Minecraft chests are blocks that allow you to store collected items.
Steps
Method 1 of 6: Making a Simple Chest
A simple chest can hold up to 27 piles of things or blocks, which means it can hold up to 1728 blocks!
Step 1. Obtain eight wooden planks
Step 2. Place the boards on the crafting table
Use the chest recipe to create a chest. Put boards in every slot except the middle one.
Step 3. Place the chest
Always place the chest so that there is enough free space around it, otherwise you will not be able to open it!
Keep in mind that there are very few blocks that will not prevent the chest from opening if you place them on top of it. These are water, lava, leaves, cactus, glass, snow, stairs, cupcakes, bed, fence, another chest, torch, tables, sleepers and some others (translucent blocks)
Method 2 of 6: Creating a Large Chest
The large chest has 54 storage slots. It opens like a regular chest and has six rows of slots. It fits up to 3, 456 blocks.
Step 1. Make the chest in the same way as you did the simple chest described above
You cannot create a large chest.
Step 2. Place two regular chests next to each other
You now have a large chest.
Keep in mind that you cannot keep two large chests next to each other
Method 3 of 6: Creating a Trap Chest
It looks like a regular chest, but with a few differences. First, it gives a red stone every time it is opened. Secondly, it cannot be placed next to a regular chest.
Step 1. Get a simple chest
Step 2. Make a tension sensor
They can be crafted through the crafting table, place 1 plank over the stick and the stick over the iron ingot.
Step 3. Connect the tension gauge to the chest on the crafting table
This is a recipe without a form.
Keep in mind that you can place two trap chests next to each other to create a large chest
Method 4 of 6: Understanding the orientation of the chests
Step 1. Keep in mind that the chests are created with a compass orientation, which affects their position
- The top three rows in the chest correspond to the east or north blocks of the chest.
- The bottom three rows correspond to the west or south blocks of the chest.
- In the large chest, you can find items arranged south or east, depending on the orientation of the chest.
Method 5 of 6: Using your created chest
If this is your first time using the chest, here's what to do:
Step 1. Right click on the chest to open it
Step 2. Transferring items to the chest
Press shift and further, click on the subject. The item will go into the slot that is intended for it.
Step 3. Transferring items from the chest
As in the previous step, just press the shift key and select the item in the chest to come out of it.
- Left click to pick up all items from the slot. Left-click again to place all the items.
- By right clicking, you only take half of the items from the slot.
- Right click to place one item.
Step 4. To close the chest, just click on the inventory button, or on the ESC key
Method 6 of 6: Finding Chests
Step 1. Look for items in existing chests
The best place to find chests is in dungeons (but they are guarded), in NPC villages, abandoned mines, thickets, in temples, in the desert or in fortresses.
Advice
- The chests will face the player when you place them.
- On December 24 and 25, chests are like gifts.
- If the chest is destroyed, all items will drop out of it. You will need to collect them and put them in another chest. Keep in mind that only the floor of the chest breaks. The items from the broken chest will drop, and the rest of the chest will become a small chest and keep all of its items inside. You will need, as before, to collect all the dropped items.
