As players spend more time in Minecraft, they'll gather several full stacks of materials. To better organize them in their base, they might need bigger chests.

Players can get a 54-slot chest in Minecraft - double the size of the standard chest - by placing two chests next to each other. This means they will have to craft two chests, place one of them, and then put the other one on the tile beside it, either on its left or right side - it won't work if it's put in front of it or behind it.
