More Shelves
Tired of stuffing every item into a single double chest? More Shelves is a compact furniture add-on that gives your builds a proper place for storage and decoration. Instead of plain wooden boxes, you get a whole family of shelf blocks that look like real furniture and still hold your stuff. Whether you are building a cozy survival cottage, a grand library, or a busy shop, this mod helps every room feel lived in.
What Does the More Shelves Add-On Add?
The core idea is simple: more blocks for storing and displaying items. The add-on introduces shelves, closets, tables, and other furniture pieces so you can stop hiding your loot in ugly chest walls. Each piece is designed to blend with vanilla wood types, which means your builds keep that classic Minecraft look while gaining extra functionality.
Here is a quick overview of what you can expect:
- Basic shelves for everyday storage and display
- Mid shelves and double shelves for larger collections
- Closets that keep your gear out of sight
- Tables that work as both decoration and utility
- A Builder Hammer used to craft the basic shelf variants
- Metal shelves and small shelves as bonus decorative options
Crafting and Progression
The Builder Hammer
From version 1.1 onward, the Builder Hammer is your starting tool. Craft it first, then use it to create basic shelves. Once you have a basic shelf in hand, you can convert it into a Mid shelf or combine pieces into a Double shelf. Break any upgraded shelf and you get the basic version back, so experimenting never wastes your materials.
Metal and Small Shelves
Metal shelves currently exist as decorative blocks without a crafting recipe, and small shelves cannot be crafted yet either. They are still useful for builders who want variety, and the developer has openly invited players to suggest new blocks and mechanics, so future updates may expand these options.
Supported Versions and Loaders
More Shelves for Minecraft is built for the Forge mod loader and targets the classic 1.12.2 era of the game, a version still loved by modpack creators and builders. If you run a 1.12.2 Forge profile, the add-on should slot in without conflicts. Always check the file page for the exact version that matches your game before you download More Shelves, since mixing versions is the fastest way to crash a world.
If you would rather skip manual file juggling, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for More Shelves, dropping the add-on straight into a ready-made profile so you can start building shelves within minutes.
How to Install More Shelves
Installing the add-on is straightforward, even if you have never touched a mod folder before. Follow these steps:
- Install the correct Forge version for Minecraft 1.12.2
- Download More Shelves from a trusted source and save the .jar file
- Open your Minecraft directory and locate the mods folder
- Drop the .jar file into the mods folder
- Launch the Forge profile and confirm the mod loads in the main menu
If the game starts without the new blocks, double-check that you launched Forge and not the vanilla profile. Nine times out of ten, that is the only problem.
Why Builders Keep Coming Back
Storage mods often drown players in complicated GUIs and tech trees. More Shelves takes the opposite approach. It is light, focused, and fits naturally into survival play. You gather wood, craft a hammer, and suddenly your base has furniture. The blocks are also a gift for interior designers: a row of shelves behind a counter, a closet in the bedroom, or tables in a tavern instantly make a build feel finished.
Because the add-on is small, it also plays nicely in modpacks. It does not fight for screen space or add new ores, so it can sit alongside bigger content mods without drama.
Final Thoughts
More Shelves is proof that small additions can change how you play. It turns storage from a chore into part of the decoration process, and it rewards creativity instead of grinding. If you want tidier bases, better-looking rooms, and a reason to finally sort your inventory, this add-on deserves a spot in your mods folder. Grab the Builder Hammer, craft your first shelf, and see how much better your next build looks.
