Trivia

• In earlier versions, 3 Iron Bars were required for crafting.
• As of 1.0.6, The Barrel only takes 1 Iron Bar to craft, making it more cost effective to build than a Chest.
• There is a cap number of 1000 Chests that can be in a World. This includes Gold and Shadow Chests.
  
• There are only two places Chests cannot spawn, in Lava and inside blocks.
• When swinging a 'Very Slow Speed' Sword like Fiery Greatsword and opening a Chest before the swing ends with autopause on you won't be able to obtain the first item in the Chest.
• Since characters keep their inventory through worlds, chests can be used to give new characters high level weapons or other objects.
• Chests can be seen when using a Spelunker Potion, making finding chests in caves very easy.
• Chests with an item in them and the ground under them cannot be destroyed, but if a chest with an item is placed on an active stone block, toggling the blocks will make it rain 3 - 5 chests (version 1.1.2). The chest will remain suspended in midair on an inactive stone block; this is probably the only way to have a chest that you can't stand on.
• Empty or not, when placed on them chests can hold up two pieces of sand or silt until the chest is removed.
