Appearance

A golden chest looks almost exactly like a wooden chest except for being bright yellow instead of brown.

Where Found

Golden chests are created only on the generation of a new world, although worlds created with an earlier version may spawn them when opened using version 1.3 or later. They are located randomly underneath sand or sometimes dirt (with sand nearby), just above stone or the permanent stone back wall called "bedrock." Dirt or water can overlay the sand. They can also rarely be found sitting on stone in previously unexplored caves. They are typically located no more than fourteen blocks below sea level. Sometimes, you can find them in caves near cave trolls, which might also have a level 0 trade portal. Golden chests are usually found in caves, and in the empty layer between the sand and the stone."

When removed, a back wall of stone will be revealed where the golden chest was spawned. This usually indicates what can be called "bedrock," although the sections left by golden chests tend to protrude above others.

They are also found as part of cave troll lairs.

Use

Aside from the content they are created with, golden chests function just as crafted chests. They can be relocated, filled, carried, nested, and stacked with other golden chests. They cannot be stacked with regular chests, nor can they be crafted on a crafting surface Golden chests are not crafted anywhere. They are spawned in with a new world creation, just like cave trolls. When spawned, they may contain copper coins, gold coins, copper ingots, iron ingots, gold ingots, and/or various gems.(Amethyst, Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby, Diamond.) Specific gem(s) and quantity of any item is randomly determined (from 1 to 99 per stack). There can be multiple occurrences of the same type of item in the same chest, usually of varying quantity per slot. Usually, the most common drop is copper coins. Ingots and gems most commonly appear singly, but have been found in multiple quantities.
