You know those chests you find throughout the world that have items like apples in them?

Why does EVERYONE but me find anything in them?! I have played PoC for 3 years and NOT ONE of the 3000+ chests I've found had anything. What am I doing wrong?! I've looked in places where no one else has, found nothing in chests, waited for spawn to reset and checked the chest that should have reset, nothing in it, ffs I traveled to 7000:'-45600 and found NOTHING in those chests. It is extremely frustrating. Someone tell me why the chests are empty, because I know for a fact someone else dien't take them.

Those Chests usually don't have anything in them. I believe that those chests don't actually have anything in them since even in newly set up Private Maps where I set it to only allow me to join, there's nothing in any chest. Nothing in the Underground Dungeon, Abandoned Mineshaft, or Stronghold Library chests either. It seems like The PoC Terrian was originally created on a MineCraft PC world that used MCEdit or WorldEdit(Which explains some of the strange terrain spots or copied structure shapes, or the fact that Mob Spawner blocks still generate in PoC, even though a Block ID for them doesn't exist in PoC yet, causing them to be update game blocks), and then was Transported to PoC Files, and certain blocks or NBT chest value wasn't able transfered over, thus causing all chests either placed by the original builders of the terrain, or the Underground structures below that they didn't bother doing anything too to not contain any loot in PoC. On their possible original MineCraft Map where they made the terrain, the chests may of had loot in them(or the Natural Underground Structure chests would've had loot in them at least), but when transfered into PoC, NBT value must've been removed either intentionally, or unintentionally. But it should be something the Solverlabs should improve on, fixing the chests, and the strange glitchy parts of the Abandoned Mineshafts missing planks, Making Mob Spawners an Actual thing, and parts of the Strongholds where the End Portal Frames are missing, Stronghold Libraries are empty except the cobwebs, the doors sometimes being replaced with stone, and chests in a Stronghold's "Store Rooms" and "Chest Corridor Rooms" are missing, along with a lot of other strange problems with the Dungeons, Abandoned Mineshafts, and Strongholds.

BlueTangs Rock3, also if the PoC Terrian was originally created on a MineCraft PC world using MCEdit or WorldEdit, it would've had to been in a MineCraft 1.7 world, as the Underground has no Granite, Andesite, or Diorite, there's Savannahs and Roofed Forests in more farther out areas of the Servers, though Acaica and Dark Oak leaves&wood doesn't exist yet, thus having those trees consisting other tree's wood and leaves, the original terrain builders didn't seem to have the need of making something for an ocean monument. However in MineCraft 1.7, a great variety of MineCraft's biomes were added in that update, as well as all the various flower types. When it comes to Natural PoC Terrian, there's no block in it that was added in MineCraft past 1.7, in PoC there are a few things in PoC's Survival Multiplayer Server that are in things after 1.7 like rabbits, but that's way easier to add to the server, than going into PoC's terrain files, and adding something like Granite/Andesite/Diorite in the ground or something like that.

players probably put their items in those chests, or the developers could've put something in some of those chests, but probably only a few of the chests.

as pretty much none of the Natural Chests I've found from Underground Structures, Surface custom structures, or random chests lying around in the middle of nowhere in either the Main Survival Multiplayer Server, or even in my Singleplayer Private Maps seem to have any loot in them.

From what i have seen, all of the temples above 1000 will be empty. You must find 1 below the 1000s and check them. If they are empty, i suggest checking every 1 or 2 to see if they respawn
