2. Add Items to make a Trapped Chest

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a trapped chest, place 1 chest and 1 tripwire hook in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When making a trapped chest, it is important that the chest and tripwire hook are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 chest in the first box and 1 tripwire hook in the second box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a trapped chest.
