Jungle Crates contain valuable loot that can greatly aid the player in pre-Hardmode without the need to defeat any event, boss, or venture far into any deadly biomes.
As the Jungle has many surface ponds, some can be very deep, and it can be very easy to set up a viable outpost for fishing. Ideally, the base should sit right atop the water, or over the entire pond altogether, to prevent flying enemies from getting in.
Trivia[]
The Jungle Crate resembles the ancient wooden cage ambient object. However, the object is unrelated and has no function other than being broken.
