– 25 ways to hide your valuables and Minecraft. If you’ve ever played around in a Minecraft server, you’re well aware that some players can be thieves. So to avoid those greedy folks, here are some of the best ways to sneak away your diamonds and Netherite.

Number one, when barrels got added into Minecraft, they’re kind of a status quo change. I mean, for so long, if you wanted to store your items you had to do it in something that looks like this. But luckily for us, barrels look like a full block, meaning

We can hide them in some pretty clever ways. And my personal favorite might just have to be putting an upside down barrel in between your floor boards. As you can see with these examples, we can tuck these away in some way pretty inconspicuous places like underneath the bed or some other chests.

And boom, you just can’t even notice it. I mean, if you want to flush way to incorporate these into your build, you’re gonna be able to do such. Number two. Even though Minecraft chest are fully capable of being waterlogged in recent updates, as it turns out(chuckles) they do way more benefit

If we put one of these underneath a lava lake. Unlike the clear blue ocean, this stuff is very tough to see through, which means all the more reason that you should tuck away your valuables there. Look, I know it seems daunting to put it this close to lava,

But it’s not gonna burn up. So even if you put it down there, everything’s gonna stay safe. And as long as you set it up where you’re able to reach these items inside of the lava lake without getting too close to comfort to the magma, I think you’ll be all right. Number three.

While your valuable items and fire don’t tend to mix, actually putting them in a campfire is a different story. Or rather, underneath the campfire. As you can see here, the only way we’re able to access the items underneath is by extinguishing this campfire. When it’s lit, you got no hope.

But as soon as it’s extinguished, you’re able to go through the ashes and actually pick up your stuff. Now, this is a very weird method and frankly, I haven’t seen it done too often. But look, if you want to go on that camping trip, and keep the explorers from, well, exploring your items,

This might be your best shot. Number four. Now, if you’ve ever taken the time to listen to some kind of building tutorial on Minecraft, then you very well know that you should always decorate your builds. And surprisingly, decorative blocks do this very well. For example, let’s look at a dropper.

When you look at its face, it’s not exactly a looker. But if you tuck it away this way, then you actually get a pretty nice stone texture to using your builds. Just like that. We solve two different things. You not only deck out your house, but also your storage system.

And while these were great wherever you put them, I should warn you that you should try to put this out of the range of any kind of misclicks. Tuck it on the corners like this one, and you might just be able to get away with it long enough to keep your stuff safe.

Number five. While there are many different ways in the game to hide a different chest item, as it turns out, if you just add five iron to the back of that on a crafting table, then all of a sudden you can make a pretty good hidden mine cart chest.

This new entity is way easier to push into corners and you can definitely see that with this bookshelf. From a first glance, it’s hard to notice anything, but as soon as we get closer, you’ll see a bit of gray popping out. Right click on that

And boom, all of your stuff safe and clean, which I think is pretty sweet. Even if you only get one chest worth of storage here as opposed to the full double. Number six. You don’t have to look at Minecraft for too long to realize that some textures get reused in different spaces.

And while from a game design standpoint that makes sense, what it can actually allow us to do is make some pretty great camouflage. Like take for instance, putting a stone button on top of a stone block. Just like that, if someone’s looking at this machine dead on,

They’re not really gonna notice the extra depth there. Meaning if you tuck away a stone button inside of an actual cave system, then it’s a pretty solid way to tuck away your items for a hidden switch. Just make sure you remember where you place this, because I can imagine

This could be pretty easy to lose if you try to go back and find it. Number seven. When you first find a village in Minecraft, what’s your first instinct? Loot it, of course. Most people would. And while that almost guarantees that any repeat visitors are just gonna find empty ransacked chests,

You can actually use that to your advantage. Especially if you’re in a village that’s nearby the server spawn. No one’s ever checking the chests after it’s already been looted. Meaning that a certain point late stage into the game you can just tied your items there and no one’s gonna be any the wiser.

As far as they’re concerned, they’re expecting to just see an empty chest full of dust or something when they open it up, not anyone’s diamonds. Number eight. One of the key rules in magic, is to use the art of misdirection. So even though putting your stuff

In a regular chest would be too obvious, you can instead use those as a decoy facade on how to barrel accessible through the normal storage chests. Like we said, the hitboxes of these two things are very different. So you’re actually able to go at the corner and access your stuff

Even through a regular chest. Just like that, any all lookers will just suspect that it’s a normal storage chest because for them, they can’t open it so it seems like it is. But as long as they pay no attention to the barrel behind the curtain, you might just get away with hiding

Your stuff, right in plain view with them. Number nine. Let’s say you run a Minecraft farm and while that’s go and well for you, you actually want to tuck away your prized golden hoe, completely understandable. But when you’re out there in the field, a chest looked pretty obvious.

