I know that GRealm added a Miner and AlchemistNPC added a Jewler, but ok not sure if you can get an updated Miner or similar right now. Don't quote me on that, though.

Magic Storage v0.4.0.2
Are you tired of having a mess of chests in your base? Never remember where you put your items, and have to run across your entire house to get from chest to chest? This mod will solve all of your problems!
This mod offers a solution to storage problems once and for all. It allows you to construct a central network to store all your items, that you can access from one single block. If desired, you can even set up multiple access points to use your storage from anywhere in the world. You can search your storage for items with a certain name, filter by item types, etc. The magic storage can even craft items for you!
The magic storage scales as you progress in your playthrough. It is accessible very early in the game, but with limited power. As you defeat bosses and earn more materials, you will be able to upgrade your storage to perform more functions and more easily expand the storage capacity.
The first thing you will want to do is craft several Storage Components:
10+ 2
=
(Requires
)
Note: Any wood can be used, and Lead may be used in place of Iron.
By itself, the Storage Component does nothing. However, it the base material for crafting all blocks in the mod. In addition, it can be used to connect different parts of your storage network (more on that later).
+ 5+ 10
=
(Requires
)
As its name implies, the Storage Heart is the heart of your storage network. Every storage network must have one, and exactly one, in order to function. You can right-click the heart to access all items in its network.
Simply place one down to create a storage network.
Note: A Storage Heart cannot be physically connected to another Storage Heart or to a Remote Storage Access.
The first row of top-left buttons allow you to sort the items by default vanilla sorting, by ID, or in alphabetical order. The Deposit All button deposits all unfavorited items in your inventory and not in your hotbar into the storage. The top Search Bar allows you to search for items whose name contains whatever you type. The second row of top-left buttons allow you to filter items by category, while the bottom Search Bar allows you to search for items whose mod's name contains whatever you type.
To deposit an item, simply click any slot with the item in your mouse. To withdraw an item, click a slot containing the item while your mouse is not holding an item. It will attempt to withdraw up to a full stack. To withdraw one item, right-click the slot instead. You can also hold right-click to rapidly withdraw one item at a time.
You can also shift-click to deposit and withdraw items.
++ 10
=
(Requires
)
Note: Tungsten can be used in place of Silver.
You've probably noticed that by itself, you can't really do much with the Storage Heart. No items can be deposited into it. This is because you must connect one or more Storage Units to it in order for it to be able to store items.
The Storage Unit can store 40 items, just like a normal chest. This can be upgraded, however. When you deposit an item into a Storage Heart, it will search through all connected Storage Units to find space for it. Similarly, if you withdraw an item from a Storage Heart, it will search through all connected Storage Units to find it. This is where the Storage Heart becomes the central access for all your items; no longer do you have to search through rows of chests to find what you're looking for!
Once a Storage Unit contains items, the green indicator light on the bottom-right will turn yellow. When it becomes full, the light will turn red. You can also right-click a Storage Unit to get the exact number of item stacks it contains. When a Storage Unit contains items, it cannot be mined.
The Storage Heart will gradually attempt to draw items to the Storage Units closest to it. This way, you don't have to worry about having many Storage Units each with just a small amount of items, unable to be mined.
In order to upgrade a storage unit, you must craft an upgrade item, then right-click a previous-tier Storage Unit with the upgrade. You may also craft the Storage Unit and the upgrade together, if you wish.

I've mentioned connecting Storage Hearts to Storage Units, but haven't actually explained what that means. Two Storage Components are connected if they are touching each other, or if they are connected to components that are touching each other. This is a bit difficult to explain, so here are some examples with pictures.

