Management of items has never been easier!
"Say goodbye to complex cable networks - all you need are network cards to seamlessly link storage blocks for a unified storage system, with the ability to label storage grids using blocks like item frames, offering a unique and organized touch to your storage system"
This mod aims to be as simple as it could be, and also helping to keep your chest/any other storage block aesthetics in your world!
* This mod is inspired by Applied Energistics 2 & Refined Storage. However, I felt that players new to Minecraft Mods might not understand such an intricate system at the get-go. So, this mod is targeted mainly for early game setups, where you might not have enough understanding (for new players) to setup other mods' intricate storage systems.
This mod is still in beta for testing purposes. It should be ready to use in your worlds however, with no game-breaking bugs.
THIS VIDEO IS VERY OLD. FOR BETTER REPRESENTATION OF THE MOD, PLEASE SEE THE SCREENSHOTS BELOW!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I'm planning to add this mod in my server, will it be the cause of lag?
A: This mod has been tested for mods on a ~20-30 players modpack server with no trace of causing any lag.
Q: Does this mod force load any chunks?
A: Yes, but only when you open the Storage Controller's GUI. This is done to prevent lag on the server-side when searching for storages that are far away when extracting/inserting items. This can be disabled in the server config toml file however, this will make the Storage Controller avoid any storages that are in an unloaded chunk.
Q: Can I connect an external machine to this mod?
A: We have a block called the Storage Interface that allows you to extract/insert items from the Storage Controller's network. This allows external mod support.
Modpack Usage
Yes, you may. You don't need to ask for permission, you can include it in your modpacks.
