The Chest is a block that is crafted from any type of planks. It can be placed facing different directions, and it can also be waterlogged.

Players break a chest fastest with an axe, and it drops itself when broken. It is also an ingredient in 16 other crafting recipes, so it turns up in many builds beyond its own use.
