Death is not uncommon while playing Minecraft. This is especially fraught with newcomers to the game. Therefore, you need to create a warehouse as soon as possible, where spare things and valuable resources would be stored.
Specifications
A chest is a container capable of storing blocks and items. One chest has 27 slots. A chest cannot be opened if there is an opaque block above it. The chest itself is considered transparent, so you can put the chests on top of each other, and this will not interfere with their opening. When the chest is destroyed, all the items in it will drop out.
If you put two chests next to each other, then they form a single large chest, which is twice as large in volume and can hold 54 stacks. A double chest cannot be opened if there is an opaque block above at least one of its halves. When one of its blocks is destroyed, only items from this half will drop out, and the remaining one will continue to function as a regular single chest. In the interface, the top half always corresponds to the chest block to the left.

Chests are generated in treasures, fortresses, desert and jungle temples, hell fortresses, villages, Ender cities and igloos. When a minecart with a chest, generated in an abandoned mine, is destroyed, a minecart, a chest and all its contents fall out.
How to make a chest out of wood?
- You need to get eight wooden planks.
- Place the boards on the crafting table. Use the chest recipe to create a chest. Put boards in every slot except the middle one.
- Place the chest. Always place the chest so that there is enough free space around it, otherwise you will not be able to open it.
Keep in mind that there are very few blocks that will not prevent the chest from opening if you place them on top of it. These are water, lava, leaves, cactus, glass, snow, stairs, cupcakes, bed, fence, another chest, torch, tables, sleepers and some others (translucent blocks)
