Enderdragon?
Can Jean the Enderdragon destroy these? 75.196.95.187 15:02, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * No, only Billiam the Enderdragon can. It's his secret move. 208.102.239.209 16:01, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Ha ha ha. Notch has named the Enderdragon Jean, and I was asking if the game's only boss mob can break these. No need for sarcasm. 50.125.28.236 16:59, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * EDIT: CONFIRMED. Jean can, oddly, destroy these. 50.125.28.236 17:57, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Multiplayer
Does anyone know how these chests react in smp? do they have different contents for each player, like the piggy bank in terraria, or do they have different slots for each player? --204.14.13.53 16:09, 24 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Every Ender Chest has the same contents for everyone. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 16:18, 24 May 2012 (UTC)


 * yeah just saw that on the page right after i posted that... too bad it makes the chest almost useless in multiplayer --173.67.190.20 19:19, 24 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Awesome, now two players can trade with each other when they're far away. Great feature. 2.218.21.243 12:45, 25 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Now ender chest has only the contents per player in multiplayer. New way to have exclusive protected items just for you! This was added in a later snapshot. 23:01, 5 July 2012


 * There are benefits (trade, contact), and drawbacks (griefing, stealing): see below "blessing in disguise"-type scenario (oh, and it doesn't have to be Game Chat, people use, to communicate); until the chests are trolled.  Yilante, 108.228.150.192 22:38, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Origin
Should it be noted that the Ender Chest was suggested by the user soapawake on reddit? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Alexjuuhh (Talk&#124;Contribs) 18:06, 24 May 2012. Please sign your posts with

About the mod.
Where does Jeb mention that he got the idea from a mod? Because I think this is just another act in the play "omg mojang steals all mods and never credits anyone!!11!11oneeleven". They don't. It's just that there are three billion mods out there, and if Jeb implemented crafting grass blocks with dirt and seeds for example, 300 people would say "omg but i made this mod u stole my idea!!". Do you see how stupid this is? --87.122.138.11 20:57, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Edit: This is all I could find. You can mention this. jeb_/status/205307552941088768 --87.122.138.11 21:00, 24 May 2012 (UTC)


 * These guys don`t get credit for maing it becaue the public suggests it. The SUGGESTER gets credit. Not the mod maker. 11:12, 5 July 2012

Portable Storage
I can see it now; no longer will peoples inventories be filled with junk, they will just have a Ender chest on them, and place there goodies in them, and recollect it and take it back out in their base. Portable inventory!!! ZeCraftyMiner 01:21, 25 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Or, just as likely, they'll put their ender chests in prominent places and use more than one. No need to keep collecting the one over and over, especially now that Silk Touch is required. --King Starscream 22:25, 14 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Portable storage with 1 less free slot. slot with silk touch pick. the rest is for your adventure. voila. It is like making lemonade while buying lemonade: 2x the amount at a price!

double Enderchests?
If there are double chests... Then wouldn't there be double enderchests?

pogoman122 12:39, 25 May 2012 (CTZ)


 * It's like that on purpose to balance the chests. Also how would it even work? If you place a single chest while also having a double chest, you won't be able to access half of the chest. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 18:11, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Intentionally Beneficial Drawback?
Maybe the reason the Chests are not player specific is to allow trade of the newly introduced emeralds. This could allow trading within online communities, and possibly even economies to come into being on large servers. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Kajoman (Talk&#124;Contribs) 03:10, 29 May 2012.

 * Yeah, and I'm gonna go look-up at the Multiplayer section of this "Talk," see what they think. One thing I can say here: Trading ideally is between a set-number of traders, at a time, whether it's 1-on-1 (most player trade, all NPC trade Unless multiple people can trade with the same NPC, and even the same things, at the same time..?), or multiple-on-1 (a "market" for a certain "stock," and /or "supply," of something).  IF people are "honest," then Yes you are right a group of online friends can in-theory then trade Anything MC via an Ender Chest system.  But in any case, Chat Will help-clarify the issue: of whether the "storage" is in fact for "Trading."  Yilante, June 8th, 2012 108.228.150.192 22:35, 8 June 2012 (UTC)


 * The Ender Chest is now per player items. That makes a transportable stock market that only you can access. 11:21, 5 July 2012

storage file
anybody knows in which file the content is stored? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.158.143.43 (Talk) 03:15, 29 May 2012. Please sign your posts with


 * ok, found it by myself, its in the level.dat so there should be one enderchest for every world, if you use multiworld in smp. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.158.143.43 (Talk) 03:20, 29 May 2012. Please sign your posts with

Clarification
"By default, each server has one persistent Ender Chest inventory. This means that the player can not create or find an Ender Chest utilizing a different inventory of items than another."

Can anyone explain that last sentence to me? It appears a bit pronoun-vague... Dangercrow 17:10, 1 June 2012 (UTC)


 * There is only one Ender Chest inventory for the entire server. There is no vanilla way to crease a second Ender Chest inventory. Hope that clears it up :D LightRod 5 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Try "a given," instead of "the" player, works for me (and see Theology XD ). Yilante, 108.228.150.192 22:41, 8 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Wrong! It is each inventory now per player.

