There is so much to collect in Minecraft, from blocks that will be used to make a dream house to items needed to make the necessary tools. Because of this, there isn’t enough room in a player’s inventory to carry everything that can be collected as you roam the open world.
Fortunately, when players come to rest on their own Minecraft house, they can furnish an entire room to keep all their belongings neat and organized. However, building a storage space isn’t as easy as it sounds, so there are a few things to keep in mind when building a space for all your precious possessions.
7 Have a lot of space for chests
If you play in a world for a long time, over time there will be enough resources that old chest setups in a house will fill up and then it will be necessary to expand to fit a few more items in it . To save some trouble, a storage space should be quite large.
It’s okay to make a lot of chests, even if they’re left empty for a while. It is more likely than not that they will be needed in the future. In the early days of a storage space, it will be much easier to put everything in one chest and then slowly sort items into the different empty chests.
6 Don’t make it easily accessible
A storage unit is nice to have on hand, but given the chance that very rare and valuable items will be placed in it, it needs considerable protection. If you’re playing on a single player world, it shouldn’t be such a big deal. The best thing you can do is light up the area so that mobs don’t spawn and possibly put a door that mobs can’t easily get through.
Multiplayer worlds are a bit trickier. Using redstone can be a good way to keep players out, especially in a world where protected plots make it impossible to use an outside device. If not, hide the room behind walls so it’s not easily found and possibly mugged.
5 Section by type, not just individual items
Keeping track of where all the items are can be a challenge, but a storage area allows players to arrange chests so that they know where to look when looking for a specific item. Since it would be a lot to dedicate one chest to just one item, it can be smart to segment by type.
For example, players can create one corner of chests that is dedicated only to building blocks, while another corner is dedicated only to different plants. It can be tempting to dedicate a chest solely to diamonds, but if players don’t find enough to fill a double chest, it may be best to have a chest dedicated to ores instead.
4 Item frames label
By structuring a storage area in a specific way, players can try to plan which items will go into which areas. However, there’s always a chance that, even after spending so much time sorting, players won’t remember where an item ended up.
The easiest way to solve this is to add a label to a chest or series of chests. However, characters don’t really stand out unless players add a font color. An easier way to label containers is to place an item frame on or above them. In this way, players can display an item that may be in the chest so that they immediately see where to look.
3 Shulker boxes help consolidate storage
Even with some warning that building a massive storage space is necessary, it’s hard to prepare for the sheer amount of items that can be collected in a short amount of time. And after a while, dealing with one-room storage can be a nuisance.
One way to consolidate a ton of items is to buy Shulker Shells from The End to create a Shulker Box. These boxes have as much space as a single box and can be placed in other boxes. It can even be on the go with the player, which is good if you’re trying to build something outside the storage area.
2 Leave room for utility blocks
While storage boxes will form the core of a storage area, there are a handful of other blocks that players should consider placing there. This includes utility blocks such as a craft bench, loom, forging table, and more.
Not only are all of these helpful tools to exist in the game, but they are also helpful when trying to consolidate items into chests. Creating and combining objects frees up space in a storage space, and players don’t have to worry about keeping newly created items in their inventory as the storage space is readily available.
1 Use Redstone to create an automatic sorter
Organizing can be soothing for some and frustrating for others. But those who have a background in producing redstone structures may want to look into building an automatic item sorter. These systems tend to use a lot of hoppers when transporting blocks.
In general, a single sorter is easy to make, but can be a bit difficult to build for an entire storage unit. It can work best when creating sorting systems for specific areas of the room, meaning players still need to place items in their appropriate category. It’s worth using online resources to find out which item sorter works best for the situation.
Minecraft is available to play on Windows, Mac, Nintendo, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
