Trapped Chest
Trapped Chest looks like storage but emits redstone power while a player has it open.

Description
Trapped Chest is crafted by combining a normal chest with a tripwire hook, producing one redstone-aware container. It stores items exactly like a regular chest and can form a large double version when placed beside another compatible block. The visual difference is subtle: a faint red band around the latch, easy to miss in a busy storage room.
When a player opens it, the block emits redstone power proportional to the number of viewers, up to signal strength fifteen. That signal can trigger lamps, pistons, droppers, TNT traps, alarm bells, or hidden doors. Because the inventory behaviour is otherwise normal, it fits naturally into bases as both utility and misdirection. Builders also use it in puzzle rooms where opening the correct container changes the surrounding mechanism.
