'cause it'll be to op.. If you know you are not going to win a fight, you can eat a golden apple. Place the enderchest. Store your stuff, or the most important onces, and get killed without losing your items / items that are expensive.That is your opinion, but @Snap and me have another opinion. An enderchest is the same as a normal chest, but only you can take your stuff. Why should we make this price so high?
