Stash Bell

Back from the mine? Ring once.

Stash Bell turns an ordinary Minecraft bell into the last stop on your mining trip. Ring it beside your storage and common materials from your backpack top up the matching stacks in your marked barrels. Green sparks show which barrels took items, and the action bar tells you how many moved.

Build your first drop-off station

1. Place a bell and a barrel. Leave a starter stack of a material you collect often, such as cobblestone, in the barrel.
2. Mark the barrel. Stand a few blocks away, aim at it, and run /trigger stash_bell. The action bar confirms the mark. Use the same command while aiming at it to unmark it.
3. Ring to unload. Stand within seven blocks of your marked barrels and right-click the bell. Each barrel that receives items lights up with green particles.

See the difference in one ring

Leave 48 cobblestone in a marked barrel and carry 25 in your main inventory. Ring once and the barrel reaches 64, with nine left in your backpack. A second barrel can accept raw iron on the same ring. Keep a building stack in your hotbar and carry diamonds through the workshop even if you have no diamond barrel.

How sorting works

• Tops up identical, partly filled stacks in up to eight nearby eligible barrels, closest first.
• Supports common plain materials such as stone, gravel, sand, coal, raw metals, ingots, logs, planks and selected crops.
• Leaves unmatched items, custom stacks, and everything in your hotbar, armor and offhand in place.
• Marks belong to the player who made them. Locked and unopened loot barrels are skipped. Unmark a barrel before moving or repurposing it, since marks are tied to block positions.
