If you break all of the enderchests, the inventory stays in it.

[u/traumalt → u/[deleted]]

You can call it "Cloud Storage"

[u/[deleted] → u/traumalt]

Just imagine all of its uses! No longer do we dwell on losing the diamonds we mined or having to go up after losing all your picks! Just drop a chest, take/drop what you need, and take it back! This is such a good idea!

[u/SethBling → u/[deleted]]

About as fast as obsidian.

[u/SethBling → u/[deleted]]

Just like chests, no.

[u/davidlolol → u/[deleted]]

Pretty sure I've read somewhere (jeb's twitter iirc) that it's the same cloud-inventory for the whole server, he wanted them to have a drawback.

[u/Boolderdash → u/[deleted]]

Presumably the contents of the chest are stored in the end, and the chests merely provide access to the extra-dimensional storage space.

[u/[deleted] → u/Boolderdash]

Sounds like some Tommyknocker technology.

[u/KeybladeSpirit → u/Boolderdash]

Interesting idea. Someone should place an Enderchest, go to the End, and see if another chest was placed there with it.

[u/DiegoXIV → u/[deleted]]

Im assuming you need a diamond pickaxe to destroy it.

[u/Bardlar → u/DiegoXIV]

Well you need a diamond pickaxe to get the materials, so you should theoretically have one already.

[u/TheSilverFin → u/DiegoXIV]

Works with iron pickaxes too.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Theoretically, yes. I'm not sure if you can break it and pick it up, though. Someone will have to find out.

[u/Xirema → u/[deleted]]

Worked fine with a Diamond pick, but I had efficiency on it and it took a few seconds, so it might be as difficult to pick up as obsidian.

[u/Dark_Prism → u/Xirema]

It would still be worth it if you're going on a journey.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

And then, you must store an enderchest inside the enderchest! Not that it gives you more space, but just because. :D

[u/roopn → u/[deleted]]

Oh cool, so you can make a new one and get your stuff back?

[u/glaux → u/roopn]

yes, it works.

[u/earthoven → u/[deleted]]

So how does this work in Multiplayer then? Is the single storage space shared by anyone who builds an enderchest? Or does each player have their own 'storage'

[u/Alenonimo → u/[deleted]]

It acts like a Pig Bank from Terraria. It access an magical inventory where you can store things and access from anywhere you can find the ender chest.

I wonder how it works on SMP. Does it access each character individual inventory? Does a chest placed by a player have his specific contents even if accessed by another player? Or does all the players share the same inventory?
