DeepNull Reforged (DankNull) [NeoForge/Fabric]

A modern NeoForge port and expansion of /dank/null by p455w0rd, rebuilt for Minecraft 1.21.1.

DeepNull Reforged keeps the original fast-access storage concept, then pushes it further with modern automation support, fluid handling, JEI integration, upgrades, configuration, in-game documentation, and a full companion fluid variant called the DampNull.

What it does

DeepNull

• Adds DeepNulls from Redstone through Creative.
• Each DeepNull stores huge amounts of items across a number of slots based on its tier.
• Stored blocks, items, buckets, food, and other right-click items can be used directly from the DeepNull.
• Stored blocks can be selected through the GUI or with Shift + Scroll Wheel and placed directly from the item with a live preview.
• Pick Block support can select matching stored materials from the DeepNull.
• DeepNulls automatically absorb matching items if that item already exists inside.
• JEI crafting transfer can pull ingredients from carried DeepNulls.

Per-slot behavior includes:

• extraction rules
• placement rules
• tag matching
• selection
• slot reordering
• custom minimum extraction amounts

DampNull

• Adds DampNulls, a dedicated fluid-storage counterpart to the DeepNull.
• DampNulls store multiple fluids at once in internal tanks.
• Fluids can be selected, placed into the world, and picked back up directly from source blocks.
• DampNulls support transfer with compatible fluid inventories and tanks.
• Optional Mekanism support allows DampNulls to work with compatible chemical storage and transfer.
• DampNulls support generator-style and utility upgrades that expand them beyond simple tank storage.

Docking Station

• Adds a Docking Station that can hold either a DeepNull or DampNull.
• Supports standard NeoForge capability-based automation for:
  • item transfer
  • fluid transfer
  • FE transfer
  • chemical transfer when the installed Null supports it
• Works with universal piping and storage systems that respect standard handlers.

Upgrades

DeepNulls and DampNulls support a growing upgrade system, including:

• Filter Upgrade
• Bucket Upgrade
• Energy Upgrade
• Deep Energy Upgrade
• Chemical Upgrade
• Auto-Feeding Upgrade
• Auto-Smelting Upgrade
• Basic Compression Upgrade

These upgrades allow features like:

• whitelist / blacklist filtering

• FE storage and charging
• automatic eating from stored food
• automatic smelting of supported world pickups
• automatic 2x2 and 3x3 compression recipes
• fluid and chemical transfer support
• passive material generation and stone-processing automation
• linked storage mirroring through the Ender Upgrade

Null Workbench and Synchronizer

• Adds the Null Workbench, a dedicated utility station for crafting, syncing, and styling Nulls.
• Workbench recipes provide alternate progression paths for DeepNull tiers, DampNull tiers, panels, and support items.
• The style tab allows frame and glass recoloring while preserving normal tier defaults until the item is actually customized.
• The sync tab works with the Synchronizer to back up and restore Null configuration.

JEI / QoL / Automation

• JEI recipe transfer support for 2x2 and 3x3 crafting
• JEI workbench recipe transfer support for the Null Workbench
• Recipe transfer can use ingredients from carried DeepNulls
• Shift + Right Click transfer can push to and pull from compatible inventories and tanks
• Includes configurable transfer locking, hotkeys, and multiple client/common/server config options
• AE2-aware transfer support
• Optional GuideME support for in-game documentation

Tier notes

• Lower tiers hold smaller amounts per slot.
• Higher tiers dramatically increase capacity.
• Creative-tier Nulls are effectively infinite utility tools.
