Golden Chest

A golden chest is a joke variant of the chest present in snapshot 23w13a_or_b. It is created by opening a normal or trapped chest while the minecraft:midas_touch vote rule is activated. Ender chests are unaffected.

Golden chests are not a separate block and thus cannot be obtained with the command /give or through the Creative inventory. To create a golden chest without minecraft:midas_touch activated, the player can use the /setblock command with a regular or trapped chest and the tag "gold": /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:chest{gold:1b}, or /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:trapped_chest{gold:1b}.

Opening a large chest with midas_touch changes the chest visually, but the texture is glitched. Large golden chests do not change the items inside into gold.
