Villages Alive Storage House

Quickstart

1. Open your Creative inventory and find the Villages Alive Storage House Placer block (under the Construction tab).
2. Face the cardinal direction you want the front door to face.
3. Place the block anywhere. A 40×20 stone-brick Storage House instantly constructs itself 10 blocks ahead of you, with the front door oriented toward your facing direction.
4. About 5 seconds later, Courier Carl appears 5 blocks in front of the door — your personal automated courier.
5. Grab the Courier Carl Chest Pickup Marker from the Creative inventory (Items tab).
6. Use the Marker on any chest in your world to queue it for pickup. Carl will visit it, collect everything, and sort it into the Storage House.

Overview

Villages Alive Storage House drops a fully built warehouse into your world on demand and staffs it with Courier Carl, a custom human courier who automatically ferries items from chests you designate back to the Storage House, where he sorts them into organized double-chest storage. Everything — the building layout, Carl's sorting logic, and the pickup order — is deterministic and persistent across sessions.

How To Use

Placing the Storage House

Face the direction you want the door. Place the Storage House Placer block on the ground. The house builds instantly, rotated so its front door faces the direction you were looking. The placer block itself can be mined back with a pickaxe.

You can have up to 24 Storage Houses tracked per world at a time.

Courier Carl

Carl spawns outside the front door roughly 5 seconds after construction completes. He:

• Wanders near the Storage House and looks at nearby players.
• Cannot be damaged or pushed.
• Drops nothing when killed (though he is persistent and will not despawn normally).
• Always carries a filled map in his hand.

Marking Chests for Pickup

Hold the Courier Carl Chest Pickup Marker and use it (right-click / interact) on any supported chest in your world. You will receive a chat message confirming the chest's coordinates and its position in the queue, for example:

Courier Carl pickup marked: 120, 64, -45. Queue position 1.

If you try to mark a chest that is already queued, you will see:

That chest is already in Courier Carl's pickup queue.

Marks are saved persistently — they survive logging out and reloading the world.

Abilities And Mechanics

Pickup Queue

Marked chests are stored in a first-in, first-out queue. Carl services them in the exact order they were marked. No chest is skipped or duplicated. When Carl services a chest he:

1. Teleports instantly to the chest location.
2. Waits 2 seconds and collects all contents.
3. Teleports back inside the Storage House.
4. Deposits items into the appropriate storage chests.

Item Sorting Categories

Carl groups items by category and fills dedicated chest zones in a fixed order. Sorting is stable — items always go to the same zone. Categories include:

Storage Chest Layout

Inside the Storage House, double chests line the walls and form interior rows. Carl always fills from the far back-left chest first and prefers to merge into existing matching stacks before opening a new chest. This keeps the warehouse tidy and predictable.

Progression And Strategy

• Set up collection points at your mines, farms, or mob farms by placing chests there and marking them with the Pickup Marker. Carl will drain them automatically on his service cycle.
• Mark chests in the order you want them serviced — the queue is strictly FIFO, so your highest-priority chests should be marked first.
• The Storage House is large (40×20) — give it a flat area with room to spare. Face a cardinal direction before placing so the door opens to a convenient path.
• Because sorting is deterministic, you can plan around Carl's category zones: put item frames on the chests you expect to fill first so you always know where to find things.
• Carl is immune to all damage and ignores mobs, so he is safe in any environment — no need to light or protect the area around your pickup chests.
