What Tom's Simple Storage Mod works with.
| Platform | Java Edition |
|---|---|
| Loaders | Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, Quilt |
| Minecraft versions | 1.15.2, 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.21.1, 1.21.8, 26.1, 26.3 |
| Environment | Client, Server |
Tom's Simple Storage Mod links chests, barrels, and shulker boxes into a single searchable network through a Storage or Crafting Terminal, then lets you reach that network without cables through a Wireless Terminal. It runs on both client and server, and supports Fabric, NeoForge, Forge, and Quilt, with Fabric and NeoForge reaching Minecraft 26.3.
Installation and required side
Drop the matching Fabric, NeoForge, or Forge jar into the mods folder on every client and every server in the pack. Tom's Simple Storage Mod is required on both sides, so a mismatched install (mod on the client only, or a different loader build on the server) will fail to join or desync inventories.
- Cloth Config API is bundled inside the Fabric build, so no separate download is needed for it.
- Indium is required alongside Sodium on Fabric; without it the mod's rendering can break.
- JEI, REI, and EMI are optional and each adds a Storage Terminal recipe-lookup hook.
- Trinkets is optional and lets the Wireless Terminal sit in an accessory slot.
- Create Contraption Terminals is optional and lets terminals work while riding a moving Create contraption.
How the wireless terminal and Storage Link work
This is the part players search for most: shift-right-click a Wireless Terminal on any connected Storage Terminal, Crafting Terminal, or Inventory Connector to bind it to that network. Once bound, the Wireless Terminal opens that terminal's inventory from a distance, no cable run required. The Advanced Wireless Terminal extends that reach further, and placing a beacon near the bound terminal can push its wireless range to the whole dimension. Community write-ups disagree slightly on the exact block ranges across versions, so treat the beacon tiers as a range booster rather than a fixed number.
Supported loaders and current versions
Support is not even across loaders. Fabric and NeoForge both have a 26.3 release dated September 16, 2026. Forge's most recent build only targets 1.20.1, published April 13, 2025, and its last build for the higher 1.20.4 ceiling dates to July 2024. Quilt has not been updated since a 1.19.2 build in 2022 and should be treated as effectively unsupported.
Compatibility with other storage and recipe mods
Tom's Simple Storage Mod keeps a smaller footprint than a full logistics mod like Refined Storage or drawer-based systems like Storage Drawers: it is built around vanilla containers rather than a new storage medium, so it slots into an existing base without replacing chests already in use.

Questions about Tom's Simple Storage Mod.
5 questions
How do I install Tom's Simple Storage Mod?
Download the build that matches your loader, Fabric, NeoForge, or Forge, and place it in the mods folder on both the client and the server. The mod is required on both sides, so every player and the server need a matching loader build or they will fail to connect.
Does Tom's Simple Storage Mod work with Forge and Quilt?
Yes, but support is uneven. Forge's newest build only reaches Minecraft 1.20.1, and Quilt has not received an update since a 1.19.2 build in 2022. Fabric and NeoForge are the actively maintained loaders and both currently reach 26.3.
How does the Wireless Terminal work in Tom's Simple Storage Mod?
Shift-right-click the Wireless Terminal on a bound Storage Terminal, Crafting Terminal, or Inventory Connector to link it. Once bound, it opens that network's inventory from a distance without cables, and the Advanced Wireless Terminal or a nearby beacon can extend that range further, up to the whole dimension.
Is Tom's Simple Storage Mod compatible with Sodium?
Yes, but on Fabric you also need Indium installed alongside Sodium, or the mod's block rendering can break. Recipe viewers JEI, REI, and EMI are all optional and each adds a lookup hook to the Storage Terminal.
Which Minecraft version does Tom's Simple Storage Mod support?
It spans a wide range, from 1.15.2 up through the current 26.x releases, but not every loader tracks every version. Fabric and NeoForge reach 26.3, Forge stops at 1.20.1, and Quilt is stuck on 1.19.2 from 2022.
