maybe too many containers around the lectern for all of them to show up :)
It's a radius, not a diameter a sphere around the lectern measured in straight-line distance: 16 / 24 / 32 blocks for tier 1 / 2 / 3. Your chests (~7 blocks away) are well within range.
You guessed right about the cause: the Scan window currently only shows the 12 closest unlinked containers, so with lots of containers nearby the farther ones get cut off. Two workarounds for now: link the nearby ones first and scan again (linked containers drop off the list), or link them manually with the Tome of Linking (sneak + left-click the chest, then sneak + right-click the lectern). I'll make the scan list scrollable in the next update so all of them show up. Thanks for the report!
very cool ! the natural evolution of the mod packrat, also am I mistaken or is it prioritizing the vessel for perishable items ?
i'm glad that u liked! yea for food like itens it will try to find best storage for more duration
Hi tefuba, very nice mod. One big issue, when you packed the zip file you have used backslashes in the file paths instead of forward slashes. Linux machines read the backslash as part of the file name while Windows automatically corrects it. Hence, this doesn't work on a linux based server as is. I am using it on my Windows machine solo game though.
Hi! ty for report i dont have test in linux btw so i will try to fix this probably today will release update
Running into an issue with the mod not showing up in the help book or being available in the creative menu. I also cant craft the storage lectern. I checked logs and it shows loaded with no errors.
Edit: Found out it wont work with the Divine Ascention mod active as possibly they both make lecturns.
Ty for report, i will search if i can make this compatibility
GaelCrash, i tried to fix this compatib. pls check and let me know
Amazing mod, i wanted to aks tho, is it possible to have the Naming field not beeing opend / beeing interacted with right away? half the time im pressing E to open my inventory it just adds E to the name instead
Hi there, very likely that will add this to next version, ty for idea!
Hey! Noticed that linking doesnt work with QP chisel chests (Compact trunk) -
Hello, searched about this just found chisel tools, can u describe better wich mod wanna use?
QP Chisel Adds Chests that can take on the appearance of a chiseled block, these seem to not work
Wow, this definitely is a good mod to have! can't wait to try it out
😉pls let me know how are u experience
I really hope you will figure out way to link crates to, because I LOVE idea of this mod... I know there is an issue with shift+click on crates that deposit book inside instead of recording it,,, but maybe within lecter ad UI element to "scan for nerby crates" display crates "Crate containing X" and clicking it would add to lectern using it link limit?
I'm really happy that u loved the idea😁 in 1.1.0 i've changed the hot key to left click so this problem with crates are fixed, and the scan feature would be working in this version too, ty for suggestion! new version will be released soon stay tuned
Hi, nice mod. I have some questions and or suggestions, maybe these can be adressed ina future update:
1. While it does use Better crates, normal crates cant be linked because the sneak right click just deposits the book inside a normal crate -> so normal crates cant be used if I understand correctly ?
2. While a better crate can be linked, the lectern does not look if there is a crate that already holds the item that is going in the deposit slot and does not funnel it to the crate to stack it correctly to safe space.
3. would it be possible to rename the Lecterns so we can organise storage even more? Like giving a Lectern a name it would pop up like this: " Metal Storage Lectern (Tier 2) "
4. What is the range on the Lecterns? Does higher Tier have larger Range as well?
5. How do you unlink a container?
thanks for your time.
Hi there! apreciate the questions lets go (assume all responses as for 1.1.0):
1 - fixed in 1.1.0 now its left click to link a storage
2 - I've tried to solve this in this version pls test if still not finding correct spot
3 - Yes and i make possible rename storages too for better know of what is linked
4 - 16, 24, 32 blocks by each tier
5 - 1.1.0 you can manage this by lectern
it will be released soon so i hope that all questions are solved ;)
Amazing, now we need the ability to rename chests and vessels !
ty for feedback! i will work on this feature fox next version
DEAR GOD YES!! WE HAVE IT FINALLY!!! If i could i would kiss you
