 Description   

When playing in my survival world, i tired to open a chest while standing above it and it didn't open. I expected it to open, similarly to how it does in the PC version. But this does not happen.
Steps To Reproduce:
1. Stand at 1 level higher than a chest where you are looking down at the top.
2. Try to open.
3. Nothing happens.
Included picture of how i found bug.

This was marked as "work as intended" but you guys literally just fixed it

No, its not a bug in java. Some features are just different across platforms.

Does that mean it's actually a bug in the Java Edition?

This has been confirmed by the developers as 'Working as Intended'

I think it should open, if we say it's 'bug', it's because we do not want to, right!

Comment by Beta Tester [ 11/Sep/16 ]

I don't think it should be removed I mean hasn't it been like this for several versions? I think it would've been removed by now

In the Java edition, only cats can sit on chests and prevent you from opening them. I'm not sure if the PE devs think that the same should apply to all mobs or not.

This is a bug? I thought this was a feature. I hate it and am happy to hear its fixed but its weird that its a bug. I thought it was even in the update notes and everything

Still an issue on 0.14.3 and relates to MCPE-11000

Comment by AC4 [ 26/Nov/15 ]

I actually like it. It makes minecraft more realistic

This bug has been fixed and it should be implemented in the next release.
