Consists of

The bonus chest is a feature that appears near the player's spawn if the "Bonus Chest" option is toggled on the "Create New World" screen. It generates with a semi-random collection of basic items to help the player survive early on and gather necessary resources, including tools, blocks, and food.

Generation

If the "Bonus Chest" option is set to "ON" in the "More World Options..." in Java Edition or "Game Settings" in Bedrock Edition part of the "Create New World" screen, a single bonus chest is generated in the world, no matter how many players there are. It appears somewhere near the player's initial spawn point, with up to four torches generated around it on adjacent blocks.

The Bonus Chest option is not available in hardcore mode, thus making the bonus chest unavailable as well.

In Java Edition, on servers, the bonus chest can be enabled by running the server with the --bonusChest argument.

Construction

Bonus chests contain a single chest surrounded by four torches. The torches may be overridden if the torch locations are obstructed by other blocks such as uneven ground, trees, or leaves, or they may instead float.
