About

The Trapped Chest is a variant of the standard chest that outputs a redstone signal proportional to the number of players viewing its contents. When closed, it emits no signal; when opened by one or more players, it activates connected redstone components. This makes it ideal for trap doors, hidden mechanisms, or puzzle-based contraptions where you want an action to trigger when the chest is accessed.

It functions identically to a regular chest for storage, holding up to 27 stacks of items, but the redstone output distinguishes it. Place and break it like any wooden block. Use /give @p minecraft:trapped_chest 1 to add one to your inventory.
