Chest

A Chest is a container that the Player can use to store items.

Use
Player-built Chests can store the Player's items, and can also be used to sort it as well, with the help of a few Redstone contraptions. Naturally generated Chests contaon valuable loot such as Diamonds, Name Tag, and Horse Armor. When two Chests are placed side by side, and facing the same direction, it will create a Large Chest or "Double Chest", which can store twice the items a regular Chest can hold.
