Containers are created items used to store smaller items, and can be used to organize. There are many different kinds of containers, and if used correctly, the type of container can represent what is inside. Here is a list of some of the different kinds of containers in Wurm:{| border=1|-|| || Capacity (kg) || Capacity (Items) || Tare Weight || Carry/Takeable? || Draggable || Holds Water?|-|| [[Satchel]] || || || || || |||-|| [[Backpack]] || || || || || |||-|| [[Pottery Jar]] || || || || || |||-|| [[Pottery Flask]] || || || || || |||-|| [[Pottery Bowl]] || || || || || |||-|| [[Small Barrel]] || || || || || |||-|| [[Large Barrel]] || || || 0.10kg || Yes || No || Yes|-|| [[Small Chest]] || || 100 || 5kg || Yes || No || No|-|| [[Large chest|Large Chest]] || || || || || |||-|| [[Bucket]] || || || || || |||-|| [[Stone Coffin]] || || || || || ||
For a list of containers, see [[:Category:Containers]]. == Container Comparison ==Containers have a weight, and hold a given volume of items. Some containers will not hold liquids and others only hold liquids. Some are mobile containers, others are stationary, and most can be carried in your inventory. Items are sorted by increasing volume.<br>{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" style="text-align:center;"!Container!Volume!Weight (kg)!liquids/dry goods!Movement!string of cloth!seeds!rags!Meat filets!Jars!Bowls!Cotton!Small barrels!Ore!24kg logs!felled trees|----|[[Bag of keeping]]|0.2|0.25|dry goods|inventory (no drop)|100|11|7|1|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|----|[[Pottery flask|Flask]]|0.25|0.1|both|inventory|100|13|9|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|----|[[Master bag of keeping]]|0.4|0.25|dry goods|inventory (no drop)|100|22|14|2|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|----|[[Jar]]|2.0|0.3|both|inventory|100|100|74|10|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|----|[[Frying pan]]|2.0|2.5|dry goods|inventory|100|100|74|10|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|----|[[Water skin]]|2.5|0.25|both|inventory|100|100|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|----|[[Quiver]]|?|0.2|dry goods|inventory|?|?|?|?|X|X|?|X|X|X|X|----|[[Sauce pan]]|2.54|1.50|both|inventory|100|100|94|12|1|X|X|X|X|X|X|----|[[Bowl]]|9.0|0.5|dry goods|inventory|100|100|100|45|4|X|X|X|X|X|X|----| [[Small Cartbucket]]|12|1.5|both|inventory|100|100|100|60|6|X|1|X|X|X|X|----|[[Satchel]] |18|0.5|dry goods| inventory|100|100| 100|90| 9|X| 2|X| X|X|X|----|[[Small barrel]]|45|2.0|both|inventory|100|100|100|100|23|5|5|X|X|X|X|----| [[Small Raftchest]] |45|5.0|dry goods|inventory| 100|100| 100|100| 23|5| 5|X| X|X|X|----|[[Cauldron]]|64|5.5|both|inventory|100|100|100|100|22|7|8|X|X|X|X|----| [[Stone OvenBackpack]] |75| 2.0|dry goods|inventory|100|100| 100|100| 38|8| 9|X| X|X|X|----|[[Large barrel]]|250|NA|both|stationary|100|100|100|?|?|?|?|5|?|?|?|----| [[Stone ForgeLarge chest]] |300|NA|dry goods|stationary| 100|100| 100|?| ?|?| ?|?| ?|?|?|----|[[Coffin]]|500|NA|dry goods|stationary|100|100|100|?|?|?|62|?|?|?|?|----| [[CauldronCampfire]] |?|NA|dry goods| stationary|100|100| 100|?| ?|?| ?|?| ?|?|?|----|[[Oven]]|?|NA|dry goods|stationary|100|100|100|?|?|?|?|?|?|?|?|----| [[Frying PanForge]] |?| NA|dry goods|stationary|100| 100|100| ?|?| ?|?|?| ?|?|?|----|[[Small raft]]|?|60|dry goods|dragging|100|100|100|?|?|?|?|?|?|9|2|----| [[Sauce PanSmall cart]] |756|NA|dry goods| dragging|100| 100|100| ?|?| ?|94| 16|?|9|2|----|[[Fountain]]|?|NA|both|stationary|100|100|100|?|?|?|?|?|?|?|?

Jars used to hold 1.94 kg instead of 2.00, but all such jars were destroyed in the cataclysm before Gold 2.
Volume denotes the number of kilograms (kgs) of a liquid -- usually water -- a container will hold. The weight attribute is the weight of the container itself, not the amount of weight it will hold. Items list their weight although when it comes to storing them inside containers it's their hidden volume attribute that is used. For example a cart will only hold 94kg of cotton, but that same cart will hold 1,400kg of bricks. This occurs because the cotton has significantly greater volume than bricks do. Unfortunately the volume of items are not displayed only their weights.
If a container contains a liquid, it cannot contain other items (solid or liquid). One exception is that water can be mixed with cooking ingredients, e.g. to make soup.
