Post Crystal Chests
It's possible that we'll be converting all crystal chests to diamond and then disabling the use of crystal chests.

Some more research has to be done, but for now, stop your chest upgrades at diamond. Because if we do convert crystal to diamond, we won't be refunding the obsidian and glass :-O

Possibly because the display of all the entities inside a Crystal Chest causes server lag?
Especially if over 9000 people use 13 million crystal chests each.
(Numbers may or may not be greatly exaggerated.)

Basically this. Its not clear whether inventory contents are sent in advance regardless of the type of chest (in which case crystal chests wouldn't matter) or they're only sent upon opening chests. If the latter is the case, crystal chests require clients to fetch the entire contents of all of the visible inventories simply to display the item sprites -- a extra amount of work we're not necessarily trying to have the server do.
