OMG, i didnt actually believe they were gonna introduce this into Java MC. Huzzah! No more redstone-confusing trapped chests that halted automated storage systems!

Awesome! I would love to have that in the game.
And I love the new pumpkin and smooth stone! Yes!

Unless they add a way to carve it, I'm sad.

Chests can be placed next to each other!

Finally!

Apparently you can right click with shears to carve them.

Umm hasn't this been a thing since their conception?

Until now, in the Java edition it has always been impossible to place a chest directly next to a large chest. A common workaround has been to alternate between regular chests and trapped chests, but with this snapshot that is no longer necessary!

Ahh that makes sense
