Arcane Storage Network - Simple Magic Storage

🔮 Arcane Storage Network

⚠️ Work in Progress: This mod is under active development—block models, textures, and visual themes are subject to change in future updates. Always back up your worlds before updating!

Your chests stay chests. The network just learns where they are. Place a Core Pylon, and every chest, barrel, and modded container in range joins a wireless network. Open one Arcane Interface to search, sort, craft, and brew straight from your storages. Nothing is copied into a hidden database, your items stay safely inside the real blocks you built.

Supports Minecraft 26.1.2 (NeoForge).

📖 What Makes It Different

• No Cables or Controller Mazes: One pylon covers a glowing area in the world with zero piping required.
• Real Physical Storage: Vanilla chests, barrels, and modded containers keep their items. Unloaded chunks simply appear offline without force-loading chunks.
• All-in-One Window: View all items, individual storage tabs, crafting, brewing, and gear loadouts inside a single unified screen.
• Smart Storage Rules: Assign custom names, priorities, item filters, or overflow flags per container so items sort themselves automatically.
• Three Network Themes: Owners can switch the visual style of all blocks and windows for every member between Study (brass & green leather), Scriptorium (marble & silver), and Workshop (brick & copper).
• Safe & Illustrated: Server-validated transfers prevent item loss, while the built-in Arcane Guide illustrates every block recipe.

👥 Multiplayer & FAQ

• Access Control: Networks can be set to Private, Shared with specific players, or Public (guests use the network with settings locked).
