Chests Anywhere

Access your chests, dressers, fridge, shipping bin, and Junimo huts from anywhere by pressing B. Transfer items without having to run around, from the comfort of your bed to the deepest mine level.

For non-English players, translations are included in the base mod. Contributions are welcome!

 

- Download the version you want: unlimited (access all your chests from anywhere) or balanced (access chests in your current world area).

- Install the latest version of SMAPI.

- Unzip the mod folder into Stardew Valley/Mods.

- Run the game using SMAPI.

 

- Access chests by pressing B. This will show your chests grouped by category. Navigate by clicking the top dropdowns, or by pressing the arrow keys.

- Edit chests by clicking the edit icon after opening a chest (see example). This will show a form where you can...

- set the chest name;

- set a category (which defaults to its location);

- set the sort order in the chest list;

- or hide the chest from the chest list.

- Point at a chest in the world to see its name in a tooltip (if it has one).

- Open the shipping bin as if it were a chest to take items back out before they're shipped.

You can optionally customise the mod settings (including keyboard/controller mappings).

Is the mod still compatible?

- The mod is compatible with Stardew Valley 1.5.5 or later on Linux/macOS/Windows, both single-player and multiplayer.

Does the mod work in multiplayer?

- Chests Anywhere works fine in multiplayer. The only limitation is that farmhands can only see chests in synced locations (mainly the farm, farm buildings, and their current location), due to limitations in the game's multiplayer.

The mod is local, so it's fine if only some players have it (whether they're the host or farmhands) and it'll only work for those who do.

Does the mod conflict with any others?There's one known conflict:
     ■ Joys of Efficiency may cause errors when opening the shipping bin.
This seems overpowered. Is there a balanced version?

- Yep, you can download settings for a balanced mode on the files tab. You can also install Generic Mod Config Menu or manually edit the config to set options like range, whether it can be used in the mines, etc.

ABOUT THIS LISTING

This page describes Chests Anywhere by pathoschild. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on CurseForge on 25 October 2026: https://www.curseforge.com/stardewvalley/mods/chests-anywhere

Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on edge.forgecdn.net, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

SMAPI

This is a SMAPI mod, not a loose content file. SMAPI — the Stardew Modding API, from smapi.io — must be installed first, and the game started through it. Without it the folder sits in Mods and nothing loads.

GAME VERSION

Built against Stardew Valley 1.6.15. SMAPI mods usually survive minor game patches, but a mod built for 1.6 will not load on 1.5.

DEPENDENCIES

Many mods require a framework mod as well — Content Patcher above all, sometimes SpaceCore or Json Assets. SMAPI prints the exact missing name at launch; a red error naming a dependency is the usual reason a freshly installed mod does nothing.

1. Download the archive with the button on this page and unzip it.

2. Move the mod's folder into your Mods directory:

Windows — %AppData%\StardewValley\Mods

macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/StardewValley/Contents/MacOS/Mods

Linux — ~/.config/StardewValley/Mods

3. Start the game through SMAPI, not the normal launcher. SMAPI lists every mod it loaded at startup — check yours is there and did not print an error.

UPDATING

Delete the old folder before unzipping the new one. Two copies of a mod is the classic cause of duplicate items and crashes, and unzipping over the top keeps stale files the new version no longer expects.
