Because you have got rid of mods by making /mods/ the root of the site.
based on your example, your storage should be found at <img src="/storage/mods/1/image.png" alt="" >

Path to storage from a view
I've setup my server with a virtual host and an alias, to redirect the request from /mods to /var/www/html/mods/public (to get rid of the /public in the URL).
First, I would get 500 errors when trying to change page, I found out that I had to change the RewriteBase in the .htaccess in the /public folder, like so :
[...]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /mods/
[...]
Now the routing part works, but I wasn't able to require any assets (CSS, JS, images) that were in the public folder.
This is the code I was using :
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/mods/public/scss/main.css">
I had to change it to this :
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{asset('scss/main.css')}">
(with two curly brackets on each side, the forum won't display it otherwise)
Now it works, I can load my images, CSS and JS files, but I can't load any image or file that is in the storage folder.
This is the path I'm using :
<img src="/mods/storage/mods/1/image.png" alt="" >
I get a 404 in the console because it can't load the image.
How can I load the files/images in the storage folder from my views? I tried using the storage_path() helper, but it doesn't work.

@Snapey I tried that updated path but it still doesn't work.
If I look at the path generate from Laravel's assets() helper function, this is the path for the CSS (that works) :
/mods/scss/main.css
The scss folder is in the /public directory, so I tried this :
/mods/../storage/...
as my path but it still won't work.

share your virtualhost config?

You can use storage_path() helper.

This is the config :
Alias /mods/ "/var/www/html/mods/public/"
<Directory "/var/www/html/mods/public/">
Order allow,deny
AllowOverride All
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
I tried that, the path translates to this :
/var/www/html/mods/storage/mods/2/images/4.png
It won't work though, even if the specified file does exist at that path.
