All containers will be available for purchase at Robin's store. You can also spawn them in with CJB Item Spawner.
As these objects are chests, they are picked up as chests are, by hitting them with a tool when they are empty.
There is a sample content pack in the optional files with three custom containers:
A bedside table
A bookshelf
A safe
Explanation on how to create your own custom containers is here.
Known issues:
When the container is removed it appears invisible as it floats towards the player
Container capacity over three rows or 12 items per row causes overlap issues with other UI elements - please add the Expanded Storage mod to fix this
Only clicking on the bottom left area of the object opens the container
Thanks to furyx639 for adding in opening animations and for their work to make Expanded Storage compatible with this mod!
Technical:
Requires SMAPI, uses Harmony.
Compatible with Mod Updater for automatic updates.
