Ender Chest

Ender chests are a type of chest that can store items, and whose contents can be accessed from anywhere in the world.

Natural generation
An ender chest naturally generates alongside a chest in certain end city treasure rooms.

Breaking
Ender chests require a pickaxe to be mined. Otherwise, they drop nothing. Unless the pickaxe is enchanted with Silk Touch, the ender chest drops 8 obsidian. Any pickaxe allows the ender chest to drop either itself or 8 obsidian, despite it being made up mostly of obsidian; this has been confirmed by Mojang to be intentional.

Block loot
Ender chests can be reclaimed only by mining them using a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch, or it drops 8 blocks of obsidian if mined with a regular pickaxe. If it is mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Usage
Ender chests can be opened by pressing the control. If a solid block is placed above an ender chest, it cannot open.

Ender chests can be used like normal chests, except all ender chests in the world are interconnected, including in different dimensions. The ender chest's inventory is also separate for each player; consequently, items stored in an ender chest cannot be seen or taken by other players. Also, items stored inside of an ender chest can be retained even if the player dies.

Ender chests contain 27 slots for storage and can be placed next to other ender chests without joining; they cannot be combined into double chests.

Ender chests cannot be moved by pistons and do not interact with hoppers, droppers, or comparators.

Ender chests emit a light level of 7.

Despite being comprised largely of obsidian, they are not immune to destruction by the ender dragon, which Mojang has confirmed to be intentional.

Piglins
Piglins become hostile toward players who open or mine an ender chest.

Trivia

 * An ender chest's particles exist only in the 1 block radius around the chest, so if the chest is placed next to a wall its particles are not seen on the other side.
 * Unlike chests, changes to an ender chest's name are not reflected in its inventory GUI.
 * Unlike chests, when broken, it does not drop the items inside it, due to the fact that the items aren't only in that chest.
 * If all ender chests are broken, the items inside are inaccessible until a new ender chest is placed.
 * Ender chests render as a full block when in the inventory, but not when held or placed.
