Differences with the chest
Like its older counterpart, the barrel is made of wood and can hold up to 27 items. Both occupy a single block, but any similarity ends there, as the barrel cannot be combined with another so its space will always be the same. An advantage of chests is that they are more convenient to order.
Create a barrel in Minecraft requires a little more wood than the cratebut nothing too expensive. On its upper face (standing) it shows a lid that disappears with use and on the side it has a texture of wood panels.
The most important difference is that since it doesn't have a hinged lid, it does not require free space on it to function.
Steps to make a barrel in Minecraft
You can get barrels naturally generated in the villages that they have a fisherman, but if you catch them you will leave a simple villager without his means of work. If this disturbs your conscience, you also have the option to create your own barrel in Minecraft by following these simple steps:
Get the wood
Get a good ax and go for the wood, any kind is fine, the more there is the better, but with 3 stumps it is enough to make a single rod.
Make the pieces
Once you have your logs, you need to turn them into wood, this is accomplished by simply placing a log on the processing grid. With this procedure you will get 4 units of wood for each of your logs, making it with all three you will have a total of 12 wood cubes.
You will also have need wooden plates, which you will get with these cubes you just made. To do this, arrange 3 wooden units in a horizontal line on a production table, with this you will get 6 wooden slabs, but you will only need 2.
If instead of the Java Edition you find yourself in the Bedrock version, you will need to replace the woods with wooden sticks. In this case, on the grid, you should only place 2 woods, one above and one just below, and thus obtain 4 sticks.
You already have all the pieces needed to make a barrel in Minecraft, you just need to have them and make it.
Assemble your rod.
Now with all the pieces, you need to place them in the following way on the crafting table. For easy location, view the production grid by assigning it a number from 1 to 9, left to right and top to bottom.
If you are in the Java Edition you have to place the wooden cubes in positions 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9. Then you will need to place the wooden plate in positions 2 and 8, leaving 5 empty, with this they already got your keg.
Uses of the barrel
After making a barrel in Minecraft, there are some cool things you can do with it, these are its secrets:
