Wans Storage Shelves FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I craft a storage shelf?
Craft a shelf using wooden planks from any vanilla wood type arranged in the crafting grid. The exact recipe depends on your mod version, but you'll need enough planks to form a shelf-like shape. Once crafted, place it in your storage room and you're ready to add boxes.
What's the difference between small and large
cardboard boxes?
Small boxes hold fewer items and can be stacked up to three per shelf, while a large box takes up an entire shelf but holds more total storage slots. Choose small boxes if you want to organize multiple item types on one shelf, or use a large box for bulk storage.
Can I stack boxes on the ground without a shelf?
Yes, you can place
cardboard boxes directly on the ground without using a shelf at all. This is useful if you want a more compact storage setup or prefer not to build shelf structures.

Cardboard boxes store items like any standard container, so they work with items from other mods just as they do with vanilla items.Can I break a shelf and keep the boxes and items inside?
Breaking a shelf will drop the boxes placed on it, and breaking a box will drop its contents, so your items won't be lost—just make sure to collect them.
