A lightweight storage addon for the Create Mod featuring Storage Boxes and Backpacks
Storage that feels like part of Create
Tiered Storage Boxes, bulk storage networks, upgradeable backpacks, and smart item Passers
Create: Storage adds storage blocks and backpacks built to work alongside Create's machines, with Create's look, filters, wrenches, goggles and Ponder scenes. Feed a production line, bank a farm's entire output, or carry a workshop on your back.

Storage Boxes and Simple Storage Boxes are containers designed for compact, filterable item storage. Each Storage Box variant offers different storage capacities and visual styles, whereas the Simple Storage Boxes offer large single item storage with high capacity upgrades available. Designed to integrate seamlessly into mechanical and logistical systems within the Create Mod, they provide a clean and functional way to manage large amounts of items.
Note: Maximum base capacity is 32x max stack size of item.
Examples: Oak Logs = 2048, Ender Pearls = 512, Water Bucket = 32
The Reserve Barrel is a storage block that always keeps a minimum stock of selected items. Automation can only take the surplus above that minimum, which makes it ideal for self-sustaining farms: a tree farm can keep the saplings it needs for replanting while all the extra logs and saplings flow on to the rest of your storage.
Links multiple Simple Storage Boxes together into a single network, allowing players and automation to access and manage all stored items from a central (or multiple) point. Simple storage networks are formed by connecting Simple Storage Boxes to a Storage Controller using Storage Trim blocks, which act as conduits. Once connected, the Storage Controller aggregates all items from the attached boxes, enabling insertion and extraction through a single interface.
Additional components, like the Storage Interface, can be used to interact with the network through automation (hoppers, chutes, funnels, etc.)
Backpacks are wearable storage items that come in several material variants—each offering different storage capacities and upgrade slots. Designed to integrate seamlessly with automation systems, backpacks feature multiple compartments, including a main inventory for bulk items, a tool compartment for valuable gear, and dedicated upgrade slots. With modular upgrades like magnetism, item refill, feeding, tool swapping, and even flight, backpacks offer utility far beyond basic item storage, making them versatile companions for adventuring, building, or automation-focused gameplay.
Upgrades add new abilities to a backpack. They are crafted from an Upgrade Template and installed in the backpack's six upgrade slots, so any six can be combined at once.
fxntstorage:disabled_backpack_upgrades item tag| Item | Name | Description |

 | Magnet Upgrade | Pulls items into the backpack's main storage compartment from up to 5 blocks away |
 | Item Pickup Upgrade | Transfers items directly into backpack's main storage instead of player inventory |

 | Refill Upgrade | Refills the player's main/off-hand item from the backpack if they are available |

 | Jetpack Upgrade | Turns any Backpack into a jetpack with hovering abilities (uses Create backtanks for fuel) |
 | Fall Damage Upgrade | Prevents the player from taking fall damage while wearing the backpack |
 | Ore Mining Upgrade | Mines entire clusters of matching ore blocks, dropping the loot near the player |
 | Torch Deployer Upgrade | Automatically places a torch from the backpack when the surrounding light level is low |

The Jetpack Upgrade panel in the backpack GUI has a modifier slot. Placing one of the items below in the slot changes how the jetpack flies, trading off height, speed and fuel. Only one modifier can be used at a time.
| Item | Name | Effect |
|---|---|---|
 | Propeller | Raises the height limit from 32 blocks to 64 blocks |
 | Encased Fan | Removes the height limit, but uses 10% more fuel for every 16 blocks above 64 |
 | Blaze Burner | Afterburner: flies 50% faster with fire exhaust and uses 75% more fuel, setting nearby mobs alight |
 | Netherite Backtank | Increases the capacity of all backtanks in the backpack by 50% |
 | Fluid Valve | Uses 30% less fuel, but flies 10% slower |
 | Firework Rocket | Elytra Boost: hold Jump while gliding with an Elytra to fly 50% faster, using 200% more fuel |
Servers can turn the modifier system off with the jetpackModifiersEnabled server config option.
Passer Blocks are utility blocks that are used to transfer items between adjacent containers. They operate in a similar way to hoppers, moving one item at a time, however they do not have any internal inventory. Smart Passer blocks expand on the Passer, by enabling items to be filtered and transferring up to 64 items at once.

| Tags | Datapack | Disable backpack upgrades, add modded ores to Ore Mining, blacklist items from Refill, extend storage networks |
| Jukebox Buffs | Datapack | Change the buffs each music disc gives, or add buffs to discs from other mods |

fxntstorage-server.toml in your pack's defaultconfigs/ folder.
