Confirmation Status: Unconfirmed

 Description   

How to reproduce:
Build a Double Chest.
Try and place a chest on an adjacent block on the same level.

What I expected:
Chest is placed.

What happened:
Chest was not placed.

I know it has been like this forever, but they made chests more distinguishable since before, so I figure placing them side by side shouldn't be a problem.

Well, this was solved quite well by trapped chests! I'm very happy with that fix. Now you can even have single chests side by side.

Comment by Brian R. [ 17/Dec/12 ]

The game checks to see if there is a chest to the right of any given chest, and connects them accordingly. If there was a third chest in a row, the last two would both look like the right side of the chest and the combined inventory would be 9 rows tall. The code for checking for adjacent chests is not configured to support directly adjacent double chests, and it would be extremely difficult to change it to support this. The code only checks on the XZ plane so vertically stacked chests are no issue.

It already checks graphically whether or not another chest is next to it. How do you think they connect?

This may look simple for a human, but to make a program understand which chest should be linked (doubled) is extremely complex and may create many bugs.

Not impossible, but I don't thinks it's worth to change this behaviour.

Strange, seems more like a bug to me, since you can open stacked chests (like Daniele said), as well as chests with transparent blocks above them.
If that can be considered as a bug, MC-378, then I'd say this is a bug.

If the chest stacking were to be fixed, then I'd like this to be fixed. It makes bulk storage... bulky.

This works as intended, and is more of a suggestion to change that behaviour. This place is for bug reports only. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Comment by Daniele Carbone [ 09/Nov/12 ]

Its pretty funny. You can open them while they're stacked on up, and not by the side
