Trivia

• Locked chests are a reference to the Mann Co. Supply Crates from Team Fortress 2, where a key must be purchased for $2.49 in the in-game shop called Mann Co. Store in order to open the crate.
• This may have been what Notch was talking about in his TwitterTechnology company post about a "silly secret project".
• Locked chests could generate in mid air or in the tops of trees.
• Locked chests could be placed next to each other to form a 2 block long chest like normal chests do. These two chests are still however "locked".
• The server console outputted "added a chest!" each time a chest was generated.
• The 5-key pack is actually $3 more than 5 single keys.
• The archived page is available in reduced functionality here.
• Locked chests made lava particles when broken.
• If you place stained glass, then change to version 1.6.4 or earlier, the stained glass will become a locked chest.
• Although locked chests were removed in the 1.7 update, there are still translation strings for it in the en_US.lang file.

Natural generation

Every chunk generated between Apr. 1 and Apr. 5, 2011 had a small chance of having a locked chest in it.

Usage

Message displayed upon attempting to open the chest.

Clicking use button on the chest would bring up a screen, and clicking on the "Go to Store" button would forward you to the "Minecraft Store". It linked to "https://minecraft.net/store/loot.jsp", but now the original page was removed and an error is shown. Various items were "sold" in the Minecraft Store (see below). Clicking on the proceed to checkout button triggered a screamer in which a Velociraptor from the movie Jurassic Park growled loudly and flew across the screen.

Entering items totaling over $10,000 into the cart caused a window pop-up asking if you are prone to seizures. Entering OK made the screen start flashing. When first released, there was no seizure warning label; Notch later implemented it to avoid lawsuits and posts on the forum.

On Apr. 2 (the day following Apr. Fools), the store had the addition of a multicolored banner which read "♥ Apr. Fools`! ♥", accompanied by a midi instrumental of Rick Astley`s `Never Gonna Give You Up`.
