Shelves and Display Cases being used.

Containers are used to store items or liquids and come in a variety of different types. Stationary containers must be placed before use. Portable containers, also known as bags, increase inventory slots. Meal containers are related to meals and food. Liquid containers store liquids.

Liquid containers

Liquid containers provide a method of storing and transporting liquids, such as Water . Each type of container has a unique maximum capacity, which can be useful when a precise amount is required. Buckets, jugs, and bowls retain their liquid content when destroyed or picked up, which allows them to be used in grid crafting for recipes requiring liquids, such as Dough and alcohol-soaked bandages .

	Wooden bucket	10 Litres
	Bowl	1 Litre
	jug	3 Litres

Portable containers

See also Bag

Portable containers, also known as bags, add additional player inventory slots, accessible from the inventory. To expand player inventory, place a bag in one of the four hotbar slots with a basket icon. Each slot is independent, so different types of bags may be used simultaneously. The additional inventory slots will appear to the left of the crafting grid, in the same order as the bags in the hotbar. Bags can also be placed on the ground.

• Hand basket (3 slots)
• Hunter's backpack (4 slots)
• Linen sack (5 slots)
• Leather backpack (6 slots)
• Sturdy leather backpack (8 slots)

Additionally, several variants of specialized portable containers exist which are larger but only hold certain items.

• Mining bag (12 slots stones/ores/minerals/metals)
• Sturdy mining bag (14 slots stones/ores/minerals/metals)

Unequipping containers

When a container is removed from the extended inventory slots in the hotbar, the content inside will remain in the container. Only empty containers can be placed inside inventory slots. Be sure to move the content from the container before removing or sharing it.

Stacking placeable items

Some items such as metal ingots, planks, peat bricks, firewood can be stacked on solid blocks. This can be practical and decorative because stacked items are easier to locate compared to items in chests. Charcoal can also be stacked, but the blocks are gravity affected like sand. Also, molds, bowls, and pots may be placed on solid blocks.
