Thus, you should be aware of what items are the most essential to keep with you. Now you might be thinking that is there any way to increase the inventory size then the answer is Yes, there is. You can solve this problem in an instant by using a barrel that can be used to store additional items up to 27, the same as the chest. Both have the same purpose of storing valuable items, but you can’t access a chest if there is any block on top of it whereas you can still access a barrel easily. That’s why barrel is recommended and is a core topic of this article.
