Welcome, Readers!

If you’re encountering the frustrating issue of refined storage not showing items in your Minecraft world, you’re in the right place. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the various causes of this problem and provide step-by-step solutions to get your storage system up and running smoothly.

Missing or Damaged Cables

Check Cable Connections

Ensure that all storage devices are properly connected to the Refined Storage network. Loose or damaged cables can cause items to go missing or not appear in the system. Inspect each cable connection to identify any potential issues.

Replace Broken Cables

If you find any broken or damaged cables, replace them immediately. Use only cables specifically designed for Refined Storage to maintain optimal system performance.

Incomplete Crafting Grid

Check Crafting Patterns

Make sure that you have defined crafting patterns for the items you’re trying to store. Refined Storage cannot display items without a valid crafting pattern.

Add Missing Patterns

Add the missing crafting patterns to the Refined Storage configuration. Refer to the Refined Storage wiki for detailed instructions on how to create and import crafting patterns.

Network Overcrowding

Optimize Item Routing

Refined Storage networks can become overcrowded if too many items are being routed through them. This can lead to items being dropped or not shown in the system.

Increase Network Capacity

Increase the capacity of your Refined Storage network by adding more storage blocks or using faster networks. This will help alleviate the overcrowding and improve system performance.

Isolate Heavy Load Areas

Identify areas of your network that are experiencing high item traffic. Isolate these areas by creating separate networks or using dedicated storage devices for heavy-load areas.
