Small barrels hold 3000 items of same type, large barrels hold 99,999 items of same type and creative barrels hold infinite items of same type. Liquid barrels hold 100 buckets of same type and creative liquid barrels hold infinite buckets of same type. Locked and creative barrels can only be accessed by the player who placed them. Protected barrels can only be accessed by players who have access to the area.
Barrels can be placed on floor, ceiling or walls (magic prevents your items from falling out). Barrels can be rotated with a screwdriver, left click to rotate around axis, right click to change axis. Liquid barrels can only be oriented with opening on top (ran out of magic). There is a small mark on the opening to indicate orientation.
