[MC-52424] When I /fill ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ minecraft:chest in 14w11b it crashes the game.

I cannot reproduce this issue. Are you sending it other parameters or something, or just

/fill ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ minecraft:chest

Cannot reproduce either.
Incomplete without crash report.

I kinda reproduce it. It didn't crash but the FPS dropped quite a lot for about 6 seconds, then it went back to normal.

Edit: I tried it on a superflat world

And I for some reason can not find a way to do this:

/fill ~-3 ~-1 ~-3 ~3 ~1 ~3 minecraft:trapped_chest 2 replace minecraft:barrier

I even can not find a way to let the chest look into a specific direction with the fill command when not using an area:

/fill ~-2 ~ ~ ~-2 ~ ~ chest 0 replace

Bug or my programming skills?
