Guide:Inventory management

Because of the constant acquisition of items in Terraria, inventory space quickly fills up. A few ways to help keep your inventory clean are to:
 * Discard low-value, easily-acquired blocks you don't need, such as Dirt Blocks and Stone Blocks.
 * Improve your idea of what to keep and what to discard or sell by reading the guide on making money.
 * Make use of chests or other storage items that you can craft or find. Place them in your home and regularly deposit any items you won't be using soon. One option is to make a separate storage area, with several levels of chests. Using signs to help organize the storage area is helpful.
 * If you don't wish to clutter your living space with lots of chests, create a new world and name it something like "Storage World". The size of this world doesn't really matter, since any world will provide you with ample space to place your chests. Simply put them near the spawn point and make a visit whenever you need to store or take any items from there.

Tips

 * When you find a chest and you have an open slot in your inventory, pick it up and take it home with you. To pick up a chest, you need to loot it first and break it with a hammer.
