Then you can't colour-code your barrels.
Don't forget that JABBA has an easily acquired means to transport fully loaded barrels (the dolly) and while labelled by default on one side can be optionally labelled on the others as well.
because the crafting recipes are prohibitively expensive. Diamonds, blaze rods, ender pearls, and obsidian just for simple storage. If I wanted storage that was that expensive I'd just use a DSU

I just realized that I forgot THREE edited extremely important points:
1) you can lock JABBA barrels to one item, which saves a lot of trouble with precise piping systems. Even if you aren't using pipes, seeing you have 0 of something feels a lot more organized than having empty holes in your barrel wall.
2) dollies. How could anyone live without them? No, portal/gravi guns are not an alternative, I don't like accidentally shooting my chests miles away or replacing blocks with them.
3) you can double-right click them while holding any item, and they will store any of the same item in them no matter what's in your inventory. That's amazing.
By the way, why would you dislike upgradeable barrels? That 1024 stacks upgrade for old Factorization barrels was amazingly useful, but sadly it didn't survive the major barrel nerf of 1.6.

I don't see how being forced to be creative is a good thing, I'd rather have freedom in what I can do. Plus, 1.6 FZ barrels can be rotated and accept inputs from behind, so it's not like you need that much "creativity".
It's basically FZ barrels as a standalone mod with this strange rendering for blocks, so I don't think there's much to talk about it.

I'm curious... The only ways I'm familiar with to move full barrels, or other chests for that matter, are portal/gravity guns and that MFFR transporter. Oh, and that method in the Quantum Physics mod. All far more expensive than 5 iron ingots and a wood plank.
Please let me know... I have barrels in packs without JABBA that I need to move.
The entire point of MC is to be creative.
I don't... I just don't like the JABBA system.[DOUBLEPOST=1402848232][/DOUBLEPOST]

Almost* everyone is completely ignoring "The Barrels Mod", which, in its pure simplicity, beats both JABBA and factorization barrels hands-down.
It does barrels and upgraded barrels.
And the basic recipe is cheap, and the upgrades are costly, but a lot less fidfly that the jabba barrels ridiculous recursive put-more-barrels-into-the-same-block-to-store-more mechanisim.

I mentioned it!
Well actually omnitools was a lot different. In omnitools it forbid such transactions.
Wait, factorization is still a thing? Wow.
Personally, I'd go for JABBA because using FZ for barrels means actually installing FZ, which is something I prefer to not do. With JABBA, I see zero uses for anything in FZ that is not done better and more efficiently with another mod.

As much as I dislike FZ, the opening of his post is a bit harsh.
