Vault – Wiki Guide

A vault is a block found in trial chambers. It dispenses loot when unlocked using a trial key. Each vault can only be unlocked once per player.

Breaking

A vault can be broken but it does not drop itself as an item and takes an extended amount of time to break. It can only be obtained via the creative menu or the /give command.

Natural generation

In trial chambers, vaults can generate naturally in all rooms that also contain trial spawners, as well as the entrance room. Blocks of copper and chiseled copper generate in a 3×3 area underneath every vault.

Usage

When a player is within 4.0 blocks of the vault, it becomes active and begins emitting flame particles inside of it. If the player has not unlocked the vault before, an stream of orange particles will flow from the player to the vault’s keyhole when the player is within 4.5 blocks. The vault will become inactive if there are no players within 4.5 blocks who have not unlocked the vault.

When active, a vault idly cycles between items once every second, visually displaying the current item inside the block. Each time the vault cycles to a new item, the item is randomly chosen from the loot table. Small orange particles also appear in front of the vault as if they were being sucked into the keyhole.

When a trial key is used on a vault, it will eject items. Items are ejected one stack at a time with a burst of particles for each stack.

When the vault is done ejecting items, it becomes inactive until another player approaches it.

Each vault can only be unlocked once per player. The vault is intended to reward each player for completing each trial chamber one time. This gives every player in a world the opportunity to find their own loot without having to travel substantial distances to find undiscovered loot at a fresh structure.

Each vault keeps track of up to 128 unique players that have opened the vault. If another player opens the vault, the first known player who opened the vault is forgotten, and can open the vault again.

Loot

The vault uses the trial chambers reward loot table by default. This loot table is temporary and will be completely revised as development continues^[1]. When activated, the vault will eject the loot of one trial chambers reward container. This means it will eject items 2-6 times.

In Java Edition and Bedrock Edition, each trial chambers reward container contains 2–6 item stacks, with the following distribution:
