Stardew Valley’s Update 1.6 introduces plenty of fresh new content that focuses on quality-of-life improvements in hopes of making your farm life even more delightful. Developer ConcernedApe has keenly listened to the requests of Stardew Valley fans and added a new storage item called the Big Chest.
The Big Chest is a game-changer for players who like to hoard every resource they come across. While the regular chests have a maximum capacity of 36 items, the Big Chest features70 storage slots and can store almost twice as many items as a regular one. With more storage space in a single chest, you can organize your items more efficiently and free up valuable space on your farm.

How To Get The Crafting Recipe For Big Chest
Like some other items in the game, before you can craft a Big Chest in Stardew Valley, you will need to purchase the crafting recipe for it. This recipe is sold by the town’s carpenter, Robin, and costs 5,000 gold coins.
Robin can be found at the Carpenter’s Shop, situated north of the Community Center. The shop is open from 9 AM to 5 PM every day except Tuesdays and closes around 4 PM on Fridays.
The Big Chest crafting recipe is only available in Robin’s Shop if you’ve updated to the latest version of Stardew Valley , Version 1.6.
How To Craft A Big Chest In Stardew Valley
To craft a Big Chest in Stardew Valley, you will need the following materials.
- 120 Wood
- 2 Copper Bars
Wood can easily be obtained by chopping down trees using an Axe, whereas Copper Bars can be smelted from Copper Ore inside a Furnace. Copper Ore can be obtained by breaking copper nodes in the mines using a Pickaxe. Alternatively, players can also purchase Copper Ores from the Blacksmith.
One Copper Bar is prepared by smelting 5 Copper Ore using 1 piece of Coal as fuel. Each Copper Bar takes 30 minutes in-game time to make, which is about 22 seconds in real-time
Once you’ve gathered the required ingredients, simply navigate to the Crafting tab (denoted by a hammer icon) in the Menu, and click on the Big Chest icon to craft it. These chests can also be color-graded to categorize items and help you manage your inventory efficiently while keeping the farm looking neater.
