OverviewEdit

A Chest can store up to 27 stacks of items or blocks. A large chest can be created by placing two chest blocks adjacent to each other. Large chests have 54 storage slots and open as single chests with six rows of slots.

To open a chest, right-click on it. After opening a chest, items can be transferred to and from a player's inventory by dragging or shift-clicking on items. This will move the item to a free slot in the inventory and vice versa. Chests can not be opened if there is a block directly above it.

Chests occur naturally in dungeons and are often guarded by a monster spawner. In very rare instances, chests can also occur inside walls and under floors in dungeons. The contents of these chests are similar to those of normal un-hidden chests. Chests may also occour in a Stronghold. If so, they will be surrounded by stone brick slabs and stone brick monster eggs.

In multiplayer, Chests, as well as doors, can be locked so only certain people can open them by a plugin called Lockette. This allows you to keep diamonds and other expensive items safe. You can also put a sign on a chest to mark the chest as your property. In some multiplayer servers, the chest can be locked with a sign, a plugin or with a magical spell.