So instead, for any farmhands looking to keep their items safe, you actually might benefit from making a tilled soil trick. 99% of the time that you look at it, this dirt just looks like that, dirt. But as soon as you come through and use your hoe on that soil,

Then all of a sudden you’re able to peek through that one little gap and then actually see your items. All it takes is a few jumps to cover up your tracks and just like that, your crop cash is hidden away in a safe. Number 10. Clearly just tilling the soil

Is a pretty good way to tuck away your items inside a barrel. But we can push it one step further. You see what happens here is that when we till the dirt, it actually updates a block update detector piston. And once that gets triggered, it’s to your heart’s desire.

And then after you’re done looking and checking on your prized pick ax, all you got to do is reset this contraption. It’s as simple as that. But one thing I will note is that this is probably gonna work best in a biome that doesn’t have grass naturally occurring, which overall is gonna guarantee

The you’re the one who’s in charge of when those items get shown. And honestly, that’s the whole point of building this system anyway. Number 11. Minecraft has a ton of different options for storing items in a container. And while in the past, when we talked about weird storage I said that Brewing Stands

Might be the strangest option. Furnaces are just one step up from being just that weird. But luckily, unlike those Brewing Stand counterparts, we can put anything we want in the first slot of the Furnace. Which means, fortunately for us, if you have a deactivated super smelter, that we can actually use that

To store away your items. Just tuck them away in the mechanics and no one’s gonna be any the wiser as long as they’re not going to cook something up. Number 12. Now upon first inspection, when you check out this barrel, it just seems to be empty.

And while that looks like that’s the entire system, don’t get it twisted. We can actually do so much more here because as you can see, the real secret here is that when I go and flip this lever in a different location, now the items actually start to come into the barrel.

The whole empty thing was just a phase. And luckily, we sorted that out soon enough. Through the help of hoppers and droppers, we’re able to get everything inside of the chest as we want. And then as soon as you’re done, just go back over here and flip the switch again. Everything drains out

And the whole process is left to an empty barrel once again. Number 13. Now, if you’ve ever taken a good long step back from your storage system, then you know that at a certain point, chests just render out of your sight. And while sometimes that can be a nuisance,

We could actually use it to some pretty great feats here. See, if you were to say tuck a shulker box right up at the top of the world limit, then to anyone on the ground, it’s gonna look completely invisible. I mean, even if it was visible,

It’s still not exactly easy to get up to why Y-256 to go grab your stuff. But the fact that just flat out you cannot see it from the ground already makes this better. And, hey, this gives you an excuse to bust out the elytra a couple more times,

Which honestly I’m completely fine with. Number 14. Buried treasure as a concept is a tale as old as time. And while most of us in Minecraft primarily experienced these through the sunken treasure ships and ruins of old, why should the pirates could have all the fun. Personally, something that I love to do

Is make a buried treasure chest right in the middle of nowhere. And then, through the help of something like the lodestone or if you’re boring, coordinates, then you can actually remember where this is hidden when you want to come back to it. Or you know what,

If you want to get even more creative with this then when you could do is just make an X on the spot and then lock the maps so that even when you remove the X, it’s still marked there on the map itself. That’s going the extra mile.

And if you go through all that effort, then I genuinely hope that all of your items stay safe. Number 15. While there’s plenty of different creative things that you can make with soul sand, whether that’s a slowness trap, or a bubble elevator, this probably has to be my favorite.

With a situation like this, if you ride a mine cart over this, it actually snaps through the rail with you in tact and still goes under the floor. Meaning that if you were to go to, say, a soul sand valley and set one of these up,

All you got to bring is the rails of your inventory, and you’re able to get a secret entrance right down to your hidden valuables. Is it weird? Absolutely. But I also think that’s gonna deter anyone from ever trying it because, really, who would think of this anyway? Number 16.

Mass item storage is a pretty common thing amongst most servers, especially like game. Am I most of the time people would just label these for dirt, stone, cobble, et cetera. That’s not exactly a hard and fast rule. You see a particularly sneaky method might just be hiding

In your valuables within one of these mass storage systems because really who’s going around checking out your third double chest full of Kabul. At that point, they see it as a foregone conclusion that that’s all that’s there which gives you the full opportunity to put your valuables in there, label it

As something else, and maybe pass it off as another storage. Number 17. Regular Minecraft chest. Aren’t exactly in conspicuous, but Shulker boxes on the other hand can tell a different story. You see what these were able to die at a whole slew of colors. And that gives us some more

To play around with, meaning it might just be beneficial to hide your valuables and something like a green choker that you tuck amongst the green grass, or maybe disguise a Brown chokers. One of the trees branches. I mean, even a white mushroom STEM Shulker box(chuckles) could work fine here.

