How to Make a Copper Chest in Minecraft

With copper golems being introduced as a brand-new mob in the third Minecraft drop in 2025, we have a collection of new copper tools and items, including the copper chests. The copper chests are made specifically for copper golems so that they can sort out items and manage your inventory. So, if you want to make a copper chest in Minecraft, check out all the steps in this guide below.

Items Required to Make a Copper Chest

The copper chest crafting recipe is locked until you make a copper golem first in Minecraft. The moment you make your first copper golem, a copper chest spawns right under it. The recipe for making a copper chest unlocks in your recipe book once you pick it up.

That said, here are the items you need to make a copper chest:

• 1 Chest
• 8 copper ingots

A chest can be made using 8 wooden planks of any type, while you can get copper ingots from melting raw copper in a furnace. Apart from these, you will require a crafting table where you can place these materials to craft yourself a copper chest.

How to Make a Copper Chest in Minecraft

As discussed earlier, the recipe for a copper chest will only be unlocked once you break and pick it up after a copper golem spawns. These aren’t readily available in your world as well, so in order to craft loads of copper chests, you can follow the given steps:

• Place a crafting table on the ground and make sure you have the required items.
• Now place the regular chest in the center cell, and fill the surrounding cells with the 8 copper ingots.
• The copper chest will be available in the cell on the right, and you can click and drag to store it in your inventory.

What is the Use of Copper Chests in Minecraft

Copper chests act the same as regular chests and are used for storing items in Minecraft. The one unique part about the copper chests is that the copper golems can interact with them to sort all the items inside them.

Suppose you have copper chests and regular chests lying near each other, then the copper golem will equip itself with as many items as it can hold, look for matches in other chests, and eventually stack them up neatly.

Since it takes a bit of time for the copper golems to make a calculated move and sort the items, you can consider going on an adventure, try mining for diamonds, or explore the Nether. Then, once you return, the chests will be tidied up by the cute little copper golems.

That’s how you craft a copper chest in Minecraft, including what materials you need, and what these chests can do in the game. So, are you excited to use copper chests and golems in the Minecraft Fall update? Let us know in the comments below.
