Why chests are so important in terraria?
If you have played Minecraft you may know that you can easily remove your chest by using any item when the chest is stacked with items. But in terraria, if your chest has at least 1 item in it, you can’t destroy it even if you put dynamite to that chest.
Also, you can place items to a chest or to your inventory easily by pressing the left mouse button + shift key on the item while you are opening the chest.
If you want to loot all items in a chest select “loot items” when you are opening a chest. If you want to put everything in your inventory to a chest you can select ‘’deposit all’’ when you are opening it.
If you select ‘quick stack’ while opening a chest, it will stack the same items from your inventory to the chest.
If select ‘Restock’ it will do the opposite of ‘quick stack’. That means you can fill your inventory with the same items in your chest. If you select the ‘sort items’ option, it will place your items best to worst in the chest. Also, you can rename your chest by selecting ‘rename’
If you have a lot of items in terraria, I suggest you make chests and stack your items by categorizing them.
