Chest

A Chest is a block that is used to store objects. They can be interacted with, and the interface resembles the player's Inventory.

Placing two chests together creates a double chest or a large chest.

Spawning
Since Update 0.9.0, chests will spawn naturally in strongholds and dungeons and will contain valuable items such as rare minerals, food, etc. Due to this, they are renewable.

Crafting
8 Wooden Planks => 1 Chest

Trivia

 * Chests are a bit smaller than normal blocks,so you can interact with entities such as boats.
 * Glass Panes, Iron Bars and Fences will not connect to chests, since it is actually a tile entity, unlike other blocks.
 * It is not possible to place most blocks directly over a chest and have it work. There must be at least one block of free space above the chest to allow it to open.
 * Some blocks work, though, such as slabs, stairs, other chests, etc.
 * Unlike PC and Xbox/PlayStation Edition chests, before Update 0.7.3, the chests in Pocket Edition didn't have an opening animation, but Mojang developer Tommaso Checchi added a chest animation.
 * It is not possible to interact with Chests as of yet in Creative Mode.
 * Chests are not flammable, which is good news as BlackSmith's houses burn out completely.
 * Chest is the only interactive block with animation on PE.
