How to organize your inventory

What should you put in your inventory, including ender chest and shulker boxes? This tutorial will explain how to organize for any Minecraft occasion!

The first box we’ll peek into is: Mining shulker box

It’s good to keep your mining shulker box full of space for collecting blocks. Alotting space for the ores you collect is a good idea when organizing shulker boxes. Use kelp blocks as a fuel source because they can smelt 20 items per kelp block, compared to say, 8 items per coal.

iron ore
gold ore
lapis lazuli ore
emerald ore
coal ore
diamond ore
redstone ore
dried kelp block

The next boxes we’ll look at are: Enchanting I & II shulker boxes

The list to the right contains only the enchanted books I actually use, along with inventory space for extra enchanted items.
