Breaking

A chest drops itself when broken with anything, and breaks fastest with an axe.

Natural generation

A dungeon holds up to two chests of loot.

Usage

Storage

A chest holds 27 stacks. Using it opens them.

Two chests side by side form a large chest that holds 54. Each half keeps its own 27. A chest cannot be placed beside two chests, or beside a chest that is already half of a large chest.

A chest does not open while a full, opaque block is on top of it, or on top of the other half of a large chest.

Breaking a chest drops its contents. Breaking one half of a large chest drops only that half's.

Fuel

A chest burns in a furnace for 300 ticks (15 seconds).
