The Great Chest Eating
The Great Chest Eating is a term referring to a glitch that occurred on December 19, 2024, where anyone who was online before that evening ŊST would have the contents of all chests they loaded erased.
Effects of the event
The bug was first noted at 14:04 ŊST on December 19, 2024[1]. All chests loaded by spook_bag and anyone else who was online at the time would become empty.
At 14:06 ŊST, Fīl noticed that no other chests, including ender chests, were affected by the bug.
According to God, the event was caused by a mixin accidentally replacing instead of extending the functions responsible for loading and saving a chest’s inventory.[2] Following this, all loaded chests simply did not load their inventory and ended up empty as a result, which also deleted their contents from the world save data after the chests were saved back to it. God fixed the bug at 14:30 ŊST the same day.
According to a census taken on December 19, 2024, there were only two server members online during this duration, Fīl and spook_bag. Therefore, the glitch fortunately did not affect a large part of Nguhcraft.
However, following the Great Chest Eating, a certain blue mouse was spotted near the Port of Eras, TTPD Era. This is likely unrelated to the Great Chest Eating, but such a relationship cannot be ruled out given the mouse's glitchy nature.
