Description
This mod adds simple item storages showing the item's inventory image in the front. By left- or right-clicking the image you can take or add stacks. If you also hold the shift-key only a single item will be removed/added.
There's also a 'Drawer Controller' which can insert items automatically into a network of drawers. Just place the drawers next to each other, so they are connected and the drawer controller will sort the items automatically. If you want to connect drawers, but you don't want to place another drawer, just use the 'Drawer Trim'.
Do you have too many cobblestones for one drawer? No problem, just add some drawer upgrades to your drawer! They are available in different sizes and are crafted by steel, gold, obsidian, diamonds or mithril.

A handy way to sort your items at a glance with many drawer alternatives to match your builds :)
Every survival server should have it!
The drawer mod provides a storage that is easy to manage and be programmed (via Luacontrollers), and can be upgraded to enlarge its space. In surivial, it can be a nice storage; in crerative, it can be the best decoration.
Rather neat!
This is great for single item storage, since each drawer can hold only a single item, this is more efficient than Chest2 in that regard.
Want to store tons of a particular material? Shove it into a drawer.
Want to store tons of a particular fuel? Shove in into a drawer.
Want to store tons of a particular common block? Shove it into a drawer.
The list can go on. Though Chest2's capacity far exceeds what Drawers can ever hold, it is still critical to have options.
nice, but could use some new textures
pretty nice and really useful mod, though in voxelibre and mineclonia the 'spruce' and 'dark oak' drawers look nothing like thier respective wood
Drawerssssss!
Good storage mod. Useful if you get a lot of a single item, for example stone. There's a small issue: the textures are directly stolen from the Storage Drawers Minecraft mod, which has the same concept.
La mia recenzione
Mod fantastica con molte possibilita di storage senza occupare molto spazio,è molto bello da vedere.
Ottimo lavoro
meinung
perfekt ist cool ich muss nicht mehr sortieren :)))
Best Storage Mod
To be honest, i've been looking for a mod like this for a very long time, till i found it a few months ago. This makes storing stuff hundreds of times more simple, I can finally store huge amounts of items without wasting too much space, Technic chests are good, but they are just too inconvinient for storing huge amounts of items, would be nice if some more mod support was added, to increase storage space, anyways, my favourite storage mod.
Sorting
I recently completed a compression factory, and switched over to using drawers for storage. Could you add compatability with the Hoppers mod?
Edit: I realised that it can use pipeworks. Very helpful mod!
Good Storage
Great mod to storage large amounts of items. needed if you have mods which will provide you too many of the same item like digtron which will eventually give you tons and tons of cobble and it is hard to storage same for most next generation tools mods.
Useful and easy to use, great work.
Just spiffy
This removes the most tedious part of any open-world crafting game, which is inventory management.
Bueno y util
Util para guardar cosas estakeables, pero estaria mucho mejor para MineClonia
Good way to organise items
This is a really nice way to organise items.
I made an automated system to sort and store my items: https://twitter.com/rubenwardy/status/1220491429576945667
I just wish this mod supported tools (albeit at a lower count)
Because Gamers love being tidier in their virtual worlds over their own rooms they dwell in!
I love this mod simply because of the visuals alone, the shelves kind of jut out a little and they come in all vanilla wood types, once you insert and item, it will show the icon allowing you to identify where you actually put your mese blocks, pretty useful especially compared to signs which are not visual and can be quite blande, essential when working with tech to spice things up in an otherwise grey and bleak environment
Good for tidier storage
Putting nodes and items in drawers, which will become designated by the item you put inside of it, looks way better than just cramming things in chest. Generally just makes things tidy. :)
Just trying to figure things out.
Liked the look of the mod, The items are documented by picture how to make, which is helpful. It looked good, but was not functional as I could not use them as storage. Being a MC player it reminded me a little of the fancy sign mod.
I hope the author keeps working on it, it is Good.
Unable to craft in-game.
Went through the images on how to craft and nothing happened. They didn't craft and they also don't show up in the creative inventory either. Useless if there is no way to get them.
