Steps to reproduce
- Get a Personal Chest
- Spawn a Creeper next to it
- Creeper explodes, causing the chest and its contents to vanish

that's a pretty good solution, even more so if it fits the vanilla game's handling of this sort of situation. should save a lot of frustration in the long run, thank you for your time and for looking into it
I wouldn't consider it a bug either, but thought I'd report it since it felt like unintended behaviour. Otherwise it'd be quite a punishing mechanic for seemingly no reason, especially given how large their inventories are. As it stands, a creeper in the wrong place might cause players to lose a few hours of progress
Personal chests keep their contents when broken so I don't think this is technically a bug, but I will think about making the chests potentially immune to explosions/not be able to have the item destroyed by the initial explosion given the fact that a normal chest would then drop the contents instead.
The solution I ended up going with as I don't think there is an easy way to only drop the contents into the world if there are some and it would get destroyed is that I made all our blocks that store things (so personal chest, machines, etc) not be able to be destroyed from the initial explosion. Now if a second explosion goes off before you can pick up the item... it will still be able to be lost but at least it should be a bit more forgiving and handled the same way vanilla handles shulker boxes.
