Barrels are only supposed to stay closed - however, permanently opened barrels can be made as both a block and item in the current version of the game.

Obtaining

Block Form:

Obtaining an open barrel is simple, as it only takes a couple steps.

1. First, place a barrel.
2. Then, hold right click while not looking at the barrel, and then look at the barrel with it held.

If you follow these steps, the barrel should stay open. It can be left as is for a open barrel or mined to get an open barrel as an item.

Another way to obtain an Open Barrel is to set up a redstone machine that pushes the Barrel with a sticky piston while the barrel is being opened by a player. Do note that when using the second method, it can crash or delete/corrupt a world/server.

Item Form:

From Bedrock Edition beta 1.11.0.1 to Bedrock Edition beta/preview 1.20.60.23, open barrels could be obtained in item form by mining an open barrel.

Additional Information

• It shows as closed when dropped on the ground.
• Placing this item variant results in the barrel being closed.
