Vaults — `/vault`
Bank-style locker grid. Multiple private vaults per player, both count and size scale with rank.
Vaults are private storage lockers, opened from anywhere with /vault (alias /v). Unlike the ender chest, you have multiple vaults — picked from a selector menu — and the count grows with rank.
Vaults survive death. They're the best place for bulk private storage.
Open the selector
/vault/vault/v [number]numberoptional- vault index 1–15
/v/v 3The selector is a chest-style UI showing your vaults as a grid of icons. Click one to open. Vaults above your rank's count appear greyed out (locked).
Capacity by rank
| Visitor | Member | Citizen | Myth | Legend | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vault count | 1 | 3 | 6 | 9 | 15 |
| Rows per vault | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 6 |
| Total slots | 27 | 108 | 270 | 486 | 810 |
A Legend has more total storage than 30 standard double chests, all accessible from anywhere with no walking.
How to use vaults effectively
Sort by category
Treat each vault as a labeled drawer. A common pattern:
- Vault 1: ores & smelted bars
- Vault 2: building blocks (stone, wood, glass)
- Vault 3: food and brewing ingredients
- Vault 4: combat (potions, golden apples, totems, arrows)
- Vault 5: redstone & dust
- Vault 6: misc loot, mob drops
- Vault 7: enchanted books and bottles
- Vault 8: rare loot from structures
Set a custom icon per vault
In the selector, shift-click any vault while holding an item to change its icon to that item. Now spotting "vault 3 = food" is instant — vault 3's icon is bread or whatever you set.
Vaults persist across worlds
Open from the Overworld, Nether, or End — same contents. They follow your account, not your location.
Vaults vs ender chest vs pack
| Vaults | Ender chest | Pack | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open from anywhere | yes (/v) | yes (/ec) | yes (/bp) |
| Multiple containers | yes (1–15) | no (single) | no |
| Max total slots | 810 | 54 | 54 |
| Persists across worlds | yes | yes | yes |
| Survives death | yes | yes | no |
| Best for | bulk organized | quick irreplaceables | hot carry |
If your ender chest is filling up, that's the signal to move bulk to vaults and keep the ender chest for the very most-accessed items.
What you can't do with vaults
- Share vaults — vaults are personal. For shared storage, use linked chests or a locked vanilla chest at a shared base.
- Use a vault as a shop chest — vaults aren't world-blocks, so they can't be made into shops.
- Put down a "vault block" — vaults are inventory-only; there's no physical block representation.
Practical patterns
Migration day
When you rank up and unlock more vaults, take a "migration day" — open all your existing chests at base, sort everything into your new vault layout. You'll have an organized home base for the next 100 hours of play.
Inventory triage at base
Land at base, open /v, dump loot from your trip into the appropriate categorized vaults. Everything goes where it belongs in 30 seconds. Your inventory is cleared for the next trip.
Long-term archive
Vault 15 (or your highest) often becomes the "archive" — quest items, sentimental builds, books from old projects. Things you don't want to throw away but don't need every session.
