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 twelve blocks below "sea level."
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.
Use
Aside from the content they are created with, golden chests function just as crafted chests -- but yellow. They can be relocated, filled, carried, nested, and stacked with other golden chests.
When spawned, they may contain copper coins, gold coins, copper ingots, iron ingots, gold ingots, and/or gems. Specific gem(s) and quantity of any item is randomly determined. There can be multiple occurrences of the same type of item in the same chest, usually of varying quantity per slot. Ingots and gems most commonly appear singly, but have been found in multiples.
