Acquiring the crafting recipe for copper chests requires the player to have a copper chest instead of having it’s ingredients. This means that the player cannot craft copper chests unless they look up the recipe on external sources or have the recipe memorized.
Steps to reproduce:
create a new world in creative mode
get a crafting table, chest and a copper ingot (from creative inventory)
place down and observe the crafting table recipe book
Expected result:
The recipe for copper chests would be visible. The player should’ve gotten the recipe when obtaining either a chest and/or a copper ingot.
Observed result:
The recipe for copper chests is still not visible. for the recipe to show up in the crafting table, the player must obtain a copper chest.
