Alternatively, trapped chests do not combine with normal chests.Ĭhests can be moved by pistons, and water and lava flow around chests without affecting them. A player can prevent this, and place two small chests side by side, by sneaking while placing the second chest, pushing a chest into place with a piston, or placing the second chest facing a different direction from the first chest. To place a chest, use the Place Block control on the face of a block adjacent to the space the chest should occupy.Ī chest placed adjacent to another chest joins to create a large chest (also known as a double chest). If one half of a large chest is destroyed, the corresponding items from the destroyed chest are dropped and the remaining half continues to function as a small chest.Ĭhests can be used as containers and as crafting ingredients. If the chest contains items, the items are also dropped when the chest is broken.


Chests always drop themselves when mined. A chest can be broken using anything, but an axe is the fastest.
