I don't know the [chest] mod, so I don't know if there're problems.

it's from 17 Sep 2014, 14:34, so it's fairly new and I didn't know it

My mod doesn't have a duplicate problem as far as I know.
I don't use the PilzAdam double chest code for it.

thanks,
the folder needs to be called connected_chests (after unpacking the archive if you downloaded it)

Thanks for this nice mod. Each time I start Minetest, I get the messages:

Could not load image "connected_chests_top.png" while building texture
Creating a dummy image for "connected_chests_top.png"

That pair of messages repeats for each connected chest that exists in my world.
The top of each connected chest looks pink on left, green on right (I assume that is the "dummy image" that minetest creates).

Any idea how I might fix this?

Never mind. I fixed it. I edited your Init.lua and replaced the 2 occurrences of the character string "connected_chests_top.png" with "default_chest_top.png". The result looks ok to me, even though there is the line in the middle of the top, the front that your designed still lets me know it is a connected chest, and the chest looks nice. Thanks again for this mod.

Sorry, l used a symbolic relative link for the top image, l think l used it to support texture packs. l copied the side texture, it should work now.
