Question

When I try to put a chest on a donkey or a mule, it will no longer work. What could be wrong?

Community Answer

You need to sit on the donkey and press "e" and then it will open up the donkey's inventory and its chest.

Question

Can you somehow open a trapped chest?

Banana Head

Top Answerer

You can open a trapped chest the same way you would a normal chest, but the trapped chest will send out a redstone signal. Try checking all around it for redstone dust that could be leading to a trap (or check for TNT under the chest!).

Question

What is the pink and black block?

Banana Head

Top Answerer

That is a weird thing that happens when Minecraft cannot load the texture for the item. The item/block will still work, but will appear as that pink/black square.

Question

How do I make a tall chest?

Community Answer

You cannot make a tall chest, it is not possible. It is not in the game. Instead, just stack the chests.

Question

How do I put a chest on a boat?

Community Answer

Using version 1.19 or higher, place both a boat and a chest anywhere in the crafting grid. (You can even do this in the 2×2 inventory crafting grid.)

Be sure you aren't sneaking when you place the second chest, otherwise they won't connect.
