About

The Barrel is a utility storage block that provides 27 slots of inventory space, half the capacity of a chest but compact and directional. It can be rotated to face any direction and works well in tight spaces or as a decorative storage alternative.

Barrels are fully stackable in inventory (stack to 64) and break instantly with any tool or by hand. Use them to decentralize storage on your server or create compact storage rooms. The barrel's directional face has no mechanical effect on access, any side opens the inventory.
