| Environment | Client, Server |
Refined Storage is a Minecraft Java mod for building a network-based storage system. Connect storage devices to the same network, then use a Grid to search and access their contents through one interface. The mod stores items and fluids, and adds devices for moving resources, manipulating blocks, and setting up autocrafting.
How the storage network works
A Refined Storage network links a Controller with storage devices and access points. Connected devices share their contents with the Grid, so the interface can search across several inventories instead of making you open each chest. Importers and exporters move items between the network and other inventories, while constructors and destructors manipulate blocks. Autocrafting devices let the network handle supported crafting jobs after the system is set up.
Installation and dependencies
Download the Refined Storage release that matches your Minecraft version and loader from Modrinth, then place its JAR in the Java Edition mods folder. Fabric releases require Fabric API. Forge and NeoForge release metadata does not list Fabric API as a required dependency. The Refined Storage wiki provides setup details, recipes, and configuration guidance.
Loader and version support
- Fabric reaches Minecraft 26.1.2 with Refined Storage 3.2.1, released 2026-06-07. Fabric API is required.
- NeoForge reaches Minecraft 26.1.2 with Refined Storage 3.2.1, released 2026-06-07. No required dependency is listed in that release metadata.
- Forge reaches Minecraft 1.20.1 with Refined Storage 1.12.4, released 2023-11-06. Do not treat Forge as a 26.x option.
- The project runs on both client and server sides. Use matching loader and version files across a multiplayer setup.
The trade-off is clear in the release list. Fabric and NeoForge carry the current 26.1.2 line, while Forge is limited to an older 1.20.1 release. If your modpack is still on Forge, choose that version deliberately and check every other mod before moving the world. A visual walkthrough near the end of this page shows networks, importers, exporters, and autocrafting in action.

Questions about Refined Storage.
5 questions
How do I install the Refined Storage mod?
Choose the Refined Storage file for your Minecraft version and loader on Modrinth. Put the JAR in the Java Edition mods folder. Fabric installations also need Fabric API, while the current Forge and NeoForge release metadata does not list Fabric API as required.
Does Refined Storage require Fabric API?
Fabric releases list Fabric API as a required dependency. The current NeoForge and Forge release metadata does not list Fabric API as required. Always open the dependency section for the exact file you choose because dependencies belong to individual loader builds.
What does Refined Storage do in Minecraft?
Refined Storage adds a network-based system for storing items and fluids and accessing them through a Grid interface. It also includes devices such as importers, exporters, constructors, destructors, and autocrafting components that move or manipulate resources within the network.
Does Refined Storage work on Forge and NeoForge?
Yes, the project has separate Forge and NeoForge builds. NeoForge reaches Minecraft 26.1.2 with Refined Storage 3.2.1, while Forge stops at Minecraft 1.20.1 with Refined Storage 1.12.4. Forge does not reach the same current version line as NeoForge.
Can Refined Storage run on a multiplayer server?
The Modrinth project metadata marks Refined Storage as required on both the client and server sides. For multiplayer, install matching Refined Storage loader and Minecraft version files where the pack requires them, then verify the rest of the modpack against that choice.
