For some reason not enough people use ender chests and it doesnt make sense to me. Like bro u have 27 fully safe shulker boxes in there that u cant lose. I for one have 1 firework shulker, 1 armor shulker, 1 gear shulker, 1 food shulker, 1 stick and coal block shulker cuz i need torches in the most random times and sticks are useful. And then everything else is just junk i place in there. Like i have a storage system where i just pull out all 22 junk shulkers and completely empty them and then im free to have 22×27 deportable slots that i cant lose. I also used to fly in the nether with iron armor and elytra. If i find a bastion i pul out my ender chest and get my gear if i die cuz i cant fly in the nether i only lost 1 diamond-netherite pick and an elytra
Forget sticks and torches, make a frog light farm. Then you have block lights. Or a guardian farm if you’re on bedrock. Sea lanterns.
