Create: Storage [Neo/Forge]

1.3.0 - 2026-06-20

New Features

Storage

• Reserve Barrel – Stores items, keeping configured amounts in reserve, useful for tree farms or drills.

Jukebox Upgrade

• Phantom Ward – Play Music Disc 13 to keep phantoms away - they'll abort their dive attack within 3 blocks of a protected player.

Simple Storage Box

• Compacting Upgrade – New upgrade for the Simple Storage Box that compresses items into higher tiers.
  • Use Ctrl + Scroll (or compacting wheel keybind [Tab]) to select the displayed item.
  • Check out the in-game Simple Storage Box ponder to see the Compacting Upgrade in action!

Backpack Upgrades

• Crafting Upgrade – Craft items right from your backpack!
• Portable Workshop Upgrade – A mini workshop you can take anywhere! Supports deploying, pressing, and polishing recipes, powered by air pressure (configurable RPM).

Changes

• Backpacks can now be used on Create contraptions - including all inventory, tool slots, and upgrades.
  • Player-only upgrades (all except Magnet, Jukebox, Crafting, and Portable Workshop) will show a dark red overlay when installed in a contraption-mounted backpack.
• Jade support for Simple Storage Boxes, displaying max item capacity and number of capacity upgrades.
• Backpack upgrade panels now open one at a time - opening a new one closes the last.
• The Jetpack Upgrade now costs fewer resources to craft.
