Chest Preview


Compatibility

Platform Support
Spigot Full support
Paper Full support + async chunk loading
Purpur Full support
Pufferfish Full support
Folia Full support

Minecraft 1.18 – 1.21.x and 26.1 / 26.1.1 (Mojang's new versioning). Server type and version are detected automatically at startup.


Legendary Items


Chest Tiers

Tier Chance Guardians Guardian Type
Common 50% 1 Zombie
Rare 35% 2 Skeleton
Legendary 15% 3 Wither Skeleton

All chances are configurable. Guardians can be disabled entirely.


Spawn System

  • Distance from 0,0: 400–2000 blocks (configurable)
  • Height range: Y 50–200 (configurable)
  • Surface exclusions: block chests from spawning on water, lava, ice, leaves, and more
  • Auto-despawn after 30 minutes if unopened (configurable)
  • Batch spawning — spawn multiple chests per interval with a delay between each
settings:
  chest-count-per-interval: 3   # spawn 3 chests at once
  chest-spawn-delay-seconds: 5  # 5 s between each

Pre-Open Timer

Chests start locked after spawning. The first player to right-click starts a configurable countdown visible in chat and BossBar. Only after it ends can anyone open the chest — giving everyone a chance to run for it.

  • Countdown messages sent only to players within a configurable radius
  • Chest-disappear timer starts fresh after the chest is opened
  • Fully optional — disable with pre-open-timer.enabled: false
pre-open-timer:
  enabled: true
  duration-seconds: 30
  notify-radius: 20.0

Chest Protection Zone

Blocks around an active chest are protected from breaking and placing by non-op players. The zone is removed automatically when the chest disappears or is opened.

  • Uses real WorldGuard regions when WorldGuard is installed
  • Falls back to built-in BlockBreakEvent / BlockPlaceEvent blocking otherwise
  • Radius is configurable
chest-protection-zone:
  enabled: true
  radius: 5   # 11×11 area around the chest

Protection Plugin Integration

Chests never spawn inside claimed or protected areas. Detected automatically at startup — no extra configuration required.

Supported: WorldGuard · GriefPrevention · GriefDefender · Lands


Custom Loot Editor


Custom Loot Editor

Open with /putintothechest. Configure loot visually without touching any YAML.

  • Drag and drop items directly into the chest GUI
  • Toggle between single (27 slots) and double (54 slots) chest
  • Drop rate control: All · 1/2 · 1/3 · 1/4 … 1/10
  • Per-tier configuration (Common / Rare / Legendary)
  • Two-step reset confirmation — items drop at your feet on reset
  • Preserves enchantments, custom names, lore, and NBT data

Drop Rate Examples

Rate Items Saved Items per Spawn
1/3 (default) 30 10 random
1/2 30 15 random
All 30 All 30

Summoner Apples

Four distinct apple types, each forcing a specific chest tier or picking one at random. All four can be given via command, obtained through /getlegendaryitems, and configured to drop inside chests independently.

Command Result
/giveapple random <player> Random-tier chest
/giveapple common <player> Always Common
/giveapple rare <player> Always Rare
/giveapple legendary <player> Always Legendary

World Apple Drop

When enabled, a Summoner Apple spawns as a physical item in the world with each chest. Players see the coordinates in chat and race to pick it up. The item never despawns until collected.

world-apple-drop:
  enabled: false
  spawn-method: near-chest   # near-chest | near-player | with-chest
  radius: 15

BossBar

Optional HUD showing next chest countdown or active chest information. Switches between three states automatically:

  • Yellow — countdown to next spawn (shows during last N minutes)
  • Pink — pre-open countdown (first player activated the chest)
  • Green — active chest: tier, coordinates, time until despawn
  • Grey — chest was opened, showing despawn timer
features:
  bossbar:
    enabled: false   # opt-in
    countdown-show-minutes-before: 5

Permission-Based Broadcasts

All announcements check individual permission nodes. On servers where all permissions are denied by default, grant the spawnchest.notify.* nodes to the default group.

Permission Controls Default
spawnchest.notify.spawn Spawn announcement + title true
spawnchest.notify.coordinates Coordinates in announcement true
spawnchest.notify.disappear Disappear announcement true
spawnchest.notify.countdown Countdown warnings true
spawnchest.notify.bossbar BossBar visibility true

Players without spawnchest.notify.coordinates still receive the spawn message — coordinates are just omitted.


Legendary Items

Nine unique items with special abilities. Entirely optional — disable the whole system or individual items in config.

Item Ability Cooldown
Dragon Slayer +4 damage, ignites targets 3s
Master Pickaxe Auto-smelt, 50% double drops 1s
Titan Axe Tree felling, +3 combat damage 4–6s
Void Shovel 3×3 area excavation, auto-collect 5s

Guardian Bow Double shot, homing arrows 2s
Book of Ancient Wisdom Enchant all gear in inventory One use
Phoenix Feather Auto-resurrect, passive fire immunity 5 min
Poseidon's Trident Lightning on hit, rain aura 10s

All items include Mending and max-level enchantments. All cooldowns, damage values, and behaviours are configurable.
