Actually that is a good point.Just giving you some facts, real Minecraft's chests hold 27 and two chests combined hold 54. Then again, real minecraft uses a 32 bit computer and has many more blocks. Also when you say they can actually hold 16 blocks each do you mean like 1 cobblestone, 1 sand, 1 coal, etc. or did you account for multiple items per slot.
I have 16 int's worth of data per block...
Now because for that I should be able to hold 16 different lots of blocks right?
NO! Actually I need 2 int's for 1block, the block ID and the amount.
The crafting table stores things in a completely different way, it has 18 int's that are *global* and that have no relevance to the block it's self.
I'll probably make chat store things in a completely different way.
I'll probably be able to store the chest as mob, giving it an extra int's.
And by that time I'll probably be able to store infinite mobs into a file...
Just wondering, how many chests can you place in one chunk?
According to the " there must be a air block between chests " rule?
