Trivia

 * The Beta 1.4_01 update made locked chest destroyable with one hit. If not destroyed, they would despawn, like leaves.
 * Locked chests are a reference to the Mann Co. Supply Crates from Team Fortress 2, where a key must be purchased for $2.49 in the in-game shop called Mann Co. Store in order to open the crate.
 * The store page uses the font tf2build.ttf from Team Fortress 2. The font is downloadable from here.
 * Clicking on the proceed to checkout button triggers a screamer in which a Velociraptor from the movie Jurassic Park will growl loudly and fly across the screen.
 * Entering items totaling over $10,000 into the cart causes a window pop-up asking if you are prone to seizures. Entering OK makes the screen start flashing. When first released, there was no seizure warning label, Notch later implemented it to avoid lawsuits and posts on the forum.
 * This may have been what Notch was talking about in his Twitter post about a "silly secret project".
 * Locked chests could generate in mid air or in the tops of trees.
 * It is more cost efficient to buy five Steve Co. Supply Crate keys than it is to buy a five pack, with a $3.00 difference.
 * If destroyed by TNT and collected, locked chests can be used as fuel in a Furnace like normal chests. They burn for 15 seconds each.
 * Locked chests could be placed next to each other to form a 2 block long chest like normal chests do. These two chests are still however "locked".
 * On April 2nd (the day following April Fools), the store had the addition of a multicolored banner which read '♥ April Fools! ♥', accompanied by a midi instrumental of Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up'. Tobias Mollstam stated that this was "the best script he's written to date".
 * Any locked chests previously loaded (naturally) will be gone. This means that if you found a chest after Beta 1.4, but before Beta 1.4_01, it will be gone. Any locked chests that were placed by players, such as those on multiplayer servers, have no function, other than providing light, and if left clicked will just despawn.
 * The server console outputs "added a chest!" each time a chest was generated.
 * Though in 1.8 the normal chest was given a new model, the locked chest remains the same.
