Minecraft Barrel PNG

The Barrel exactly as it looks in the Minecraft 26.3 inventory, as a transparent PNG. It is the render of the item itself, not a loose texture: what you see in your hand and in chests. In the creative inventory it sits in the “Functional” tab.

Sizes and quality

The Barrel render is 128 × 128 pixels, the size the game draws the item at in the inventory. It scales up by whole numbers to 1024 px with no interpolation, so the edges stay sharp.

Barrel in Minecraft: storage and the fisherman

The barrel is a storage block with 27 slots, the same as a single chest. The difference is that it never joins another barrel into a double one, and nothing can stop it from opening, so you can stack them or tuck them under other blocks freely. Hoppers fill and empty it, and droppers can fill it. Any tool breaks it, an axe being quickest, and it drops its contents when broken.

It is also the fisherman's job site block: an unemployed villager near an unclaimed barrel may become a fisherman and claim it. Villages place up to 3 empty barrels in the fisher cottage. Trial chambers have barrels with loot in the corridors and empty ones under the hoppers at chamber entrances, and abandoned camps hold barrels with loot too.

A few useful details. Water and lava flow around it without affecting it, and while lava can start fires in the air beside it, the barrel itself never burns. It works as fuel, smelting 1.5 items. You can rename its interface in an anvil before placing it. And watch out in the Nether: piglins turn hostile if they see you open or break one.
