If you’ve ever played Minecraft, you know the thrill of collecting items. But where to put them all? That’s where chests come in handy.
Quick Answer: Making Chests in Minecraft
Making chests in Minecraft is simple! You need 8 wooden planks. Arrange them in a circle in the crafting grid, leaving the middle spot empty. Voila, you’ve got a chest!
First, find some trees and use your trusty axe (or your hand, if you’re just starting) to gather wood. Then, turn that wood into wooden planks at a crafting table. Remember, you can use any type of wood, and they don’t all have to be the same kind.
