What is Trapped Chest in Minecraft?
A trapped chest is a special type of chest that sends out a redstone signal when it is opened. It looks almost identical to a regular chest, but it has a subtle, reddish tint around the latch. Its main purpose is to be a sneaky redstone switch. Players use trapped chests to create hidden traps, secret alarms, or other clever contraptions that are triggered when an unsuspecting player opens the chest. It is a fun and mischievous block for anyone who enjoys building redstone traps or secret mechanisms.
How to get Trapped Chest in Minecraft
The only way to get a trapped chest is by crafting it. It does not generate naturally in the world. The crafting recipe is very simple. You will need one regular chest and one tripwire hook. To get a chest, you need to craft one from eight wooden planks. To get a tripwire hook, you need to craft one from an iron ingot, a stick, and a wooden plank. Once you have your materials, you can craft a trapped chest in your inventory crafting grid or a crafting table. Just place the chest and the tripwire hook anywhere in the grid. This will create one trapped chest.
How to use Trapped Chest in Minecraft
The main use for a trapped chest is to activate redstone devices when it is opened. It works just like a regular chest for storing items. However, when a player opens it, it will send a redstone signal to any adjacent redstone dust or components. The signal will stay on as long as the chest is open. This is perfect for setting up a trap. For example, you can place a trapped chest with some TNT underneath it. When someone opens the chest, the TNT will be activated. You can also use it for less destructive things, like making a light turn on or a note block play a sound when you open a chest. A key difference is that you cannot place two trapped chests next to each other to make a large trapped chest.
