How To Lock Chests In Minecraft Bedrock

A trapped chest functions every bit a normal breast for detail storage, merely it produces redstone power when opened. It can exist visually distinguished from normal chests by a red coloration around the latch.

Obtaining [ ]

Breaking [ ]

Trapped chests can be cleaved with any tool, merely axes are the fastest. Items contained in the chest are dropped when the chest is broken. If one one-half of a large trapped breast is destroyed, the corresponding items from the destroyed trapped chest are dropped and the remaining trapped chest continues to role every bit a pocket-sized trapped chest.

Usage [ ]

Trapped chests tin can be used as containers and as redstone components.

To place a trapped chest, place the face of a block adjacent to the space the trapped chest should occupy.

Placing two adjacent trapped chests side-by-side typically joins them to create a big trapped chest. To avoid them joining and instead place 2 single trapped chests side by side, the histrion may sneak while placing the second trapped chest,‌^{[ Java Edition only ]} or place the 2nd trapped breast facing a dissimilar direction from the showtime one.‌^{[ Bedrock and Java editions only ]} Alternately, normal chests do not combine with trapped chests.

Trapped chests can be moved by pistons.‌^{[ Boulder Edition only ]} Water and lava flow around without affecting them. Lava can create fire in air blocks next to trapped chests as if they were flammable, but the chests practise not burn (and cannot be burned past other methods either).

Trapped chests tin can also activate cached TNT, destroying themselves, their contents and any mobs or players well-nigh them. They need to be opened twice for the TNT to be activated.

Container [ ]

A single trapped chest has 27 slots of inventory infinite, and a big trapped chest has 54 slots of inventory space. In a big trapped chest, the top 3 rows in the interface correspond to the western or northern chest block and the bottom iii to the southern or eastern chest block.

To open the trapped breast GUI, employ the Employ Item control. To motility items between the trapped breast inventory and the player inventory or hotbar while the trapped chest GUI is open, drag or shift-click the items. To exit the trapped chest GUI, employ the Esc control.

Past default, the GUI of a trapped chest is labeled "Chest" and the GUI of a large trapped chest is labeled "Large Breast." A trapped chest'due south GUI label tin can exist changed by naming the trapped breast in an anvil before placing it, or past using the information command‌^{[ Java Edition only ]} (for example, to characterization a trapped chest at (0,64,0) "Loot!", use /data merge block 0 64 0 {CustomName:'"Boodle!"'}). If half of a large trapped chest is renamed, that name is used to label the GUI of the entire large trapped breast, but if the named half is destroyed, the other one-half reverts to the default characterization. If both halves of a big trapped breast accept different names, the GUI label takes the name of the northernmost or westernmost half of the big trapped chest depending on its orientation (the half with the lowest coordinate in the appropriate axis).

A trapped chest can be "locked" past setting the trapped chest'due south Lock tag. If a trapped chest's Lock tag is not blank, the trapped chest cannot be opened except by players holding an particular with the same name equally the Lock tag's text. A trapped chest's Lock tag can exist set or unset with the information command. For example, to lock a trapped chest at (0,64,0) and then that only players belongings an item named "Alice's Key" can open up the trapped chest, use information merge cake 0 64 0 {Lock:"Alice's Key"}.

Redstone component [ ]

Chests (*left*) and trapped chests (*right*) can exist placed next to each other. Redstone dust configures itself to point toward trapped chests, merely not toward regular chests.

Trapped chests can be used to find when their inventory is accessed by players.

A trapped chest is inactive while not being accessed, just activates when accessed by a thespian (meet above). Accessing either part of a large trapped chest activates both halves of the large trapped chest. Mobs cannot access/actuate a trapped chest, and a trapped chest is not activated by items moving into or out of information technology by droppers or hoppers.

While agile, a trapped chest:

powers any adjacent redstone grit, including below the trapped chest, to a power level equal to the number of players accessing the trapped chest (maximum xv)
powers any adjacent redstone repeaters facing away from the trapped chest to power level 15
strongly powers any total solid opaque cake (stone, dirt, block of gold, etc.) below the trapped breast to a power level equal to the number of players accessing the trapped chest (maximum 15)
activates any adjacent machinery components, including above or beneath, such equally pistons, redstone lamps, etc. Due to hoppers being locked by redstone activation, hoppers below a trapped chest do not have items from it while it is open up.

An active trapped breast does non ability any adjacent redstone comparators facing away from it. Redstone comparators can measure the block country of the trapped chest, producing a power level from 0 to 15 proportional to how full the trapped breast is. Anything else powered by an agile trapped breast (including a block beneath it) tin power redstone comparators normally.

Piglins [ ]

Piglins get hostile toward players who open, break or interact with trapped chests.

Fuel [ ]

Trapped chests can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.v items per chest.

Note Blocks [ ]

Trapped chests can exist placed nether note blocks to produce "bass" audio.

Christmas chest [ ]

As with normal chests, on December 24, 25, and 26, trapped chests and large trapped chests have their textures changed to Christmas chests that look similar presents.
