Ender Storage Wiki

Ender Storage adds a small family of storage blocks and items whose contents are linked by a colour-coded frequency instead of by physical location. Every Ender Chest, Ender Tank, and Ender Pouch carries three coloured "tumblers" (like a combination lock). Any two of them set to the same three colours share the exact same inventory - no matter how far apart they are, even across different dimensions.

The mod adds three core pieces of content:

• Ender Chest - shared item storage.
• Ender Tank - shared fluid storage.
• Ender Pouch - a portable item that opens your chest frequency from anywhere.

Change the three-colour combination and you instantly switch to a completely separate storage space, so a single block type gives you a virtually unlimited number of independent shared inventories.

Ender Storage requires the Code Chicken Lib library to be installed. See the Code Chicken Lib wiki.

1. Install the library. Ender Storage will not load without Code Chicken Lib. Drop both jars into .minecraft/mods along with your mod loader.
2. Craft an Ender Chest (see Crafting below).
3. Place it and look at the three coloured pads on top of the block.
4. Click each pad with a dye to set its colour. The three colours together are this chest's frequency.
5. Place a second chest anywhere - even in another dimension - and set it to the same three colours. Both chests now open the same inventory.

That is the entire core concept: matching colours = shared storage.

A frequency is the combination of the three colour tumblers on a block or pouch. There are sixteen dye colours and three slots, which gives thousands of possible independent frequencies.

• Two blocks with identical three-colour frequencies share one inventory.
• Two blocks with different frequencies are completely separate, even if placed side by side.
• Change a block's colours at any time to "tune" it to a different storage space - your items are not lost, they simply stay attached to whichever frequency they were stored under.
• The same frequency is shared by the chest type and the pouch type independently (chest frequencies and tank frequencies are their own pools).

Think of it like radios tuned to a station: anything on the same station hears the same thing.

The Ender Chest is the flagship block - a frequency-linked item inventory. Set its three colours, store your items, and access the identical contents from any other Ender Chest (or Ender Pouch) on the same frequency, anywhere in the world. Ideal for instant base-to-mine transfer and shared team storage.

The Ender Tank is the fluid equivalent of the Ender Chest. It holds a large buffer of any one fluid and shares that fluid across all tanks on the same frequency. Use it to pipe water, lava, or modded fluids between distant locations, refuel machines remotely, or fill/empty over long distances without building pipe networks.

The Ender Pouch is a portable item that opens an Ender Chest frequency from anywhere in your inventory - no block required. Set the pouch to the same colours as a base chest and you can dump loot into your home storage while deep in a cave or far out exploring. It is the single most convenient way to use the mod on the go.

By default a frequency is global: everyone on a server who tunes to those three colours opens the same shared inventory. This is great for cooperative teams but means anyone can read or take from a known frequency.

To keep a frequency private, right-click the diamond latch/button on the block (or in the pouch interface) to flip it to personal mode. A personal frequency is bound to your player profile - only you can access that colour combination's storage, even if someone else tunes a block to the same three colours.

• Global (default): shared by everyone on the same frequency. Best for team bases.
• Personal: bound to you. Best for private valuables on multiplayer servers.

You can switch a frequency between global and personal at any time.

All Ender Storage blocks and items are craftable from ordinary materials combined with an Ender Pearl (the inter-dimensional ingredient) and a diamond for the personal-mode latch.

• Ender Chest - built around an Ender Pearl with a chest-like frame; the three colour pads default to a starting combination you then re-tune with dye.
• Ender Tank - a tank frame combined with an Ender Pearl for the frequency link.
• Ender Pouch - a cloth/leather pouch bound to an Ender Pearl so it can reach a chest frequency remotely.

After crafting, set the colours with dye and (optionally) right-click with a diamond to make the frequency personal. Exact recipes are shown in any in-game recipe viewer.

• Base-to-mine pipeline: keep one chest at home and carry an Ender Pouch on the same frequency - dump ores the moment your inventory fills.
• Cross-dimension links: the same frequency works in the Overworld, Nether, and End, so a Nether-side chest can feed an Overworld base instantly.
• Sorting by colour: use different frequencies for different item categories (e.g. one colour set for ores, another for building blocks).
• Team servers: put shared supplies on a global frequency and your personal valuables on a personal frequency.
• Remote refuelling: an Ender Tank on a known frequency lets you top up lava/fuel anywhere without hauling buckets.

The mod will not load / the game crashes on startup. You are almost certainly missing Code Chicken Lib, or the library build does not match your game version. Install the matching Code Chicken Lib jar.

Two chests are not sharing items. Their three colours must match exactly and in the same arrangement. Double-check each of the three pads.

Someone else opened my storage. Global frequencies are shared by everyone. Right-click the diamond latch to switch that frequency to personal so only you can access it.

Where did my items go after I changed the colours? Nowhere - they stay attached to the old frequency. Re-tune the block back to those colours and they reappear.

Can the Ender Pouch hold fluids? No - the pouch links to chest (item) frequencies. Use the Ender Tank for fluids.

Does it work across the Nether and End? Yes - frequencies are inter-dimensional; that is the whole point of the mod.
