Minecraft Base Plan
Storage system - 4 wings of storage

Contents:
Organic resources like crops, seeds, animal products (meat, wool, leather).
Raw resources from animals and environment (fish, leather, dyes, raw meat).
Farming tools like hoes, buckets, and fishing rods.
This pairing makes sense because these professions focus on producing and gathering raw materials. It centralizes all basic resources that are either grown, gathered, or harvested.

This setup is ideal for professions that specialize in the production and crafting of items. It organizes all functional and building materials needed for equipment and construction projects.

Contents:
Enchanting materials (books, enchanted books, lapis lazuli, brewing materials).
Maps, compasses, potions, and cleric-related items.

This pairing keeps all mystical, knowledge-based, and enchanted items in one place, making it easy to access items related to enchantments, potions, and exploration.

Professions: Utility & Support Professions (Fletcher, Leatherworker)
Contents:
Archery-related items (bows, arrows, string, flint).
