I don't know if this has been suggested before, but oh well. Warp chests would be crafted to give you two chests, or maybe two halves of one. They are basically two separately placed chests that have the same contents. Therefore, you could load up a chest with caving supplies, place the other chest in a cave and take out the supplies. Or you could have an empty chest at home and load it up with your diamonds while in a cave to safeguard them. Or on SMP you could have a chest with your goodies in it way underground, and only you have the other chest to get the stuff. Seriously, the possibilities are almost endless. A possible crafting recipe could go something like this.
Where is obviously redstone.

Any thoughts?

Thanks! The only problem would be whether you get two chests or two halves separately placed. Also, it would be confusing if you had more than one set... But that's why notch added naming chests!
Ok, how about this. It can be an End Chest, and emit those weird purple particles. Instead of obsidian, it uses White Stone, or End Stone, whatever it's called.
The items are coded into the space the chest takes up, not the chest itself sooo..
... Way to just crush all of my dreams...
But seriously, there must be some way around it, like making the chest just be a prompt to reach the contents of the chest. It wouldn't be too hard I think, but I'm no expert.
how about this,a speacial kind of chest that it have the same content,but diferent pages to allow more space,each chest,one more page,of this quicly accecible line of chests.

Give the pair of chests an ID number that's assigned when they're crafted. Chests with matching IDs - when opened - check the X Y Z of their partner chest and cut - paste all the items from it into the one that was opened.
Say you just crafted your first pair - ID 1. You place one in your home at -253 64 42, and one in your mine at -212 17 -87
You open the one in your house and place in 2 iron picks (257 2x), an iron shovel (256), and a water bucket (326). Now you have the values 257 257 256 326 stored in block -253 64 42.
You do down into your mine, and open the other chest. It searches for another warp chest with ID 1 and finds it at the aforementioned block. To prevent item copying, it imports the values (257 257 256 426) into the block at -212 17 -87, and then deletes them from -253 64 42. The items are now in your cave chest. Lets say that you take it all, mine a bit, then dump your inventory.
Now -212 17 -87 has 257 256 325 15 14 04 04 04 331. Well, you're on your way back up when a malicious arrow steals away your last heart from behind a corner. You spawn back in your house and immediately rush to your warp chest. ID check for 1. Found at -212 17 -87. copy paste. All your iron and redstone and such is now in your home warp chest waiting for you.
I intensely dislike this. It's a good idea, but if we get this, it should ONLY be AFTER the teleporting door that has been suggested countless times before.

...So you dislike my idea because you DO like a completely different other idea?
Now that... seems really annoying. Do you mean you put in diamonds, and they randomly turn into mushrooms as the whole game laughs at your face?
Uhh no. I mean you place your magic-chest on top of a rare/random block, let's say a gold block. Then you go somewhere, place your 2nd magic-chest, and put a gold block beneath it. You have now linked them. Buuuut..... Lets say you have a valuables chest and a mining chest, your valuables chest can have a gold block beneath it, and your mining one can have smooth stone beneath it, and if you want to access one, you put a gold block beneath your 2nd one, and if you want the other one, put the other block beneath your 2nd one.
Basically,
Chest 1
Chest 2
If I want chest 1's contents, I place a 2nd chest and put wool under it, and if I want chest 2's contents, I put a bookshelf under my 2nd chest

Ok, so you're basically assigning the chest contents to different blocks? At least that's what I'm getting. So you have 3 chests. One you put on blue wool, the other on green wool. You go away and place the third chest. If you put it on blue wool, you get the contents of the blue chest. If you put it on green wool, you get those contents. Is that kind of what you mean?

If I helped you out I'd really appreciate you giving me a +!

Maybe they could be nether chests or something along those lines.

EXACTLY :biggrin.gif:
It'd probably be easier to have the chests themselves be crafted with dyes. Two chests crafted with the same colour dye will have the same contents.
