[0.12.8] Items between chests after chest explosion

[joon]

Hi I had a chest explosion earlier and cleaned up most of the stone on the ground. Later I found this one line of stone between the chests when I was removing removing the chests, see picture below.

This is because chests have a collission area that is slightly less than a tile. it is a problem that has existed for a long time, and I'm not sure it's an actual bug.

That is correct. If you turn on the collision rectangles you'll see that the chests have sufficient room between them to allow the item to be placed without colliding - that's working as intended.

ok fair enough but the strange thing was that all the chests were in the area of the item explosion but only that 1 row between the chests

It's just a coincidence that the drop position increment happened to hit the exact position between those chests that didn't collide with the chests The drop works in a spiraling outwards pattern changing the position by a fixed amount each time it tries to drop. You can observe this by dropping items on the ground using q 1 at a time and watching where they land.