Storage Units that contain items cannot be mined. However, this can be rather inconvenient when you don't exactly control when items are deposited to or withdrawn from a specific Storage Unit. The Storage Unit Wand solves this problem. Simply left-click a Storage Unit with the wand to deactivate it; this will turn the light in the top-right corner off. If you want to reactivate a Storage Unit, just click it with the wand again. You can also right-click a Storage Unit to see whether it is active or inactive.
A deactivated Storage Unit can still be withdrawn from, but cannot be deposited into. Additionally, the Storage Heart will attempt to move all items in the deactivated unit into other units as fast as possible, so that you can mine the deactivated unit.
10+= 16(Requires
)
Note: Any wood can be used, and Lead may be used in place of Iron.
One problem with using Storage Components to connect different parts of your network is that they take up a huge 2x2 space. In addition, they are pretty iron/lead-expensive to use. Storage Connectors solve this problem: they function similar to Storage Components, except they are 1x1 and cannot be stood on. They even visually connect together!
+ 3+ 10=(Requires
)
The Storage Heart lets you access all your items from one central location. But then the problem arises: you have to walk all the way to that location in order to get your items! #FirstWorldProblems
The Storage Access solves this problem. Simply connect a Storage Access to a Storage Heart, then when you right-click the Storage Access, it will open up the Storage Heart for you!
+ 5+ 10=(Requires
)
Now for some more serious problems. So far, you need to actually physically connect the Storage Heart to all Storage Units. This means your house will still be filled to the brim with blocks, and you can't access your storage from far away (unless you line the world with Storage Components). But never fear, Remote Storage Accesses are here!
First, you must place down a Remote Storage Access where you want to access your network from, or where you want to place your Storage Units. Next, you must craft a Locator:
10+ 5
=
(Requires
/)
Next, you must right-click a Storage Heart with the Locator. This will store the Storage Heart's location onto the Locator.
Once the Locator has a location stored, you must right-click the Remote Storage Access with the Locator. This will copy the location onto the Remote Storage Access, and consume the Locator.
A Remote Storage Access whose stored location points to a Storage Heart will become connected to the Storage Heart. This means right-clicking the Remote Storage Heart will open the GUI with all the items of the Storage Heart. Similarly, a Storage Access can be connected to the Remote Storage Access and function properly, and the Storage Heart will use all Storage Units that are connected to the Remote Storage Access.
To clear the location stored on a Remote Storage Access, you must mine then re-place it.
There is also a second type of Locator, the Locator Drive. Instead of being consumed upon use, the location stored on the Locator Disk will simply become cleared.

Note: A Remote Storage Access cannot be physically connected to another Remote Storage Access or to a Storage Heart.

You can easily store and retrieve items to your heart's content, and even access your items from all over the world. But one thing is missing: how about crafting? You might have noticed that you cannot craft anything while viewing your storage. The Storage Crafting Interface fixes all those problems!
To use a Storage Crafting Interface, first connect it to a Storage Heart. There are 10 slots available at the top for you to put crafting stations into. This will enable you to use any recipe that uses those crafting stations. Below those, you will see a list of all the recipes in the game. These recipes can be sorted, searched, and filtered by the items they create. If you click on a recipe, its info will appear on the right-hand side, including what ingredients you have in the storage already, and how many of the result you already have. Click the Craft button to craft the recipe; the ingredients will automatically be used and the result will automatically be deposited into storage. You can also hold the Craft button to keep on crafting.
To use a recipe that requires water, you can use either a sink or a water bucket for a crafting station. You can use a lava bucket for lava, and a honey bucket for honey. There is also a new item called a Snow Biome Emulator for recipes that require a snow biome.
At this point, you're probably wondering: "Where on earth am I supposed to get all these diamonds?!" Worry not, this mod offers a solution to that! The first time you kill each boss, it will drop an item called a Shadow Diamond. You have the option to use these items instead of regular diamonds for any of this mod's recipes.

so do i just keep making the remote over and over and over again when in mine the remote storage access and place it somewhere else??
SlippyCheeze

...I'm pretty certain the *expected* use is that you place a remote access point, and then it just stays there more or less forever. It's certainly what I do: I have enough remote access points at the various places I do things (eg: herb garden, the various levels of fishing pool, etc) that just stay there in the buildings and infrastructure I put up around the spot.

yeah. thought it was a crafting upgrade thing :/ should be fixed nonetheless

ok call me greedy..... any chance we could get a second row of crafting slots on the crafting storage interface? with all the mods i use it would be nice, then again i can just do what i am doing now, multiple crafting storage cubes

