Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

⬇ Download for 1.20.1⬇ Download for 1.19.3⬇ Download for 1.19.2⬇ Download for 1.18.2⬇ Download for 1.16.5
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Your items, always waiting for you — no matter what world you're on.

Legacy Vault gives every player a personal inventory that lives outside the world. Place a vault block, open it, and anything you store stays yours. Switch to a new world or start over — your vault is still there. Vault data is stored on the server, so your items are available across any world on that server.


Vault Types

Rustic Vault

A personal vault. Only you can open it. Craft it with a Chest at the center of the recipe.

Classic Vault

Also a personal vault, with a different look. Craft it with a Barrel at the center.

Community Vault

A shared vault that any player (or any player on an allowlist) can access. Great for server shops, donation chests, or faction storage. The full expansion and search features are available here too.


Vault Expansion

New players start with 1 row of 9 slots. Use Vault Upgrade items to unlock more rows, up to 10 rows (90 slots).

Server admins can change the starting size, the maximum size, and whether tier progress resets per-world.


Vault GUI Features


Admin and Server Features

All commands require permission level 2 and live under /legacyvault:

Command What it does
inspect <player> View a player's vault contents and slot usage
reload <player> Reload a player's vault from disk
clear <player> Wipe all items from a player's vault (asks for confirmation)
transfer <from> <to> Move everything from one player's vault to another
locations <player> List the coordinates of all of a player's placed vaults
locations clear <player> Clear a player's vault location list

tier reset <targets> Reset a player to the starting tier
tier max <targets> Set a player to the maximum tier
encryption status Show whether vault encryption is on or off
encryption on|off Toggle encryption without restarting the server

Item Whitelist and Blacklist

Control what can go in vaults using datapack item tags:

The tag lists are checked first. Config-based regex patterns still work as a fallback.

Blocked by default (to prevent cheating the slot limit):

Vault Encryption (Optional)

Turn on encryptVaultData in the server config (or use /legacyvault encryption on) and vault files on disk are scrambled so no one can read them without the server's key. Protects against file theft and UUID spoofing. Safe to toggle at any time — existing files keep working either way.

Important: Back up config/legacyvault/legacyvault-secret.dat. If you lose this file, encrypted vaults cannot be read.

Crash-Safe Saves

Vault files are written to a temp file first, then swapped in — so a crash or power cut during a save can't corrupt your data.


Configuration Highlights

All settings live in serverconfig/legacyvault-server.toml.

Setting Default What it does
startingVaultTier 1 How many rows players start with
maxVaultTier 10 Maximum rows a player can unlock
enablePersonalVault true Allow personal (Rustic/Classic) vaults
enableCommunityVault true Allow Community vaults
resetTierPerWorld false Reset tier on each new world (items still carry over)

vaultUpgradeLootEnabled true Vault Upgrades can drop from chests
vaultUpgradeLootChance 0.02 Drop chance per eligible chest (2%)
vaultUpgradeLootCount 1 Upgrades per drop

Requirements


Mod Compatibility

Legacy Vault is designed to coexist with popular mods. The following storage mods are blocked from being placed inside a vault by default (they would otherwise bypass the slot limit):

Server admins can customize this list using item tags or regex patterns in the config.
