Craft the Chest
Fill the 8 outer slots of the crafting grid with Planks, leaving the center empty.
Tips
- Place two Chests next to each other to form a Double Chest with 54 slots.
- A Chest won't open if there's a solid block directly above it — leave the top clear.
FAQ
Why won't my Chest open?
There's a solid (opaque) block directly above it, or a cat is sitting on it. Clear the space above the chest.
