Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to common questions about how the Storage Catalog works and how to get help.
Where can I find a storage system?
You can find storage system designs in the Full Systems category of the archive. If you need something specific, use the search and filters to narrow down what you need.
What is the best storage design?
There is no single 'best' design, the optimal storage system depends on your specific needs. The archive includes a variety of designs with different trade-offs to suit different use cases. Choose what works best for you, and feel free to ask for recommendations in the Discord community!
What is a Litematic file? How do I open it?
Litematic is a popular schematic format for Minecraft Java Edition. You can open Litematic files with the Litematica mod, which allows you to view and load schematics in-game. It's available on both CurseForge and Modrinth.
Where can I ask for help with storage tech?
Join the Storage Catalog Discord for design help, troubleshooting, and feedback from community members and staff.
How do I design my own storage system?
Start by learning the basics of storage tech in the dictionary, then explore existing designs in the archive for inspiration. You can build your design in creative mode and share it with the community for feedback before submitting it to the archive.
How can I submit my own storage tech designs to the archive?
You can submit your designs through our Discord. Look for the #submissions channel and follow the instructions sent by the bot.
Can beginners use this site?
Yes. The site is designed for all skill levels, with beginner-friendly explanations in the dictionary and progressively advanced archive entries.
How often is the archive updated?
The archive is updated regularly as new designs are submitted and reviewed by the community. Check back often for the latest storage tech innovations!
Is there a way to browse the archive in-game?
Yes! You can use the Archive Downloader mod to browse and download storage designs directly in Minecraft. It's available on our Mods and Tools page.
Is Bedrock Edition supported?
No. The Storage Catalog focuses exclusively on Java Edition storage tech, as the mechanics and available designs differ significantly from Bedrock Edition. In Bedrock Edition, redstone mechanics are more unpredictable and many of the designs in the archive will not work. You may be able to find Bedrock-compatible designs in the Bedrock Storage Tech Discord linked below.
I want to use Storage Catalog data for my own projects, is there an API?
No API is necessary! All the data is available on our GitHub repository, which you can access through the link below. This website is built on top of that same data, so you can be confident that it's complete and up-to-date.
How can I contribute to the project?
Contributions are welcome! You can contribute by submitting storage tech designs, providing feedback in the Discord, or contributing code and improvements to the Llama Collective, a group of volunteers who maintain archive infrastructure and build community tools.
