Barrels are tile entity storage blocks generating in villages.

Obtaining[edit]
Natural generation[edit]
Barrels can generate naturally in fisher cottages in plains, savanna, and snowy tundra villages.[Java Edition only]
Usage[edit]
Barrels have the inventory of a chest. They have a GUI similar to that of chests as well, but can only be accessed in spectator mode; they can be filled by droppers and both filled and emptied by hoppers. Barrels currently do not drop the items they contain when they are broken.
