Iron Chests Server Hosting

Iron Chests is one of the oldest and most essential storage mods in Minecraft history, with nearly 200 million downloads across its long lifespan. When you host a server with Iron Chests, you're providing players with a classic, reliable upgrade to Minecraft's storage system that has stood the test of time since the earliest days of modding.

Why Host a Server with Iron Chests?

Vanilla Minecraft's storage is frustrating - small chests that must be doubled, taking up valuable floor space. Iron Chests solves this elegantly with single-block chests that hold far more than vanilla doubles. This simple improvement dramatically enhances the player experience without adding complexity.

Server Requirements for Iron Chests

Iron Chests is one of the most lightweight mods available. We recommend just 2-4GB RAM, as the mod adds virtually zero server overhead. It's purely a storage expansion with no complex mechanics to process. This makes it perfect for any server type, from vanilla+ to heavy modpacks.

Chest Tiers and Capacities

The progression starts with Iron Chests holding 54 slots (equivalent to a double chest in one block). Gold Chests expand to 81 slots. Diamond Chests offer 108 slots of storage. The massive Obsidian Chest provides the most storage and is also explosion-proof. Crystal Chests are transparent, letting you see contents at a glance.

Direct Upgrade System

Players don't need to empty chests to upgrade them. Special upgrade items convert chests in-place, preserving all contents. This quality-of-life feature makes the progression smooth and satisfying rather than tedious.

Space Efficiency Benefits

A single Diamond Chest replaces multiple double chests, dramatically reducing the footprint of storage rooms. This matters especially on servers where base size affects performance or where players compete for territory.

Universal Compatibility

Iron Chests works with virtually every mod and modpack ever created. Its simple design means no conflicts or compatibility issues. It integrates seamlessly with hopper systems, storage networks, and automation mods.

Essential for All Server Types

Whether you're hosting a vanilla+ survival server, a massive tech modpack, or anything in between, Iron Chests belongs in your mod list. It's included in nearly every modpack for good reason - simple, effective, and universally beloved by players.
