'''Ender chests''' are a type of [[chest]] whose contents are exclusive to each [[player]], and can be accessed from anywhere in the world.

== Obtaining ==

=== 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 only 8 {{BlockLink|obsidian}} with no [[eye of ender|eyes of ender]]. Any pickaxe allows the ender chest to drop either itself or 8 obsidian, despite obsidian itself only being obtainable with a diamond or netherite pickaxe.<ref>{{bug|MC-177516}} resolved as Works as Intended</ref>

=== Natural generation ===

Ender chests naturally generate alongside a [[chest]] in certain [[End city]] treasure rooms.

=== Crafting ===

== Usage ==
[[File:Ender Chest GUI.png|thumb|right|176px|GUI of the ender chest.]]

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

Ender chests can be used like normal [[chest]]s, 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. Even if every single ender chest is destroyed in the world, the items inside the ender chest are still secure, and can be retrieved by placing another ender chest. Because of this player-specific property, ender chests are extremely useful on [[multiplayer]] servers to secure a player's most valuable items.

Donkeys, mules, and llamas cannot be equipped with ender chests; they support only normal chests.

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 do not interact with [[hopper]]s, [[dropper]]s, or [[comparator]]s.

Despite being comprised largely of [[obsidian]], they are not immune to destruction by the [[ender dragon]].<ref>{{bug|MC-177521|||WAI}}</ref>

It is possible to greatly increase the space of an ender chest by pairing it with [[shulker box]]es (i.e. filling the shulker boxes with desired items, then placing them inside the ender chest).

=== Light source ===
Ender chests emit a [[light level]] of 7.

=== Note Blocks ===
Ender chests can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce "bass drum" sounds.

=== Piglins ===
[[Piglin]]s become hostile toward players who open or mine an ender chest.<ref>{{bug|MC-172239|||WAI}}</ref>

=== Piston interactivity ===

Ender chests cannot be pushed by [[piston]]s. They also cannot be pushed nor pulled by [[sticky piston]]s.

=== Block data ===

An ender chest has a block entity associated with it that holds additional data about the block.

{{el|java}}:
{{see also|Block entity format}}
{{/BE}}

{{el|bedrock}}:
: See [[Bedrock Edition level format/Block entity format]].

=== Inventory ===

The contents of an ender chest are not stored in the block, but in the player-NBT under the tag {{code|EnderItems}}{{only|java}}/{{code|EnderChestInventory}}{{only|bedrock}}. Thus ender chests can be viewed as "portals" to a player's 27 additional slots of secure and exclusive inventory.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
*Because an ender chest's particles exist in a 1 block radius around the chest, the particles from a chest placed next to a wall 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.
*Ender chests render as a full block when in the inventory, but not when held or placed.{{only|bedrock}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-7990}}</ref>
*Ender chests cannot be locked by NBT tags.
*The texture of ender chests does not change during [[Easter eggs#Christmas|Christmas]] in contrast to [[trapped chest]]s and normal [[chest]]s.{{only|java}}
*Mining an ender chest with a wooden pickaxe takes the longest time in the game (16.9 seconds) to mine a block with the correct tool, without the effect of [[Mining Fatigue]] and other mining speed reduction events.
