Ender Chest

Ender Chests are a type of chest that can store items.

Obtaining
Ender Chests can only be obtained by mining them using a pickaxe enchanted with silk touch, or it will drop 8 blocks of obsidian.

Usage

 * Since items persist, even when all Ender Chests are broken, the player can use them to recover items from anywhere safely, even if they destroy the chest.
 * Ender Chests can be very useful in Survival or Hardcore if the player is able to obtain the resources required to make one. At the cost of one inventory slot for the chest, the player gains another 27 extra slots, for a net gain of 26, adding up to a total inventory space of 62 different stacks you can carry.
 * If placed in a new cave or mine, they can safely stash ores or valuables as those are acquired.
 * Ender Chests cannot be moved by pistons.
 * Ender chests work between dimensions. This can be useful for carrying large inventories or valuables to or from the Nether or the End.
 * In SMP, Ender Chests can be used as banks or "safe deposit boxes". When placed in towns and bases, they will allow players to retrieve their items without risk of theft, "mugging", or griefing. They are commonly placed in spawn points.
 * An empty Ender Chest can be a useful last resort if you get hopelessly trapped or lost while exploring. Place the chest, load your inventory into it, then kill yourself. Using another Chest at home, whether already existing or newly crafted, this method will let you salvage most or all of your items.
 * Ender Chest contents do not interact with Hoppers, Droppers or Command Blocks

Trivia

 * If one was to place an Ender Chest, deposit items, then destroy it, they could easily use the chest as a method of safe transport of valuable items such as diamond and emerald gems, however the user needs either an Silk Touch enchanted pick or more Eyes of Ender (as well as a crafting table) to make this an effective method of transporting items for such reasons.
 * An Ender Chest's particles exist only in a 1-block radius, so if the Chest is placed next to a wall its particles will not be seen on the other side.
 * Unlike Chests, changes to an Ender Chest's name are not reflected in its inventory GUI.
 * Like the Flower Pot and Item Frame, its idea was suggested by a reddit post.
