Sophisticated Storage: Basic Blocks and Upgrades
Sophisticated Storage introduces various storage blocks and their upgrades. These include Barrels, Chests, and Shulker Boxes, which are available in multiple material tiers.
Basic Storage Blocks
Generic Wood Storage
The Generic Wood Storage block serves as the foundation for many sophisticated storage solutions. It has six different crafting recipes, allowing for the creation of various initial storage types.
For example, combining a 
Lever with 
Oak Planks and an 
Oak Slab can produce a Barrel. If you use a Lever with just Oak Planks, you can craft a Chest.
The Generic Wood Storage can also be crafted into specialized Limited Barrels for high-capacity item storage. Recipes include:
- Lever + Oak Planks + Oak Slab creates a Limited Barrel I.
- Lever + Oak Planks + Oak Slab creates a Limited Barrel II.
- Lever + Oak Planks + Oak Slab creates a Limited Barrel III.
- Lever + Oak Planks + Oak Slab creates a Limited Barrel IV.
