The inventory menu of a single-wide chest.
For the armor type, see Chestplates.
Chests are storage items that come in two sizes: single-wide chests with 18 storage slots, and double-wide chests with 36 storage slots.
There are also locked chests, which can be unlocked by placing a key inside, turning it into an ordinary single-wide chest and allowing players to access its loot. Locked chests appear randomly while mining; each main biome (except for the Clay Caves) has its own unique type.
Functions
Sort
Automatically sorts and stacks together items in the chest. Items are sorted based on their internal ID number.
Quick stack
Automatically moves items from the player's inventory that are already in the chest, creating new stacks if necessary.