If you’re willing to get creative, there’s plenty of different ways to hide these things in plain sight. Number 18. Now maybe it’s just me but when I’m going around someone else’s Redstone machinery, I feel like I can not touch anything. And I’m assuming most respectable players feel the same way.

Which means if you want to be a little devious you can actually tuck away your items inside the Redstone machinery. If they’re not completely in the know with how the wiring works then they’re just gonna see that barrel that you put up there it’s completely necessary to the built.

And from there you play off that expectation and just hide your valuables right inside that. I mean, in fairness, it is your Redstone contraption. So it makes total sense for you to go back there and check on the wire you never know then. Number 19. Item frames might just

Be the least useful way to hide your items, but we can use those item frames to our advantage. You see, by using a comparator system like this we can actually make an item frame based on locking system. As you can see, just by rotating this item

In the item frame and a specific direction we’re able to completely reveal what we got going on here. And then when you’re done, just rotate it again, simple as that. And as long as your friend doesn’t have a compulsion to touch absolutely everything they see

You might be able to leave this stone unturned. Number 20. As it turns out Shulker boxes aren’t just helpful for storing your items but also helping you get to your storage. What I mean by that is, if you have the shoebox here, and you open it up

You might just see it as this, that a shulker box. But when you stand on top of it with a ceiling, like, so and then you actually open it up you can phase through the floor through the Shulker box and get to the actual goods. It’s a very strange process.

And it definitely feels like a bug or the very least a manipulation of the hip boxes. What are this point? Who cares? You’re are down there with your diamonds and the motions complete. Number 21. Anyone who’s ever played around in creative knows very well that you can place blocks underneath bedrock by

But you can’t plus any blocks down there that doesn’t exactly mean that you can’t place entities and that we can use to our advantage. See if you go down here we can actually set up something small, cut a void base which through the help of things like mine, cart chest

You can actually store full items right down there in the bottom of the world. Just make sure not to bump into anything while you’re down there, because if you knock that mind card off. Yeah. I don’t think you have to worry about hiding those valuables anymore Number 22.

As we know, Redstone can make for a pretty great way to hide your valuables. But if anyone has any kind of passing knowledge for how it works, it can be pretty easy to figure it out. So if we want to get a little more clever

We can take it up a level by making a multi-part entrance. And what’s beautiful about this system is that if someone ever finds out the pattern you could just add on more steps. At a certain point, even if they’re keeping up with you they’re just gonna get tired of it.

And fortunately for you, that exhaustion likely means that your items are gonna live to see another day. As long as you remember the pattern you’re gonna be able to access them as well. Number 23. When people talk about hiding money in the floorboards, it’s normally ingest,

But what might sound crazy in the real world and Minecraft actually plays out a little differently. You see if you have a setup like this we’re using trap doors for your floor which already looks good. So people would just let us slide. But what they might not know is that whole time

While they’re walking around your base they’re actually stepping on a couple of your items. But again, I will mention that if you go about making one of these, you got to remember where you keep it in the floor because nothing’s gonna look more conspicuous than you flip it over.

And every single trap door on your floor trying to find your diamonds. Number 24. On most of us decide to password, protect our saves by using the password built into our computers. We can take it one step further. And as you can see here, by using hoppers

We can make some form an item sorter system to actually use pass keys in our base type out this long string of characters that no one ever knows on a piece of paper, some named item. And then only if it matches the one that’s in there

Will people be able to go to your head and stuff? It is a pretty good system. And while I don’t exactly think we’re gonna get two factor authentication for your nether, right? This might be the closest thing. Number 25. Now, if you’ve been paying attention, you notice we talked

About many different fun and creative ways to keep your items safe with one notable exception. And that’s of course the end of chest. Now folks, even if I personally think the ones before are more fun this is the undisputed champion. I mean, regardless of what server you’re playing on

That enter chest is linked to you and only you so whatever you put in there, it’s gonna be safe. So while sometimes it might be fun to hide some of your less valuable things that some of these weird locations when you really want to play it safe,

Then you just got to rely on this big guy. And would that folks find that valuable sub button down below and have a good one, all right?
