Chest 1 Disappeared

IGN(In Game Name): KariStar86
Bug: Items in one row of /chest disappeared
Time/Date: Around 11:30 p.m. Eastern time (pre-Daylight Savings), March 8, 2014
Steps to reproduce: Use /chest? This is the first time it has happened to me.
Evidence: I don't know

I just put most of my inventory into /chest 1, 2, and 3 to cancel a bunch of items from the vshop and sell them at the admin shop. I've used it several times but usually don't leave items in there for very long, preferring physical chests or enderchests instead.

One or two minutes later, immediately after selling the items, I went to retrieve my items. The ones in /chest 2 and /chest 3 were there, but /chest 1 was completely empty. I lost an Efficiency V diamond pick, a Fortune III Unbreaking III iron pick, and several other items. I have seen references to a /chest bug, but not for a while. Edit: And the one that's in Pending now refers to a very different bug. Is there any way to get these back, or should I start over?

 

Thank you for this information but, /chest is a constant issue and when you store items in there you always take a risk. My word of advice: store items in /chest and while you're still online transfer them to a solid and physical chest. Rollbacks and other lag related occurrences can cause this to happen.
