Metal Barrels Mod adds additional barrels to the game that can store more items. They function like their vanilla counterparts in that they can be opened with a solid block on top and don’t cause any FPS issues in large numbers, unlike chests.
Features:
- Copper stores 45 stacks
- Iron stores 54 stacks
- Silver stores 72 stacks
- Gold stores 81 stacks
- Diamond stores 108 stacks
- Obsidian stores 108 stacks but has a blast resistance of 30 thousand making it resistant to most explosions
- Crystal stores 108 stacks but the top 8 items can be seen inside (Note: unlike the other barrels, having a large number of these with items inside will impact fps negatively)
As of the newest version, there are now upgrade items that can be used to upgrade already placed barrels without breaking them, the contents will not be destroyed or dropped if used.
