Locked chest

Locked Chests (also known as Steve Co. Supply Crate) have been added with Minecraft Beta 1.4. Clicking on the chest will bring you in the screen shown on the bottom. Clicking on "Go to Store" will forward you to the Minecraft Store. At the minecraft store, when the total price of your products exceed 10000 dollars, the site will start to flicker. The chests emit light at level 15 and are indestructible by hand or with a tool, but can be destroyed with 1 piece of TNT, see how it looks like here. They may be an April Fools Day joke.

Trivia

 * Locked chests are a pun of 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.
 * Locked chests are indestructible by hand, but can be destroyed with one piece of TNT
 * When you go on the Minecraft store website and click proceed to checkout, a screamer occurs when a dinosaur jumps out of the bottom of the page, making a growling noise and flying off the screen showing that this is indeed an April Fool's Joke.
 * Entering 10,000 Dollars into the cart makes the screen start flashing.

History

 * Locked Chests were introduced in Beta 1.4.
