The Copper Golem cannot open chests when there is a block placed in the following setup:
The Copper Golem is standing directly in front of the chest.
Above the Copper Golem there is one block of air.
Above that air block, there is a solid block.
In this situation, the chest does not open even though there is no block placed directly on top of it. The Copper Golem appears to get “stuck” and is unable to interact with the chest.
This issue does not occur when there is only a block directly above the chest (which is the expected behavior), but specifically happens in the described scenario where there is one block of air between the Golem and the solid block.
Steps to reproduce
Place a chest.
Spawn a Copper Golem in front of the chest.
Place one block of air above the Copper Golem.
Place a solid block above that air block (so the setup is: Golem → 1 block air → solid block).
Wait for the Copper Golem to try opening the chest.
→ Result: The Copper Golem cannot open the chest.
→ Expected: The Copper Golem should be able to open the chest since no block is directly above it.

Can also confirm. It does seem to work if you give the copper golem 2 blocks of air above its head. Also seems to affect destination chests.
