One of the main things to do is to come up with a few general categories for every item and block. Once you have completed your storage rooms, you'll want to be consistent with your organizing across all the singleplayer and multiplayer worlds that you play on. Tools, armor, music discs, potions, and a few other things do not stack.If you have a lot of iron ingots, gold ingots, wheat, lapis lazuli, snowballs, redstone, emeralds, clay, diamonds, bone meal, dried kelp, or coal, craft them into their respective blocks to allow for more compact storage.Make them sit down if you let them into a storage room. Cats love to jump onto chests, which prevents the player from opening it.Don't forget to light up the room so mobs can't spawn inside. Make your storage facilities sturdy and impenetrable.If you are tight on space, you can put shulker boxes inside chests for more efficient storage, although looking for one in the End early on in the game is impractical.To place a sign or item frame on a chest, place it while sneaking. If you have room, you may want to place signs or item frames next to, above, or on the chests to label them and make categorizing easier.If you want single chests side-by-side without them combining into a large chest, then place them while sneaking to prevent them from joining.‌.You can place upside down stairs or half slabs to change this. Chests cannot open with a block on top (except transparent blocks like torches, glass, slabs, and other chests).If you are tight on space, you can embed some chests into the floor or make chest 'shelves'. Build a large room for all your chests.

Here are the basic steps for organizing everything into a good sense of order. Chests, shulker boxes and barrels are some of the most important blocks in the game. However, to progress further in the game, you eventually need to make storage rooms with categorized chests to store items. Early on in the game, one double chest can fit most of your items, such as wood, weapons, and tools.
