I am creating infinite chest and I dont want to get items that are in chest when destroyed. I am using defines.events.on_player_mined_entity but that buffer inventory only contains chest itself and I cannot clear items that was in chest.

Thanks, but its strange that buffer does not contain items from inventory

Code? Or finished chest? For code i just grabbed steel-chest prototype modified picture and added one property to it.

Edit: ohh you meant my old code. I will try to get it back because i deleted it but maybe

Have you looked at the "infinity-container" entity type? It's a chest that can spawn infinite items and you can set it to not give items back when mined via a setting in the prototype.
