Minecraft storage system

 People have been making storage systems for years. But there is only really one. Why is that? It just works, this one is simple enough to make the only limiting factor is iron but at this point in minecraft who are we kidding, you have an iron farm already. If you dont you will soon. Follow this simple tutorial you can have an infinitely expandable system. 

Step 1, is simple enough find the space for it for this I'm going to show it all in a super flat world to make it easier for you to follow 

Step 2, The first layers are just chests and hoppers. I am making his one 5 chests high but you could make yours as little as 1 chest or go all the way to world height

There is 2 ways to place the chest way one is with all the hoppers in the back, this is ok but once the bottom chest is empty its empty till more items are added

The second way is alternating the chests and hoppers

This is better because items will always flow down keeping the bottom chests full so you never have to look for items. For this i am going to be showing both because I can 

Step 3, Now we start the redstone. DON'T BE SCARED its super easy

First, is a layer of hoppers over the storage chests facing away from the main storage chests 

Second, is a row of block with torches on them later when a block is placed on top of the torch it will lock the hopper allowing up to sort the items out

Third, we need a repeater behind the torch. This it to turn the torch on and off but not effect the ones next to it

Forth, we can now but the rest of the solid blocks in

Fifth, we add comparators in to read the hoppers 

Last we add in the redstone and that is it for this redstone part 

Step 3, time for the water streams to move the items around

Ice is used in between each module to keep the items moving. A upside down half slab is used over the ice to keep the from popping up out of the water streams 

Step 4, name a ton of random item Filler. I use cobble stone or bamboo as they are easy to get a lot of

Then 4 Filler items go in to each hopper in the 

Step 5, take at least 1 of each item you want to store and put it in the open hopper slot

You can put more than 1 in but if you put more than 41 items in it will let the items flow through and only keep 41 in the hopper. You can use the auto loader in the next step to fill the system with items but this causes more problems so just put them in yourself. At this point it is ready to go but with the auto loader you can dump the items in a chest and carry on or put a shulker on top and it will auto unload it 

Optional Step 6. The autoloader a simple dropper and comparator clock to spit the item out into the water stream 

Load the chest with items and congrats you now have an automatic storage system. It is not overflow protected but you could do that by adding a regular hopper and chest to the end to collect any items not in the system or if for some reason some do not get stored or they are full
