Template:Redirect Template:Infobox block An ender chest is a type of Minecraft:chest whose contents are exclusive to each Minecraft:player, and they can be placed and accessed from anywhere in any dimension.

Usage

GUI of the ender chest.

Ender chests can be opened by pressing the Template:Control control. If a solid block is placed above an ender chest, it cannot be opened.

Ender chests can be used like normal Minecraft:chests, except all ender chests in the world are interconnected, including in different dimensions. The ender chest's inventory is also separate for each player; consequently, items stored in an ender chest cannot be seen or taken by other players. Items stored inside of an ender chest remain even if the player dies. If an ender chest is destroyed, the items inside it are not dropped and can be retrieved again by accessing or placing another ender chest. Because of this player-specific property, ender chests are useful on Minecraft:multiplayer servers to secure valuable items.

Donkeys, mules, and llamas cannot be equipped with ender chests; they support only normal chests.

Ender chests contain 27 slots for storage and can be placed next to other ender chests without joining; they cannot be combined into double chests. It is possible to greatly increase the space of an ender chest by pairing it with Minecraft:shulker boxes (i.e. filling the shulker boxes with desired items, then placing them inside the ender chest). Placing 27 shulker boxes in the ender chest increases the storage space to 729 slots.

Ender chests do not interact with Minecraft:hoppers, Minecraft:droppers, or Minecraft:comparators.

Despite being made of Minecraft:obsidian, an ender chest is not immune to destruction by the Minecraft:ender dragon.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Light source

Ender chests emit a Minecraft:light level of 7.

Note blocks

Ender chests can be placed under Minecraft:note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

Piglins

Ender chest cannot be pushed by the Minecraft:piston, and cannot be pulled by the Minecraft:sticky piston.

Inventory

The contents of an ender chest are not stored in the block, but in the player-NBT under the tag Template:CodeTemplate:Only/Template:CodeTemplate:Only. Thus ender chests can be viewed as "portals" to a player's 27 additional slots of secure and exclusive inventory, which are not lost on death.
