Chest Troubleshooting

Dated chest: 2 opens with preview, 1 without — first open shows read-only preview, second open gives loot. Users report "can't take items" on first open — this is by design
Default_Year needed for year-spanning ranges — e.g. Dec 25→Jan 3 needs Default_Year set to the start year (2026 for 25.12-03.01)
Sneaking blocks chest interaction — players holding Shift can't open Winter chests. This prevents accidental block placement
InvalidChestDateException from corrupted sign dates — break the sign and recreate with valid DD.MM format
Items can't be taken from preview inventory — all clicks are cancelled in preview mode. Open the chest a second time to loot
