 Description   

This happens from time to time when playing SMP with a friend on my local minecraft server.

The chest seems to remain on the open state (regarding the animation) and closes once I rightclick it to view its inventory, so basically it's inverted. The issue doesn't seem to resolve itself after relogging, so it must be a server-side issue.

It usually happens after playing for a while, after frequently using a chest. Have been able to reproduce this for a few times, so I'll provide a screenshot whenever it happens again.

If you think it's still an issue, please file a new bug report.

Comment by user-3268b (Inactive) [ 19/Feb/22 ]

It is not fixed:

  1. Player 1 opens chest
  2. Player 2 opens chest
  3. Player 1&2 close chest

Chest is now inverted.

Comment by Rickard Åberg [ 03/Jan/17 ]

Yes, it's back again. I haven't played MC for some time but i did a few days ago and noticed that a chest was open when it really wasn't.

Comment by PrOF [ 29/Dec/16 ]

Apparently this is still an issue as there are 2 duplicates reporting the bug for newer versions.
I personally haven't experienced it

See MC-111993 and MC-5124

Comment by Someone 3x7 [ 19/Feb/15 ]

In the background I was downloading about 300gb of video from the security system across the local network. While I was not experiencing any lag or other unusual activity no chests closed the first-time during. Single-player 1.8.2-pre7.

Comment by Rickard Åberg [ 18/Jun/13 ]

It still happens sometimes yes, but it's way better than it used to be.

Comment by BoxFigs [ 18/Jun/13 ]

This isn't fixed.
It's been happening on my server since I created it (1.5.1).

I noticed that it begins with the chest not opening when I right-click it, then it opens when I exit the GUI. It is inverted until I open and close it a few more times and it goes back to normal. When the inversion is occurring, the chest sounds don't play. The sounds play when the chest returns to normal.

Comment by [Mojang] Jeb (Jens Bergensten) [ 23/Jan/13 ]

Updated again... Fixed the issue when it gets stuck in open state if the GUI is closed server-side.

Comment by Tails [ 11/Jan/13 ]

MC-6278 provides a good way of reproducing this.

Comment by Anon Ymus [ 31/Dec/12 ]

Reopenig the chest always fixes it.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 28/Dec/12 ]

Can confirm rare issues in 1.4.6

Comment by Anon Ymus [ 28/Dec/12 ]

I have seen this once in 1.4.6, but it is extremely rare.

Comment by Tenebrae [ 27/Dec/12 ]

I've seen it in 1.4.6, but usually re-opening the chest fixes it again.

Comment by Nathan2055 [ 27/Dec/12 ]

I saw this before in 1.3 SSP on my old computer, haven't seen it on my new one (running 1.4.6).

Comment by Tenebrae [ 24/Nov/12 ]

Still not fixed, didn't know this was that bad :o

Comment by Josh Miller [ 24/Nov/12 ]

This bug isn't fixed. It's still present in 1.4.5 (Windows 7 / 64bit), but it happens more infrequently.

Comment by Joshua Joseph Lefelhocz [ 10/Nov/12 ]

Weird, I remember seeing this in beta, but it was fixed. To see it happening again is weird.

Comment by noblessus [ 06/Nov/12 ]

This wasn't happening to me until I installed 1.4.3(prerelease).

Comment by robert foster [ 04/Nov/12 ]

Only happens to double chests for me. if you stay in its inventory for too long the closing sound plays, but when you exit it's inventory the lid stays open. only started happening in the 1.4.3 pre release for me. single chests don't do it.

Comment by Tenebrae [ 02/Nov/12 ]

Lol. It's getting better and better :]

Comment by Richard Cox [ 02/Nov/12 ]

After leaving a chest open, entering it again and it closes.

/But/ if you're quick enough you can leave it partially closed!

New screen shot attached.

Comment by Tenebrae [ 02/Nov/12 ]

Done as well.

Comment by Talven81 [ 02/Nov/12 ]

Please update Affects Version to 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 prerelease, so when searching for 1.4.3 bugs it will be noticed.

Comment by Thomas Stovell [ 02/Nov/12 ]

This happens to me often, usually only on Tekkit :S

Comment by Tenebrae [ 02/Nov/12 ]

Done

Comment by Richard Cox [ 02/Nov/12 ]

Could the title be updated to remove the "(SMP)" as it is not limited to multiplayer or to survival?

Comment by Sycholic [ 02/Nov/12 ]

Reports still comming in from 1.4.3-pre this still exists reopen pls.

Comment by Ray Herring [ 02/Nov/12 ]

Still seeing this in 1.4.3.

Comment by Simons Mith [ 02/Nov/12 ]

I'm still seeing this in 1.4.3. Although as I'm untidy by nature, I kinda like the ability to leave the odd chest open. Makes a place look lived-in and used. I can generate the problem reasonably reliably by quickly switching between opening and closing several different chests (all at or above eye level in my setup, in case that has a bearing on the issue). Mac OS 10.5.8.

Comment by Joshua [ 30/Oct/12 ]

This bug has been in the game since they added the animation in Beta 1.8

Comment by Talven81 [ 29/Oct/12 ]

One thing I noticed when it happened in the above screen shots I double-right-clicked instead of single. I think there may be a disconnect between the animation and the server sending the client the chest info.

Essentially I double clicked, the chest opened, closed (two animation triggers), then displayed the chest contents (one trigger). At which point the chest was now open when not browsing it, and closed while browsing it.

Comment by Tenebrae [ 29/Oct/12 ]

Funny then that nobody thought of fixing it.

Comment by BillyBob McFrenchFri [ 29/Oct/12 ]

This has been here since the beta 1.8 chest changes

Comment by Kumasasa [ 28/Oct/12 ]

Very old bug, since Minecraft 1.1 or so

Comment by Tenebrae [ 28/Oct/12 ]

Discovered that this happens a lot more often when somebody is already looking in the chest, and then you look in it as well. Every time I did this it remained open and broken.

Comment by Talven81 [ 28/Oct/12 ]

Screenshots of the issue.

Comment by JosJuice [ 26/Oct/12 ]

For me, this happens when I manage to right-click on the chest twice before the chest GUI is displayed (which is usually only possible when the connection to the server is slow).

Comment by Rickard Åberg [ 26/Oct/12 ]

I've had this bug since animated chests were introduced I think.

Comment by llldino [ 25/Oct/12 ]

I agree with jon. Having this glitch too.

Comment by Talven81 [ 25/Oct/12 ]

Possible relation to MC-378

Comment by Chalmes (Jon) [ 25/Oct/12 ]

Had it last night, it might be something to do with moving in range of the chest while someone else has it open. The open state of the chest perhaps isn't sent to your client when you get close, so when the other person closes it, a change open/closed gets sent to client which is now inverted.

Comment by Tenebrae [ 25/Oct/12 ]

That might be it, back then I was the only one using my chests anyway, and now it's me and my brother both sharing the same chests, it has happened 2 times so far.

Comment by Joseph Ruhl [ 25/Oct/12 ]

I've also seen chests glitching in this manner ever since animating chests were introduced. I can't reproduce it on demand, but when it does happen the chest stays open and will not close no matter what. Seems to happen more often when multiple players are accessing the chest at the same time.

Comment by Tenebrae [ 25/Oct/12 ]

Weird, I only noticed this since I started an own little 1.4 private server for me and my brother. Before that I played on a bukkit server, didn't have that issue at any time.

Comment by Liam Fallon [ 25/Oct/12 ]

Seen this since I started playing SMP on 1.2.5
