Crate (HD)

Type:	Object
Function:	Contains items
Source:	Generated randomly on any level
Damage:	1 (Thrown)
Weight:	Heavy

Crates are an item in Spelunky HD.
They can be found randomly generated in any area of the caves, specifically in small alcoves, surrounded by at least three other tiles. When they are damaged or opened (by pressing up + action while holding one), they are destroyed and leave a randomly selected item in their place.

Contents

Crates contain various types of items, and most commonly contain Bombs or Ropes. More useful items, such as Jetpacks, are significantly rarer.

The contents of a crate are pre-determined at random with the start of the run, as they are part of the cave's generation seed.

Multiplayer Deathmatch

The Crates found in multiplayer deathmatches follow different rules. Unlike those in adventure mode, the possible contents of deathmatch crates can be decided by players before starting the game, and may include items not found in adventure mode crates, such as the Shield, Royal Jelly, and the Crysknife.

Conversely, certain items typically found in crates do not normally spawn during a deathmatch, being Bomb Bags, Rope Piles, Parachutes, Compasses, Spring Shoes, Spike Shoes, and Spectacles.

Additionally, all selected items in deathmatch have an equal chance of appearing, making 'rarer' items appear more often.

Due to a bug, Crates in deathmatch that were spawned inside water as part of a map instead contain contents consistent with crates in adventure mode, with the same odds.
