I’m running a totem farm in Minecraft, but my setup with a single double chest is being overwhelmed after just a couple of raids. Is there a way to incorporate additional chests to improve my storage capacity?

To increase your storage capacity, you can use a series of hoppers and chests arranged in a way that can be expanded as needed. You have two main options: stacked storage or chained storage. In stacked storage, you align double chests vertically and place hoppers above each chest. This way, items will flow down to the bottom chest first and fill upwards. In chained storage, chests are arranged in staggered fashion like bricks and connected with hoppers. This allows items to move horizontally and refills chests for you when you take something out. Personally, I like the chained method as it auto-fills the gaps when items are taken out. Choose the style that best fits your space and style!
If you’re looking to expand your storage, a simple solution is to extend your hopper system so it leads to multiple chests. You can arrange the chests in various formats, like a straight line or stairs, and connect them with hoppers accordingly. I once set mine sideways so each hopper feeds into the next chest horizontally, making it easier for me to craft additional space if necessary. However, be warned, working with hoppers might require some patience!
Thank you so much for this detailed route! I’ll most likely go for the chained method because it sounds super efficient for constantly accessed setups. Cheers!
