In addition to normal chests, you can also craft a redstone chest in Minecraft. In this practical tip, we clarify what you need and what advantages the special box has.

Minecraft: craft redstone chest - how it works

Redstone chests look very similar to normal boxes, but other than these send a redstone signal when used. This can be used to build traps or storage systems. Another advantage: the level of the chest can be read with a redstone comparator.

1. To make it you need a normal chest and a hook. Place both of them on top of each other in a crafting field to build the redstone chest.
2. You can craft the normal chest beforehand with any eight wooden boards with which you fill a crafting table and only leave the middle field empty.
3. For the hook, place an iron bar in the upper middle field of a crafting table. Then place a stick in the field below and fill the lower middle field with a wooden board.

To be able to use the Chest's redstone signal, you must lay a redstone line. We'll tell you how to find the redstone you need in Minecraft on the next page.