Inside an ender chest
What would happen if you climbed inside an Ender Chest? #obviouslytrolling 121.210.141.176 08:21, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The smart-a** answer: that game doesn't let you. The creepy answer: imagine climbing into a box, only for the opening to immediately turn into a swirling vortex of multiple points in space simultaneously occupying the same area, with the end result being that the folds of space-time would trap you within the non-Euclidean confines of the chest until such time as someone pulled you out, leaving you in a black void of screaming silence if they never come.  Also, talk pages aren't forums.  Snoogins. --King Starscream 03:20, 6 June 2012 (UTC)


 * The anwer: imagine climbing into a world of infinite size. your items are in the very middle, connected to each an every single ender chest and player. it is completely dark but every item is completely clear and easy to see. You are in the space-time continium. every amount of time, which is all time yet no time, another persons items flicker everywhere yet nowhere. you are caught in the rift between life and death, yin and yang, ocean and moon, space and time, physical and spiritual wworlds, the brtidge between everything. the only way to gget out of the rift is if the world where there is no bridge, where the two forces made one force, opened its gateway, selecting what to put into the rit and what to remove from the rift. That is what would happen. ask if you don`t understand a part of it. -TexasMike10

Obsidian
It would seem that in SMP, Obsidian can't be transferred via Ender Chests. thought I'd note it. --68.126.184.18 07:50, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Creation of?
So I can't seem to craft the ender chest...is it SMP only? I followed the recipe given and it's not crafting it for me...anyone have a reason as to why, or possible help with this? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by JustAnotherPsyco (Talk&#124;Contribs) 23:25, 13 June 2012.

 * Are you using Snapshot 12w21a or later?frogjg2003 03:48, 14 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I downloaded the game maybe, three weeks ago, at most. So i should be using w/e is the latest. JustAnotherPsyco –The preceding undated comment was added on 04:10, 14 June 2012. Please sign your posts with


 * If you haven't installed a snapshot, you're probably using the last official release (1.2.5). Ender chests will be in the 1.3 release, but are currently only in development snapshots. -- Orthotope 07:01, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Alright....well, i don't really know anything about these "Snapshots". Could you enlighten me and how/where I'd download them? I'd really like my ender chest... –Preceding unsigned comment was added by JustAnotherPsyco (Talk&#124;Contribs) 07:13, 14 June 2012. Please sign your posts with


 * The installation process is not very well documented here on the wiki. See this post on the Mojang blog for a reasonably good explanation. -- Orthotope 07:58, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Minecraft Snapshot Week 24
What are everyone's opinions on the enderchests drawback? I myself would prefer something else, as eyes of ender are a bit tricky to gather. I can understand it for SMP, but in SSP, i don't see much point in it. A better drawback would be, to collect it, it requires a diamond pick, and takes as long to mine as obsidian. ZeCraftyMiner 15:31, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

I think the previous drawback was better, where a server had 1 inventory for everyone. Ender Eyes are too difficult to find. They've basically invented a new way of storage for the game and now they've ruined it 2.25.131.176 18:18, 14 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Eyes of Ender are replaceable. That level 30 triple enchanted diamond sword I had to put in the chest so I could jump off the side of The End to escape is not.  I'd rather have there be a cost for moving the chest (only without Silk Touch, which seriously isn't hard to get) than have other players take items I worked hard to craft. --King Starscream 22:13, 14 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Eyes of Ender ARE a renewable resource, but, I myself do not enjoy trips to the Nether and The End constantly for Blaze Rods and Ender Pearls. Having the Ender Chest drop as an item instead of 8 Obsidian does not stop you from saving valuables, and I would rather not carry a silk touch pick everywhere I go.

Ender chests as diaries
On multiplayer, ender chests are per person inventoy. mix that with written books and books with quills and you can make a diary.

What is it
Whatever you want it tt to be. like a calender or log.

Why use it
Only you can access it.

Minecart with ender chest
Will thre be one?

Chest. Then Ender chest. Nether chest?
The chest is an overworld chest. The ender chest is an ender chest. What's next? The nether chest as a nether chest? What will make it different from the others? Plase respond. - TexasMike10
 * It stores the data of who opened the chest, and if the opener isn't the saved name or player, it spawns a ghast. :P Funky3000 12:56, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * With the Ender chest now personal to each player, a Nether chest of some sort could fill the void of being common to all players and all locations. ---Jovet 10:24, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

multi-person chests.
It would be awesome it they made two chests, one that's player specific and one that's shared between all players, Have the default one created by recipe be the player-specific one, and then make another recipe which would take the player-specific chest and turn it into a shared chest (and make the recipe reversible). One anoying thing you run into on vanilla servers is when someone wants to borrow a lot of some simple resource like cobble or sand for building, it can take a long ass time to transport several inventories worth of an item to where you need it. 77.213.195.89 16:03, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Multiplayer
I think that the Enderchest can cause a HUGE problem for multiplayer servers...

Nether Chest
Notch or Jeb or whoever is running it these days should make a nether chest that is the same but on a different band so you can add different items.

It should be crafted using netherwart instead of eye of ender.
