The Strongbox is a storage block added by Thermal Expansion. Unlike most Chests, when broken a Strongbox retains its contents and can be used as portable storage though they cannot be opened from the player's inventory. The basic Strongbox has 18 slots, which can be increased with the Holding enchantment and material upgrades. The only other enchantment possible on this item is Soulbound.
Aside from being able to store items, the Strongbox offers security features. It can be set to public access, owner only access, or restricted access. Restricted allows anyone who's on the player's COFH friends list to access the inventory. Also, items can only be pumped into and out of Strongboxes when they are set to public access. Security can be enabled/disabled in config/cofh/thermalexpansion/common.cfg
Use a Crescent Hammer and Shift + right-click Strongboxes to pick them up or a pickaxe (1.7.10, version dependent).
Recipe
Usage
Strongbox can be used to create the following items:
Tiers
Strongboxes follow Thermal Expansion's tier system. The tier of a Strongbox determines several of its properties: storage capacity, block hardness and resistance to explosions. The Creative Strongbox can have an infinite amount of a certain item taken out of it, has no default crafting recipe, and as the name implies is intended for creative mode testing.
The following table shows the block hardness and explosion resistance of Strongboxes per tier. For comparison, see Blocks by hardness and Blast resistance on the Minecraft Wiki.
| Tier | Hardness | Blast resistance |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Strongbox | 5 | 15 |
| Hardened Strongbox | 15 | 90 |
| Reinforced Strongbox | 20 | 120 |
| Resonant Strongbox | 20 | 120 |
| Creative Strongbox | ∞ | 1200 |
Capacity
Strongboxes can be enchanted with the Holding enchantment to increase their capacity. This means that the capacity of a Strongbox depends on two things: tier and Holding enchantment level.
The following table shows how many storage slots Strongboxes have, depending on tier and Holding enchantment level.
| Tier | Unenchanted | Holding I | Holding II | Holding III | Holding IV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Strongbox | 18 | 27 (Chest) | 36 | 45 | 54 |
| Hardened Strongbox | 36 | 45 | 54 (Large Chest) | 63 | 72 |
| Reinforced Strongbox | 54 (Large Chest) | 63 | 72 | 80 | 88 |
| Resonant Strongbox | 72 | 80 | 88 | 96 | 104 |
| Creative Strongbox | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Known Issues
- 1.6.4 - Picking up a Strongbox with a ME Storage Cell (any size) inside crashes and corrupts the world.
- Early versions of the Strongbox could only be accessed with Itemducts for automated logistics and required a Crescent Hammer or BattleWrench to pick up.
