In minecraft we all know that we can combine two single chests to make a double chest that should be pretty obvious but have you ever thought of or even attempted to add more chests no it’s impossible you can’t add more chests to a double chest the game simply Won’t let you now that is true in normal intended circumstances but when you break the game you can get this so today i’m going to show you the weird history of minecraft triple chests and how at one point this was actually possible to create Chests were added to minecraft in january of 2010 they could be placed as either a single block or have two chests combined for extra storage but players soon started to wonder if you could possibly combine more chests than the game allowed by default well it wasn’t Until a bit later when a method for creating a triple chest was discovered by creating a regular double chest and placing a water source adjacent to the chests and then simply placing the third chest in water it would successfully place that chest giving you a triple chest the reason this works is because Of a bug introduced in july of 2010 when you place a block in water the check to see if that block placement is valid is ignored this allowed you to place certain blocks in ways they were never intended to be so now that we have this triple chest does it even function like One or is it just a graphical glitch well let’s see if we open the left chest we get a normal chest gui if we open the right chest same thing but if we open the chest in the center whoa now this looks a bit broken by the looks of it There are actually nine rows of possible item slots so it does actually work as a triple chest but because this was never intentional no gui for a triple chest was ever created therefore it looks glitched but it doesn’t stop here what if we added more chests like a quadruple chest Okay now this is just weird my gui is literally going off the screen but you know what we need to push this to the absolute limits a quintuple chest oh my gosh look at this it appears that the chest gui is actually repeating itself but as far as i know this chest actually Works as a quintuple chest too bad there isn’t an option to lower the gui scale in this version and it wouldn’t be until beta 1.5 or april of 2011 when mojang would add a gui scale option and that update also happened to be the one that patched the invalid block placement bug Which pretty much patched player creation of triple chests or multiple chests for that matter however these chests could live on as long as you made them before the update that means that this bug wasn’t patched completely as you could of course still use external programs like mcedit to create them but That still didn’t mean that you couldn’t obtain a triple chest in survival minecraft turns out that it was still possible i’m talking about triple chests that spawn naturally we all know that dungeons spawn one or two chests sometimes right next to each other creating a double chest we also know That abandoned mine shafts also spawn with chests with older versions of the game spawning regular chests instead of minecart chests so what if a dungeon and an abandoned mine shaft happened to spawn in just the right way that it would create a triple chest well in extremely rare circumstances this is Actually possible someone on reddit found this triple chest in his own survival world imagine just mining in a world and seeing something like this so just to put into perspective of how rare this is the world first has to spawn a double chest dungeon which is very rare On its own then a mine shaft has to spawn going through the dungeon with the chest right next to the double chest now i’m no math expert so if someone could figure out an exact probability of a triple chest spawning in this manner let me know and i’ll be sure to pin your Comment now because this was in a version of the game that had the newer chess design both chests would show their opening animation when opened in the center which is pretty cool and later on people would eventually find seeds with two dungeons spawning together which isn’t all that rare on Its own but sometimes this can also result in a triple chest even on the anarchy server 2b2t a player found a triple chest generate with 2b2t’s seed now with the server being on minecraft patch 1.12.2 it unfortunately glitches the texture of triple chests making them invisible this Is because at some point in minecraft’s updates the way chess render was changed but they still worked exactly how triple chess did years ago but of course at some point triple chests or multiple chests wouldn’t last forever after over seven years of triple chests existing in the game the 1.13 aquatic Update marked the end of triple chests in this update the mechanics of chests were changed to allow players to place two double chests directly next to each other by holding shift to connect them because chests no longer had the restriction of being separated from each other this effectively patched triple Chests as it was literally impossible for them to overlap like they did in previous versions any chests that were previously triple chests would simply turn into individual chests upon updating the fact that this bug lasted in the game for this long is just crazy to me probably because mojang had better Things to do with the game rather than patching a bug that was only created with external programs or was so rare that less than 0.01 of minecraft’s players would even come across it plus the patch wasn’t even intentional but accidental due to the change in overall chest mechanics so That’s the history of minecraft triple chests it was certainly a strange bug in the game that wasn’t very useful but really interesting regardless Video Information
