Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Control Chest merges

When placing small chests side by side, allow "sneak" to prevent the new small chest from merging with an existing one on either side. I want to be able to place signs above small chests which are dedicated to storing a single item. Large chests are often wasteful in this application.

    This has been added in 1.13 on Java Edition

    If you rotate one chest 90 degrees, they will not merge.  I use this ALL THE TIME in survival.

    While rotating every other chest will work, it looks and feels just plain clumsy. Also, while it is good that this was added to the Java version, the Bedrock version needs to change to match. Please don't make them match by using Bedrock as the model in this case.

    You can also alternate between regular and trapped chests. The latches look slightly different but not too dramatic.

    A simple solution is to just use barrels I found that really easy
