Obtaining

Breaking
A chest can be broken using anything, but an axe is the fastest. Breaking a chest will drop the chest and all the items it contains onto the block below where the chest was previously located.

Natural Generation
Chests naturally generate as a bonus chest and loot chests.
The bonus chest generates near the world spawnpoint if the option is toggled on. It contains the items listed below.
Loot chests generate in dungeons, skyholds, and ruins. The list of items they can contain is on the loot chests page.
Bonus Chest
Bonus chest is a regular chest that is spawned in the overworld containing a small set of randomized starting materials.
It can be enabled or disabled when creating a new world.
The chest generates based on the world's seed number. Up to 8 slots can be filled with starting materials, which is randomly chosen from the list below:
- 1-2 Saplings
- 6-12 Wooden planks
- 1-2 Apples
- 1-3 Bread
- 1 Wooden pickaxe (No damage)
- 1 Wooden axe (No damage)
- 1 Stone pickaxe (20-50 damage)
- 1 Stone Axe (20-50 damage)
- 2-3 Torches
- 5-20 Bamboo
Usage
Chests can be moved using pistons and sticky pistons, keeping their stored items.
Container
A chest is a useful block to a new player running out of inventory space, and for a player that wants to store and sort excess blocks and items. It is also a good way for storing valuable items, as the player won't lose them upon death if they are not in the player's inventory.
The chest has 27 storage slots, each of which can contain a stack of the same block or item (this is limited by the certain item, e.g. dirt can stack up to 64 but a bucket only up to 1).

Trivia
- Chests and furnaces are crafted similarly, with the only difference being in the type of block used in the crafting pattern (craft a chest with wood planks, craft a furnace with cobblestone).
