Ambitious storage is invaluable if you’re venturing into the Nether, the End, or just the Overworld. The Holding Enchantment, which comes with the CoFH Core Mod, enhances storage items, making space a lesser concern.

Storage containers like chests, shulker boxes, and bags help with this, but each has a limited capacity before it fills up. This is where the incredibly useful Holding enchantment comes in – it solves this inventory problem by expanding the storage capacity of containers immensely.


Key Takeaways

  • To apply enchantments to the various items, you must first craft an Enchantment table using obsidian, diamonds, and a book.
  • Accessing your enchantment table, you can apply enchantments to your items by spending lapis lazuli blocks and level points.
  • Next, you can get the Holding Enchantment from the CoFH Core Mod, and later, you can apply it to your suitcases, chests, and tanks.
