Redstone/UI Toggleable Copper Chest

Recently the copper chest was announced for the third game drop of 2025. It's a great idea, with the copper golem being able to take items from the copper chest and organize them, but the copper chests also look great for decoration. The copper chests should have a toggle between input and output. If the chest is input, items are put IN it, but if it's output, items are taken out. This would make the copper chests more feasible for building, as well as determining when copper golems should grab items from the copper chests, since right now they check every now and then.

This feature could be a toggle within the UI for the chest, but also be powered by redstone. I believe if it is powered by a redstone signal it should switch the toggle, kind of like how copper bulbs work. If the chest is switched to output, it can have a different texture with a light on it to signal output, and be turned off if it is switched to input.

    for anyone interested in this post that are confused if you change the mode using a ui button, the input mode could be enabled by a redstone input ex putting a redstone block under the chest

    It would be useful for moving items around. A great addition to this idea would be to make the copper chest toggleable with redstone. Unpowered = output, powered = input. Please vote this post and comment up, I feel this would be a great addition to redstone.

    Maybe change the title to mention redstone inputs. This will gain attention and more votes for what I believe will be an awesome feature.

    This would be awesome if there was a toggle in the chest gui but it could also be done through powering the chests with redstone.

    I think it can be done simmilarly to copper bulbs, i.e. copper chests shouldn't require constant powering to be inactive for copper golems

    You should move this into upcoming game drop features. This category is for posts concerning the chase the skies drop.

    Interestingly I never put it in chase the skies. I had it in upcoming game drops.
