Trapped Chest
minecraft:trapped_chestThe Trapped Chest behaves like a normal chest but emits a redstone signal while it is being accessed, with strength proportional to how many players have it open. It has a distinctive red-tinted latch and merges with an adjacent trapped chest into a double chest.
