I will now mark this as resolved. For 2.0.0, this can still happen but is very improbable.

I have not worked on it yet, and it is not a priority either frankly. It causes no duplication glitch or anything, just some messy visuals.

Ah ok. Gotcha.

Well... may I ask how you discovered this? When I wrote this "fix" for the situation where the player dies while carrying, I knew that things like this could happen, but I went with it anyway because it's such a rare case and frankly I don't really see a better way to do it.
I guess I could search for a larger area to place the chest, but that also doesn't solve the problem, just make it more unlikely.
What do you suggest?

Well, I feel like it's really just cheese for the sake of cheese... I guess it could replace a block? Or, if it's possible, just make the chests not connect? I don't really know, like you said, it's more of an edge case... (I was hoping you'd have some ideas lol)

mhh I think replacing a block could lead to even worse bugs, like destroying unbreakable blocks or something like that. I guess I'll just increase the search range and try to find a better spot to place it. Did you find this bug by just playing or by going through the code?

By playing, main intent was to see if it could be cheesed...

I guess I'll just increase the search range and try to find a better spot to place it.

Update?

I have not worked on it yet.
