New Annoying bug with the plugin that allows you to open chests anywhere

The plugin that allows you to open chests regardless of what block is on top of them has a buggy interaction when the block on top of them is transparent. The chest remains in an open state, and it isn't just graphical. It causes trapped chests to remain powered even after closing the chest. It appears whatever fake player that is created to open the chest isn't being destroyed/closing the chests when the real player closes the chest. The fact that every time you open a trapped chest it adds one to the redstone signal's strength supports this theory.

This breaks the autosorter we built because we have trapped chest next to hoppers, so once the chest is open, the hopper is permanently locked until the chest is replaced.

If this description of the bug isn't clear enough just shoot me a discord message and I'd be happy to hop in game/discord to demonstrate it for you.
 
I encountered this the other day also, with a hopper next to a trapped chest getting permanently locked. IIRC, this happened on the previous world at one point, too, but then the problem went away (was fixed somehow).
 
Really nothing special about this; it's like 2 lines of code I wrote years ago; so there's no fake player stuff going on. I can look into it. Wonder if 1.9 has anything to do with it, or whether it's always been this way and nobody's been using trapped chests in this way (with an above block there)
 
Thinking back, I was definitely having the same problem in 1.8. I thought it was just hoppers being derpy but now I see that it was the same chest bug that I'm experiencing now.

To clarify, the bug only occurs when there's a transparent block above the chest, like another chest. Does your code only check to see if there's a block above the chest and not if that block is transparent? In vanilla minecraft chests with transparent blocks above them can still be opened.

I believe it does not; just checks that there's anything above the chest. Easy enough to fix.

There's a new bug with your fix. Right-clicking the left chest will open it, while right-clicking the right side will not. So if a double chest has a non-transparent block above one side, you can only open it on the side of the non-transparent block.
