Crafting Copper Chests in Minecraft: A Step-by-Step Guide
In the upcoming 2025 Minecraft update, players will have a new opportunity to expand their storage options with the introduction of copper chests. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to craft these useful items.
**Step 1: Summon a Copper Golem** Before you can start crafting copper chests, you'll need to have a Copper Golem. This new creature can be found within Minecraft and spawns with a copper chest, granting you access to the recipe for crafting more copper chests [1][2].
**Step 2: Gather Materials** Once you have the recipe, gather the essential materials: - Any type of chest - 8 Copper Ingots - A Crafting Table
**Step 3: Craft the Copper Chest** - Place the chest in the center of the crafting table. - Surround the chest with the 8 copper ingots, creating a square shape. - The arrangement should look like this: ``` Copper Ingot | Copper Ingot | Copper Ingot | Copper Ingot Copper Ingot | Chest | Copper Ingot | Copper Ingot Copper Ingot | Copper Ingot | Copper Ingot | Copper Ingot ``` - Remove the crafted copper chest from the crafting table.
**Step 4: Optional: Double Copper Chests** If you wish to increase your storage capacity, copper chests can be combined to form double copper chests, similar to regular chests [2].
**Step 5: Maintenance** Over time, copper chests will oxidize. To maintain their appearance, you can wax them [4].
**Tips** - Copper golems can sort items from copper chests into regular chests, aiding in inventory management [3][4]. - Ensure you're playing in a version that supports copper chests, such as the Minecraft Preview with the 2025 updates [2][3]. - A crafting table is required for making both Copper Golems and copper chests.
With these steps, you're now equipped to craft multiple copper chests in the 2025 Minecraft update, enhancing your storage capabilities and streamlining your Minecraft experience. Happy crafting!
