Does this mean that regular chests can be broken so items will drop from the chests ?

There's going to be a few "I understands" in this post. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I understand that TNT destroys ordinary chests AND their contents.

I understood from what @Kainzo said at the community meeting that chests will regenerate with their items in them.

The looting potential, then, will depend on whether the dirt over the chest regenerates before or after the chest...

Anyway, this is what is being tested out on Siege Test. Can anyone comment on what's being experienced when TNT is used there?

One question for me: Will tnt hurt players inside non pvp regions i.e. graveyards. I can see people setting up tnt cannons by the graveyards so they can take down people inside them.

No, as I ( Hopefully correctly heard ) its coded they will just disapear ( like all other blocks ) and reapear with the items intact

What is the timer on the regen (if we're allowed to know) ? Is it set or has some randomness in it ? The TnT has to be placed correct so limited uses inside enemy regions correct ? Basically this will allow raiders into residences and towns by bypassing the outer wall, but once inside they will not be able to blow holes in interior walls or buildings. Am I understanding this correctly ? and is the area affect square ? Would it be possible to blow the covering block off a chest (with luck / skill) while keeping the chest intact ?

Starts after 60s, takes a variable amount of time to regenerate completely.

From my tests on siege, you are right. Regardless of what's in the chest. If it is blow up via TNT, everything within the chest will be destroyed then regenerated (to stop duping I think). However, it is indeed a case of 'can I open the chest before the dirt regents' or 'can I just blow off the dirt without destroying the chest'. I for one can't think of a possible solution other than not allowing chests to be regenerated.

The use flag on Residence will be enabled on PVP.
