An empty chest can be picked up and returned to inventory by hitting it with any tool, or hitting repeatedly with an empty hand. Chests with any items inside cannot be picked up until emptied; however if a filled chest is hit with an [[Axes|Axe]], [[Pickaxes|Pickaxe]], or [[Hoes|Hoe]], it will be pushed one tile away from the player. If that tile is not valid for item placement, the chest can jump to the nearest acceptable tile, such as behind the player, to a diagonally adjacent tile, or over other items to a valid one.
