 ====== Storing items in a block as an Inventory ======
+:!: This page has been updated for mojmap. Because of this change, the class known as "Inventory" in yarn mappings is now called "Container." See [[https://docs.fabricmc.net/develop/migrating-mappings/#whats-going-on-with-mappings|What's Going On With Mappings]] for more detail.
 Make sure you've [[tutorial:blockentity|made a block entity]] before reading this tutorial.
-The standard way to store items in a BlockEntity is to make it an ''Inventory''.
+The simplest way to store items in a BlockEntity is to make it a ''Container''. This allows hoppers (or other mods) to insert and extract items from your BlockEntity without any extra work. For more flexible and complex ways to store items, refer to the [[tutorial:transfer-api_item_storage|Item transfer with Storage<ItemVariant>]] tutorial.
