Frequently asked questions

How do I get started with Sophisticated Storage?
Craft a basic Chest or Barrel first, then place it and right-click to open it. From there, craft the tier upgrade items to move your storage up through Copper, Iron, Gold, Diamond, and Netherite. Upgrade modules like Filter, Compacting, and Smelting slot into the upgrade panel inside the storage GUI.
How do I upgrade a Sophisticated Storage chest to the next tier?
Open the chest or barrel, place the matching tier upgrade item (like Basic to Copper Tier Upgrade) into the upgrade slot, and it converts in place while keeping its contents. You can also use the Storage Tool to upgrade blocks directly.
How does the Storage Controller work?
Place a Storage Controller and connect nearby Sophisticated Storage blocks to it using Storage Connectors. The controller then exposes every linked inventory as one combined interface, so you can pull from or push to the whole network at once.
What is Storage I/O used for?
Storage I/O acts as an input/output endpoint for your Storage Controller network, letting hoppers, pipes, or other automation insert and extract items from the whole connected storage. Point your automation at the I/O block instead of individual chests.
