Large Storage Hall
A well-organized storage hall with labeled double chests along both walls, item frames for identification, and enough space for 54 double chests (2,916 stacks).
Overview
The Large Storage Hall is a storage build whose job is holding, sorting and quickly retrieving large quantities of items; form follows function here, so the layout is dictated by how it works rather than by looks. At 15x6x25 blocks (15 wide, 6 tall and 25 deep) it is moderately sized, covering a 375-block footprint on the ground.
It is rated intermediate: nothing here is exotic, but you will need a steady supply of materials and a little patience with shaping, depth and interior detail to make it look right. Following the 20 steps below, plan for about 60-90 min. A core survival build; the Large Storage Hall costs mostly wood and iron, and keeping it tidy saves hours of digging through unlabelled chests.
The bulk of the work is the 256 stone bricks that form the main body, alongside 6 different materials in total (about 542 blocks and items all told). Lighting comes from lantern, which both finishes the look and stops mobs spawning in or on the build.
Materials Needed
Gather the 256 stone bricks first, since it is the most-used block; the remaining 5 materials are accents and fittings used in smaller amounts. Mine roughly 10-15% extra of the main block to cover mistakes and a few decorative changes on a build this size. Quantities are sized for the dimensions shown, so scale them up proportionally if you build a larger version.

Step-by-Step Overview
A high-level construction order for the Large Storage Hall, from the ground up. Each phase below covers several of the 20 in-game steps.
- 1Decide how many item types the Large Storage Hall must hold, then mark out the 15x25 grid so the rows of containers line up cleanly.
- 2Place the chests or barrels of the Large Storage Hall in even rows with a walkway, leaving a block behind each for the hopper that feeds it.
- 3Label each container in the Large Storage Hall with item frames or signs so you can find anything at a glance.
- 4Add a single drop-off chest feeding the Large Storage Hall so handling stored items starts the moment you dump loot in.
- 5Light and decorate the room, then stress-test the Large Storage Hall by tossing in a mixed double-chest and watching everything land where it should.
Build Tips
- 1Use glow item frames for visibility in darker areas.
- 2Color-code sections with colored concrete behind chests.
- 3Leave room between rows for comfortable walking.
- 4Place most-used chests near the entrance.
Tips & Variations
Keep mobs out by spacing your lantern so no floor tile or nearby surface in the Large Storage Hall sits below light level 1; a single dark corner is all it takes for something to spawn inside.
To resize the Large Storage Hall, keep its 15x25 proportions and grow both axes together; stretching one direction alone tends to make it look thin. A half-size or double-size version both work as long as you scale the 542-block material list to match.
For a different look, swap the stone brick in the Large Storage Hall for another palette that fits your biome: the shape stays identical, but the colour and texture of the main block changes the whole feel of it.
The most common mistake on the Large Storage Hall is a leak in the collection path; trace it and confirm every hopper, water flow or drop chute actually feeds the chest before you leave it producing stored items unattended.
Frequently Asked Questions
How hard is the Large Storage Hall build?
It is rated intermediate: nothing here is exotic, but you will need a steady supply of materials and a little patience with shaping, depth and interior detail to make it look right. It is laid out in 20 steps and takes about 60-90 min to finish.
What blocks do you need for the Large Storage Hall?
The main block is stone bricks (around 256), and the full list runs to 6 materials — mostly stone bricks, chest and item frame. Altogether that is roughly 542 blocks and items; the complete table with exact counts is above.
How big is the Large Storage Hall?
It measures 15x6x25 blocks — 15 wide, 6 tall and 25 deep — which is moderately sized and takes up a 375-block footprint. You can shrink or enlarge it by keeping those proportions.
Is the Large Storage Hall survival-friendly?
A core survival build; the Large Storage Hall costs mostly wood and iron, and keeping it tidy saves hours of digging through unlabelled chests.
Does the Large Storage Hall work on its own once built?
Largely, yes — after setup the Large Storage Hall keeps producing stored items as long as you are within simulation range; just check the collection chest now and then and top up anything it consumes.
What makes the Large Storage Hall different from similar builds?
It is best understood through its focus on storage, organization and chests. Those traits drive the material list and layout described above, and are what set this storage build apart from a generic stored items build.
