Chest

Chests are pieces of furniture that can be placed and used for public storage. They can hold a maximum of 20 stacks of items at one time. You can collect chests with a standard hammer or by mining out the block it is sitting on; however if the Chest has any items in it, it is unbreakable (and therefore, immovable). chests can be placed on Wood Platforms.

Chests are often found naturally in, Underground Caves, Chasms, Dungeons, Jungle Shrines, and on Floating Islands. Chests that are found naturally can contain unique items, including weapons and accessories which grant the player special abilities. Chests in different biomes offer unique items specific to that biome, such as Flippers and Breathing Reeds only being found in underwater chest. Going into deeper layers will increase the odds of finding rare items inside chests, except for chests found in dungeons. Dungeon chests contain consistent quality items regardless of depth. Later in the game more and more of these will be needed to hold items you want to keep, but not carry around.
