About this project
What does Iron Barrels add?

-Supports Forge, NeoForge, and Fabric.
-1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.20.1, and 1.21.1 versions of the mod require the dependency: Iron Core
-Fabric versions of the mod require the dependency: Fabric API
-Iron Barrels mod adds different tiers of barrels that increase in storage as the tiers go up.
-You can either upgrade the barrels by crafting the specific tier you need or using a barrel upgrade.
-How upgrades work is that for example if you have an iron to gold barrel upgrade, you can right click on your iron barrel to turn it into a gold barrel with all of the items inside
-The higher the tier the more space the barrel has to store your items inside of, diamond barrel is the max amount of slots for 1.15 and has a bit under 110 slots of storage! However in 1.16.5+ there is a Netherite Barrel with nearly 140 slots of storage! You can use this mod in 1.12.2 with FutureMC or Unseen's Nether Backport installed and it will add the Netherite Barrel.
-There is an obsidian barrel which stores the same amount as diamond barrel just harder and has the properties of an obsidian block (High blast resistance and hard to break).
-Report any bugs in the Curseforge comment section.
-Customizable recipe config file to disable/enable recipes easily added via Iron Core!
Note: Use Polymorph or YARCF if using Iron Chests mod, or recipes may interfere.
