What does a trapped chest do in Minecraft – Sportskeeda

In Minecraft, players are able to both obtain and craft something known as trapped chests. Trapped chests were officially added in Minecraft 1.5 and have been updated throughout the years.

Trapped chests might not appear to be very popular, meaning lots of players might not be aware of their existence. In multiplayer worlds, trapped chests can be very useful to prank other players who attempt to loot other people’s bases.

Below is everything players need to know about trapped chests, including breaking them, natural generations and what they do!


Trapped Chests in Minecraft

Where can you find trapped chests?

If Minecraft players wish to seek out a woodland mansion, they can do so by using a woodland explorer map, which can be obtained from cartographer villagers.

Trapped chests can be crafted by placing a regular chest and a tripwire hook on a crafting table!

Breaking and obtaining trapped chests

When placing two adjacent trapped chests side-by-side, it will combine the two chests, creating a double trapped chest. To avoid this, players in Java Edition can sneak while placing a second trapped chest, or place the second trapped chest facing a different direction.
