Timber Chests
Timber Chests is a vanilla-style Minecraft mod that expands wooden storage by giving every wood family its own matching chest variants.
Instead of using the same oak chest everywhere, you can craft chests that visually match the wood used in your builds. The mod also updates chest boats, the Bamboo Chest Raft, and chest minecarts so that their storage matches the surrounding wood style.
The goal is simple: add more visual variety while keeping the familiar behavior, balance, and simplicity of vanilla Minecraft.
Wooden Chests
Timber Chests adds regular and trapped chest variants for all eleven non-oak wood families:
- Spruce
- Birch
- Jungle
- Acacia
- Dark Oak
- Mangrove
- Cherry
- Pale Oak
- Bamboo
- Crimson
- Warped
Every chest supports both single and double-chest forms with matching textures.
They retain the expected vanilla chest behavior, including:
- Standard storage capacity
- Opening and closing animations
- Vanilla sounds
- Double-chest connections
- Hopper and automation support
- Chest obstruction rules
- Inventory persistence
- Comparator output
- Redstone functionality for trapped chests
Wood-Aware Crafting
Chest crafting now recognizes the type of planks used in the recipe.
Using eight matching planks creates the corresponding wooden chest. For example, spruce planks create a Spruce Chest, while cherry planks create a Cherry Chest.
Oak planks continue to create the vanilla Chest.
Recipes containing mixed wood types or unsupported planks also produce the vanilla Chest, keeping the system predictable and compatible with normal gameplay.
Each custom regular chest can be combined with a Tripwire Hook to create its matching trapped variant.
Matching Chest Boats and Rafts
All existing non-oak chest boats now display a chest matching their boat’s wood family.
The Bamboo Chest Raft also uses a matching Bamboo Chest.
Their recipes require the correct regular chest variant, so a Spruce Chest Boat uses a Spruce Boat and a Spruce Chest, while a Cherry Chest Boat requires a Cherry Chest.
Apart from their updated appearance and recipes, they behave like normal vanilla chest boats and rafts.
Wooden Chest Minecarts
Timber Chests adds eleven matching chest minecart variants.
Each one uses the corresponding regular wooden chest in its crafting recipe and keeps its selected wood variant after being placed, moved, saved, or reloaded.
Wooden chest minecarts support:
- Vanilla minecart movement and collisions
- Standard inventory behavior
- Hopper interaction
- Rail and detector rail behavior
- Dispenser placement
- Correct item drops
- Persistent wood variants
Compatibility
Timber Chests includes compatibility tags for wooden chests, trapped wooden chests, and regular-only wooden chests.
This allows recipes, datapacks, and other mods to recognize the new chest variants without treating trapped chests as valid where only regular chests should be accepted.
Vanilla by Design
Timber Chests does not introduce new progression systems, machines, interfaces, or complicated mechanics.
It simply extends Minecraft’s existing wood-family system to chests and chest-based vehicles, making storage fit naturally into more builds while preserving the vanilla gameplay experience.
