If player use searching, all container around him will generate items by their loot table, even player in spectator mode.

1. Run command /setblock ~ ~ ~ chest{LootTable:"minecraft:chests/end_city_treasure"}
2. Open your inventory and press Y on an item.
3. Run command on that chest /data get block ~ ~ ~
4. You will see {LootTable:""} nbt is disappeared and instead with {Items:[]}, which means the loot table has been generated before someone open the chest.

Please add a config to control whether searching can generate loot table. And whether it's ture of false, spectator player can never generate loot table.

I wanted to ask something similar. I am concerned that this mod could be exploited to find generated chests. This wouldn't be a problem if chests whose loot hasn't been generated yet would be ignored.
