Locking Chests for Fun and Profit

  • With the update to Minecraft 1.20.1 rolled out, we will need to reset the Wastelands. Unless anything unforseene happens, we will be resetting the Wastelands on May 4th, 2024.
    A backup date of May 11th, 2024 will be used if more time is needed for players to remove their items from the Wastelands. Please be sure to recover/remove all items and blocks that you don't want to loose from the Wastelands before this date, as anything left will be deleted upon reset.

Leaving a chest out in the open? Want to protect it from passerby's? Don't want to take the time to surround it with protected blocks? Make it a shop instead.



First line blank
Second line: 1
Third line: 1
Fourth line: air

No one else can open it. If someone attempts to place a hopper underneath it, the build will get denied. If someone attempts to buy air, it will fail. The shop cannot be used! Your items are safe.

A build idea for a personal storage is place the shop signs on the back, so they are out sight and out of the way, silently protecting your precious acquisitions.

Other ideas:
  • Sell 3,456 iron swords. This shop is out of stock.
  • Offer a single block of dirt, sand, or even cobblestone for 999,999,999 Ether. You don't have enough money!
  • Sell an item that you don't keep in that chest, such as an iron sword in your dirt, sand or even cobblestone chest.
  • Set up your own shop, and make a profit.

Sounds like a good idea, but how do you handle the taxes?
