Compasses react to the player position and not the chest position when in a chest

I haven't tested this in 1.15.2, but i have in 20w13a. when a compass is inside of a chest, it will point relative to which direction the player is facing. I don't know it this is a bug or on purpose. the photo below is of the same compass, in the same chest, but with me rotating around it ~90 degrees
