Storage Drawers adds compact, interactive bulk storage blocks to Minecraft Java Edition. Each drawer holds a single item type in large quantities and shows the count directly on the block face, so you can assess your stock at a glance. Created by Texelsaur, it runs on Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge from 1.12.2 through 1.21.11 and operates on both the client and the server.
How Storage Drawers Work
Right-clicking an occupied drawer ejects one stack of its item. Left-clicking inserts everything matching that item from your hotbar. Shift-clicking fills or empties the drawer entirely. Drawers come in single, half, two-slot, and four-slot variants, so you can pack multiple item types into one wall without wasting block space.
- Single drawer: one item type, high base capacity
- Half-drawer: smaller footprint, same single-item focus
- 2-slot and 4-slot drawers: two or four item types per block
- Drawer controller: connects nearby drawers into a network for automated deposit
- Capacity upgrades: tiered items that multiply the base stack count

Drawer Networks and Capacity Upgrades
Place a Drawer Controller adjacent to your drawers, or link them via Drawer Slave blocks and Drawer Trim, to form a network. Depositing items into the controller automatically routes each item to the correct drawer. Capacity upgrades (tiers I through IV) multiply the base storage limit, letting a single drawer hold tens of thousands of a common material like cobblestone or planks.
Compatibility
Drawer networks expose a standard inventory interface that works with pipes and logistics from mods like Applied Energistics 2 and Refined Storage. Because the mod runs server-side, drawers work on multiplayer survival and modded SMP servers without special configuration.

- Supported Minecraft versions: 1.12.2 through 1.21.11
- Side: required on both client and server
- Required on Fabric: Fabric API
