Containers

Overview

In Terrafirmacraft+, there are multiple types of item and liquid containers. Containers can be portable or non-portable, may or may not be placed (meaning they can be stored on the ground or in chests), and may or may not accept liquids. The following table shows the list of containers in Terrafirmacraft+, and their properties.

3. The double chest has 36 slots of storage.
4. Bags slowly take durability damage when items are in them.
5. Burlap sacks will only hold non-grain food items. Food inside decays at 15% of the normal rate.

Straw Basket

The Straw Basket is obtained with Straw weaving. It acts as a small early-game container, which is not portable, and cannot contain liquid.

Ceramic Vessels

See also: Pottery#Ceramic Vessel

See also: Barrel

The Ceramic Vessel and Ceramic Large Vessel are Pottery. They are shaped from clay, and then fired in a Pit Kiln.

In addition to holding items and grain, Ceramic Vessels can be used to smelt ore and glass.

The Ceramic Large Vessel is portable - it can be sealed and then carried on the back slot like a barrel. It can also hold liquids and be used for barrel crafting recipes, but in smaller amounts. It can be placed on top of a Firepit by holding shift and right clicking. It can also be used to produce Fruit Tree saplings. Lastly, it can be placed on a Firepit and used to boil Salt Water to get Salt, or used as part of a Still for distilling Fermented Alcohols into Distilled Alcohols or for distilling Salt Water into Fresh Water and Salt.

Burlap Sacks can be used to store non-grain food. A Sack has four inventory slots. Food stored in Burlap Sacks decays at 15% of the original speed.

Bags

Bag

Stackable	Yes, 4 (only when empty)
Size ↕	Small
Weight ⚖	Medium
ItemID	terrafirmacraftplus:item.Hide Bag terrafirmacraftplus:item.Leather Bag

The Leather bag and Hide bag are made from sewing two Leather or Hide bag pieces, which are made from Leather or Raw Hide. One leather or one small hide piece returns two leather or hide bag pieces. Empty bags stack to 4. Bags that are holding items do not stack and cannot be placed in other containers.

Bags decay gradually when items are stored in them. The Hide bag will decay after about a month in game holding items, while the Leather bag can store items for about a year. Bags do not decay while the player is offline on a server. Bags do not preserve food, and cannot be placed on the ground. The Hide bag can be obtained early-game, while the Leather bag requires Leatherworking, which is more intensive.

Trivia

• Dunkleosteus was inspired to add the bags after he could not find any clay in a playthrough. He decided that there needed to be an alternative way to store items in a portable container in the early-game.
• Burlap sacks are also known as gunnysacks or potato sacks. The sacks are very durable and very breathable. This helps prevent decay caused by condensation.