Yeah, same. I think it's SUPPOSED to add the item to the storage, which would be EPIC.
alright thanks, not what i was expecting but it's cool.
CoronaKing
Steampunker
As far as I can tell, only way to manipulate that, is to take out the ingredients it would use beforehand, lol.
TheModdedMage
Terrarian
actully there is an order it will be used in. from left to right the ingredients will be used.
1. I wanted to put a place to deposit/withdraw items in the Crafting Interface, but the UI didn't have enough spaceI would like to add some thoughts about this mod.
Those are some things I don't like. I am very happy you have a handheld remote storage access in the works, and I can't wait, but PLEASE make it cheaper than the locator drive. I'm thinking more like, idk, Chlorophyte? Maybe even create some ore that has properties involving item teleportation? Ooh! I know! how about you need to use Teleporters in the recipe? I don't know. Now I don't like to end posts on a sad note, so I'm going to end with recommendations and what I enjoy.
- I do not like the crafting interface. I'm sorry, it's a great thing to have, but it's tedious that you can't extract and deposit items while in the interface. I would recommend something like AE from minecraft, but different:
- You can have the normal crafting interface, but it acts like the normal (wireless) storage access/storage heart. The only difference is that it has the default terraria crafting interface to the left of the storage. Along with the crafting interface, you have a "Craft core" or something, where you put crafting things inside, which then allow you to craft with those things through the interface.
- Sorting is wonky, as the "sort by stack amount" sorts by how many stacks of items you have. I would rather it sort by how many of that item is in the system.
- Cost is a little bit high. I feel like it should be more around, i don't know, 6-8 ingots along with the gem instead of 10.
- The dear old Locator Drive. I do NOT like this thing. It's endgame, and by then your storage system is already how you want it; It only holds the location until you use it, then it's gone; and it is very expensive. I do not like to waste that much luminite on an item like that. I'd rather save the materials for modded things. PLEASE make a change here, it's sad and needs some love.
- Storage connectors should definitely be a background item. I do not like having holes in my walls where the storage connectors are, even though they are 1 wide. Simply because, I can't run them through rooms (suitable for NPC's or a spawn point.)
Some recommendations:
- I love this mod in general. I hate having 3 million, unsorted chests in my house, where I have to look through every single one to find one item.
- The way storage works. I love how all the things just need to be touching for it to work. It makes me happy.
That's what I have to say. I'd rate this mod 200/10, as this kind of thing has been needed for YEARS! Thank you very much! I recommend this mod to everyone!
- A creative storage cell that just holds infinite items, and not just gives a "creative inventory."
- to solve the storage connector problem from earlier, a storage cable that works like wiring?
- First mod to have item hoppers? I/O busses?
The default vanilla crafting UI takes up so much space horizontally for big recipes, and the Crafting Interface itself already pushes the limits of smaller resolutions. I wish there was something I could do about that 2. I will add something like that in the future.
3. The high cost is meant to offset the sheer convenience of the storage. Eight bars does sound nice though; I'll have to think about that.
4. This mod was actually designed with post-Moonlord mods in mind (which is actually why the Terra Upgrade exists). I also imagine that once the Moonlord is defeated, a lot of people would enjoy tons of building, which would make the Locator Drive more useful.
5. The main problem with making storage connectors background things is that it would require so much memory, both with RAM and with the save file.
1. I will never make an infinite-capacity unit, but if there is enough demand I could make a tier beyond Terra.
2. I considered that, but that would require too much memory for such a thing with such a limited use.
3. I do feel like wanting to do that, but I feel like it would go best in a different mod (and I'm already busy as is).
That is a bug which has been fixed in the next version (not sure when I'll release it).
This is indeed the expected use.
I actually kind of wanted to do that, but the problem is that the Crafting Interface UI doesn't have enough space for that for any resolution under 4k
I do plan to add an option to click ingredients in the right-hand menu to stop them from being used.

Steampunker
How about a button/additional unit type that we can use to sell things? Maybe something that is like the crafting unit, looks just the same, but with the ability to craft/obtain tokens or items to simulate NPC shops? I hate asking for more features, considering how amazing it already is!

You need a Storage Heart, one or more Storage Units connected to the SH, a Remote Access, and a Locater.
Place down the SH and the SU's. Place down the RA somewhere else. Right-click the SH with the Locator. Go to the RA, right-click it with the Locator. The Locator will be consumed and the RA will be connected to the SH.

I have an idea. How about a scroll bar, or tabs? or you could do this:I wanted to put a place to deposit/withdraw items in the Crafting Interface, but the UI didn't have enough space
A separate block known as a Crafting Processor.
This block will go hand in hand with the Crafting interface and another block, Crafting Storage.
A Crafting processor will allow crafts to be done within the system, and the Crafting storage allows you to place crafting benches inside them to use in the crafting interface.
The crafting interface will have the normal craft bar you have when you just open up your inventory, with the item storage to the right of that. I think this would work really well.
