Description

Diamond Chest is the top tier of the Ala Industrial chest ladder: 108 slots in twelve rows of nine, reached through a six-row window with a scrollbar. The recipe follows the ladder's rule — eight diamonds around one Electrum Chest, the tier below (the ladder reads iron 36 → silver 45 → gold 54 → electrum 81 → diamond 108). Diamond Chest needs no energy: it is passive storage with no cables and no EU draw, and the window stays six rows tall on purpose — a taller panel would not fit the screen height the game guarantees, so capacity grows by scrolling instead. The chest runs in Minecraft 26.2 Java Edition on both Fabric and NeoForge.

Two Diamond Chests placed side by side pair into a double chest of 216 slots — only same-tier chests pair, so an electrum neighbour stays single. The blast resistance of 1200, the ancient-debris figure, makes Diamond Chest immune to TNT, creepers and charged creepers: an explosion spends its whole budget on such a block, and the chest even shields whatever stands behind it. The one exception is the wither, whose ram checks the wither_immune tag instead of the resistance number. Hoppers, item pipes and a comparator work with Diamond Chest like with any other chest, and a Stock Display Frame hung beside it shows the item count inside.

Java Edition Guide

How to craft and use the Diamond Chest in Ala Industrial

  1. 1

    Craft an Electrum Chest first

    Build the 81-slot Electrum Chest — the tier below — because every chest tier in Ala Industrial is crafted from the one beneath it.

  2. 2

    Surround it with eight diamonds

    Place the Electrum Chest in the centre of a crafting table and fill the remaining eight cells of the grid with diamonds; the result is one Diamond Chest.

  3. 3

    Scroll the twelve rows

    Open the Diamond Chest and scroll with the mouse wheel or the side bar: the six-row window slides over twelve rows of nine, and shift-click still reaches rows that are off screen.

  4. 4

    Pair and automate

    Place a second Diamond Chest side by side for a 216-slot double, then attach hoppers or item pipes; a comparator reads how full the chest is.

The wither exception

Blast resistance 1200 stops TNT, creepers and charged creepers, but a wither still breaks the Diamond Chest: the ram checks the wither_immune tag, not the resistance number. Keep storage out of a wither fight.

Frequently asked questions

How many slots does the Diamond Chest have?

108 slots — twelve rows of nine behind a six-row scrolling window. Two chests side by side pair into a double chest of 216 slots.

What is the Diamond Chest recipe?

Eight diamonds placed around one Electrum Chest in a shaped crafting recipe. The Electrum Chest is the tier below, with 81 slots.

Does the Diamond Chest need energy?

No. Diamond Chest is passive storage — no EU draw and no cables; the scrolling window is just part of the interface.

Can TNT or creepers destroy the Diamond Chest?

No. The blast resistance of 1200 — the same figure as ancient debris — makes TNT, creepers and charged creepers leave the chest and its contents alone. The exception is the wither, whose ram checks the wither_immune tag and still breaks the block.

Can a Diamond Chest pair with a lower-tier chest?

No. Only same-tier chests pair — an electrum, gold, silver or iron chest stays single next to a Diamond Chest.

Is the Diamond Chest available outside Java Edition?

No. Ala Industrial is a Java Edition mod for Minecraft 26.2 and runs on both Fabric and NeoForge.
