A '''chest''' is a [[block]] used to store [[item]]s.

A '''large chest''' is the combination of two normal chests, and can store twice as many items.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
A chest can be broken using anything, but an [[axe]] is the fastest. Chests always drop themselves when mined. If the chest contains items, the items are also dropped when the chest is broken. If one half of a large chest is destroyed, the corresponding items from the destroyed chest are dropped and the remaining half continues to function as a small chest.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Chest|Axe|foot=1}}

=== Natural generation ===
{{see also|Chest loot}}

Chests generate naturally in all three dimensions. They generate in [[Monster Room|monster rooms]], [[stronghold]]s, [[Village|villages]], [[jungle temple]]s, [[desert temple]]s, [[nether fortress]]es, [[end cities]], [[igloo]]s, [[woodland mansion]]s, [[shipwreck]]s, [[ocean ruins]], [[buried treasure]], [[pillager outpost]]s, [[bastion remnant]]s, [[ruined portal]]s, and [[ancient cities]].

Large chests can occasionally generate in [[Monster Room|monster rooms]] by one single chest generating next to the other. They can also generate in certain types of [[bastion remnant]]s.

==== Bonus chest ====
{{main|Bonus chest}}
The bonus chest is a chest that appears near the player's spawn if the "Bonus chest" option is toggled on the [[main menu]]. It generates with a semi-random collection of basic items to help the player survive early on and gather necessary resources, including wood, tools, blocks, and food.

=== Crafting ===

 |Output=Chest
 |type=Decoration block
}}

== Usage ==
Chests can be used as containers and as crafting ingredients.

To place a chest, use the {{control|Place Block}} [[control]] on the face of a block adjacent to the space the chest should occupy.

A chest placed adjacent to another chest joins to create a large chest. A player can prevent this, and place two small chests side by side, by {{control|sneaking|sneak}} while placing the second chest{{only|java|short=1}}, pushing a chest into place with a [[piston]]{{only|bedrock|short=1}}, or placing the second chest facing a different direction from the first chest. Alternatively, [[trapped chest]]s do not combine with normal chests.

Chests can be moved by pistons,{{only|bedrock|short=1}} and [[water]] and [[lava]] flow around chests without affecting them. Lava can create fire in air blocks next to chests as if the chests were flammable, but the chests do not actually catch fire and cannot be burned.

=== Container ===
[[File:Chest GUI.png|thumb|right|176px|The GUI of a chest.]]
[[File:Large Chest GUI.png|thumb|right|176px|The GUI of a large chest.]]

A small chest has 27 slots of inventory space, and a large chest has twice that amount, at 54 slots. In the ''Java Edition'' interface, the top three rows for a large chest correspond to the left half of the chest when facing it, and the bottom three rows correspond to the right half. In Bedrock Edition, the top three rows correspond to whichever half was placed first and the bottom three to the other half.

Chests open when {{ctrl|used}}. To move items between the chest inventory and the player inventory or hotbar while the chest GUI is open, drag or shift-click the items. Holding {{key|Shift}} and double-clicking while holding an item moves all items of the type clicked on in or out of the chest, to the extent that space is available for them.{{only|Java}} To exit the chest GUI, use the {{key|Esc}} control.

A chest cannot be opened if there is an opaque block above it ({{in|bedrock|lc=}}, bottom-half slabs prevent chests from being opened). Solid faces do not prevent chests from opening, so the lid of the chest can phase through blocks such as bottom-half [[slab]]s, [[stairs]], and transparent full cubes such as [[glass]] and [[ice]]. [[Ocelot]]s and [[cat]]s sitting on chests prevent them from opening. Because chests themselves are functionally transparent, two chests can be stacked on top of one another while still allowing the lower chest to be opened. Players can open chests when players are being hurt (effect of instant damage, poison, wither, fatal poison or on fire) or hurt by anyone ([[player]]s, [[zombie]]s, [[skeleton]]s, etc.).

By default, the GUI of a chest is labeled "Chest" and the GUI of a large chest is labeled "Large Chest". A chest's GUI label can be changed by naming the chest in an [[anvil]] before placing it, or by using the {{cmd|data}} command{{only|Java}} (for example, to label a chest at (0,64,0) as "Bonus Chest!", use {{cmd|data merge block 0 64 0 {CustomName:'"Bonus Chest!"'<nowiki>}</nowiki>}}). If half of a large chest is renamed, that name is used to label the GUI of the entire large chest, but if the named half is destroyed the other half reverts to the default label. If both halves of a large chest have different names, the GUI uses the name of the northernmost or westernmost half.

{{IN|java}}, a chest can be "locked" by setting its {{nbt|string|Lock}} tag using the {{cmd|data}} command. If a chest's {{nbt|string|Lock}} tag is not blank, the chest cannot be opened unless the player is holding an item with the same name as the <code>Lock</code> tag's text. For example, to lock a chest at (0,64,0) so that the chest cannot be opened unless the player is holding an item named "Chest Key", use {{cmd|data merge block 0 64 0 <nowiki>{Lock:"Chest Key"}</nowiki>}}.

The capacity of a chest varies greatly, depending on its size, whether the items inside it are stackable, and whether [[shulker box]]es are used. The minimum capacity is obtained when storing only non-stackable items while the maximum capacity can be achieved when storing items that stack to 64. Filled shulker boxes are not stackable, but each can hold 27 stacks of up to 64 items (excluding other shulker boxes), so filling a chest with them increases the maximum by a factor of 27.

|}

=== Donkey, mule, or llama pack ===
A chest can be added to a [[donkey]], a [[mule]], or a [[llama]] by pressing {{control|use}} on the respective animal.

A chest attached to a donkey or mule has only 15 slots. A chest attached to a llama has anywhere from 3 to 15 slots depending upon its "Strength" value (see {{Section link|Llama|Data values}}). The chest cannot be removed except by killing the carrier. The chest can be opened by holding {{control|sneak}} and pressing {{control|use}}, or by riding the carrier and pressing {{control|inventory}}.

If shulker boxes are again used, each donkey, mule or strength value 5 llamas with a chest attached to it can carry up to 405 stacks of items (up to 25920 items), and with strength value 5 llamas, each caravan of 10 llamas with inventories full of shulker boxes can carry up to 4050 stacks of items (up to 259200 items).

=== Piglins ===
[[Piglin]]s become hostile toward [[player]]s who open or mine chests.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}

=== Fuel ===
Chests can be used as [[fuel]] in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5 items per chest.

=== Note blocks ===
Chests can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce the "bass" sound.

=={{anchor|Xmas chest}} Christmas chest ==
{{exclusive|Java|section=1}}

On December 24–26, chests, large chests, and their trapped chest counterparts have their textures changed to "Christmas chests" that look like wrapped Christmas presents. Since the game uses the date stored on the player's computer, players can access the Christmas chest textures at any time by changing the date on their computers to December 24-26.
