Uses

Chests are placed and picked up much like crafting surfaces, and do not interfere with a blockhead's passage.

When a blockhead selects a chest and "Use Chest" from the pop-up menu, it opens a storage space of sixteen storage slots in a four-by-four square, each able to hold a stack of one type of item. Different stacks may be of the same or different items.

Chests can be placed inside baskets or other containers. They continue to carry their contents, and can be stacked with other chests even if they are empty or have differing contents. When a chest is later placed and used, its contents at the time of removal are available again.

There is no way of viewing the contents of a chest before using/opening it, so there is no guarantee that placing a chest from a stack will get you the chest you want, although general inventory stack handling tends to be LIFO (Last In First Out). Color-coding chests with paint might help identify specific chests, with the most recently added chest's color appearing as the stack's icon.

Notes

A single chest can hold up to (16 x 99) 1,584 of a single type of stackable item. A full stack of chests can hold up to (16 x 99 x 99) 156,816 of a single type of stackable item.

Despite their wood-like appearance, a chest will not be destroyed by fire although it may drop if it supporting back wall and blocks are destroyed.
