Guide:Inventory management

A few ways to help keep your inventory clean are:
 * Throw away or sell anything that you don't need, such as dirt and stone. You can also throw away items that are unlikely to be of any use in the future, but you would need to plan ahead. For a better idea on what to keep and what to discard, see 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 offload any items you can't immediately use. Keep them better organized by placing signs.
 * 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.
 * You could also make use of the Floating Islands, as they come with a room and a locked chest, but keep in mind that you'll need a Golden Key.

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.
