I made a single-biome world in Minecraft, a "End Highlands" biome. I used the seed "pollinating sandboxes" (hashes to 0) and spawned right next to an end city. I entered it and then saw an end ship nearby. I spectated the shulker guarding the elytra after having opened both chests once, to look what's inside. I watched a while. When the shulker suddenly turned around and shortly directly looked at the chest the crosshair in the middle became visible. When the shulker looked at the chest again I quickly right-clicked and the inventory opened, although the chest's contents were locked in their slots.
The recording was made with the Ubuntu-built-in key combination Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R.
I have slightly modified the JVM arguments but only to give MC mor memory. When I installed a new, completely unaltered instance of MC, the behaviour was the same.

I couldn't interact with any other interactive blocks and portals didn't teleport me - so I thought I wasn't supposed to be able to open interact with chests...
And when I tried it with the second instance I tried to open the chests first-time from the shulker's point of view, without opening them before - and got a little red text at the bottom of the screen, saying that I couldn't open the chest because the contents haven't been loaded. Is that intentional? I didn't even know that chest's contents aren't loaded before opening them, I thought otherwise because when you stack filled chests into each other they produce lag.
@Stehlampe2020, this is intentional. You aren't really opening the chest, instead you are seeing the contents inside of the chest. The reason you weren't able to see the contents in the other chest was because the loot inside hadn't generated yet. If you were to go back into creative/survival and open the chest to load the loot inside, you can then open that chest in spectator.
I don't quite understand the issue here. Aren't you supposed to be able to open chests in spectator?
