How to Build a Chest in Minecraft

Ever wondered how you can store all your Minecraft goodies in one place? Let’s talk about building a chest in Minecraft. It’s simpler than you think and super useful for keeping your treasures safe!

So, you’re out adventuring, collecting stacks of diamonds, mountains of dirt, and more wood than you know what to do with. The question is: how do you build a chest to store all this stuff in Minecraft?

The Short Form Answer

To create a chest in Minecraft, you need 8 wooden planks. Open your crafting table, place the planks in every slot except the middle one, and voila, you’ve got yourself a chest!

This process is the same, no matter if you’re playing on PC, Mac, console, or mobile. Just remember, you can make a bigger chest, called a double chest, by placing two single chests side by side. Imagine all the space!
