Chest

Chests are blocks that were introduced in one of the many versions of Indev labeled as "0.31".

A single chest can store up to 27 stacks of Items or Blocks. When two chest blocks are placed next to each other, they form a large chest and storage capacity is doubled to 54. No more chests can be placed next to a large chest. If a block is placed on top of a chest, it can't be opened. Chests can also be placed in a 1x1 or 1x2 hole in the floor.

A chest has 3 texture faces - one on the top and bottom, one on the front, and one on the other remaining sides.

If a chest block containing items is destroyed, its items will also be dropped. In Alpha multiplayer, items dropped from a destroyed chest block might not be able to be picked up.

Chests are available in Indev, Infdev and Alpha, the only modes currently to actually support stacks of resources.

Chests can be found in Dungeons holding some random loot. However, the chest is guarded by a Mob Spawner.



Crafting
A chest's only crafting use is to make a Storage Minecart.
