So, what is this mod all about?
Compact Storage started off as a mod that added different tiers of chests, it has since evolved into an upgrade based storage system. The Compact Barrel, Chest and Backpack all start off with a 9 x 6 inventory size (yes, this is an upgrade from previous versions!) and can be upgraded using the Storage Upgrades to a maxium size of 24 x 12 (see below!)
This allows for a lot of storage in one block space, this also carries over to backpacks which must be upgraded by putting the upgrade in your offhand and clicking the backpack! This mods focus is on dense storage with an accessible upgrade path. I have a lot of plans for advancing the progression through the mod so stay tuned!
Storage Options
Chests
Works the same as a standard vanilla chest, can be upgraded to a maximum size of 24x12 by right clicking with any of the upgrade items.

Compact Barrel
Works the same as a standard vanilla barrel, can be upgraded to a maximum size of 24x12 by right clicking with any of the upgrade items.

Item Drum
The first more unique storage option that was implemented, Drums do not have an inventory screen and are all world based interaction. They can store up to 64 stacks of ONE item. To add items, right click and to extract punch or shift click on the Drum. They can be upgraded with Retainer Upgrades to keep items when broken.
