📖About PrivateChestFree

🔐 PrivateChest - Complete Container Protection System

PrivateChest is a lightweight yet powerful container protection plugin that lets players secure their chests, barrels, and shulker boxes with personal passwords. No complicated land-claim systems needed — just simple, secure, and optimized protection for survival servers, SMPs, and factions!


✨ Core Features

🔒 Password Protection System

  • Lock chests, trapped chests, barrels, and all 17 shulker box variants
  • Secure SHA-256 password encryption with salt
  • Only the owner can access protected containers
  • Automatic double chest detection and protection

🛡️ Advanced Security

  • Explosion Protection: TNT, Creepers, and other explosions cannot destroy locked containers
  • Hopper Protection: Blocks hoppers, droppers, and dispensers from bypassing security
  • Block Placement Protection: Prevents players from placing automated extraction blocks near protected containers
  • Configurable Hopper Access: Optional setting for servers that want automated sorting systems

🤝 Trust System

  • Share container access with other players without revealing your password
  • /trust <player> - Grant access to specific players
  • /trust list - View all trusted players
  • /untrust <player> - Remove access from a player
  • /untrust all - Remove all trusted players at once
  • Trusted players receive notifications when accessing shared containers

🏷️ Container Renaming

  • Give your locked containers custom names (up to 16 characters)
  • /renamecontainer <name> - Set a custom name
  • /renamecontainer remove - Remove custom name
  • Smart validation for name compatibility

📊 Flexible Limit System

  • Basic Limits: Set a global limit for all container types
  • Granular Limits: Configure different limits per container type (chests, barrels, shulker boxes)
  • Permission-Based: Fine-tune limits with permissions like privatechest.limit.chest.10
  • Unlimited option available for VIP players

🪧 Sign Protection (Alternative Method)

  • Lock containers by placing a sign with [Private] on the first line
  • No password required — ownership-based protection
  • Works alongside password protection

🧩 Developer API

PrivateChest offers a simple API for developers to integrate with protected containers:

import me.tuplugin.privatechest.api.PrivateChestAPI;

// Check if a block is locked
boolean isLocked = PrivateChestAPI.isLocked(block);

// Check if a player owns a block
boolean isOwner = PrivateChestAPI.isOwner(block, player);

// Lock a container programmatically
PrivateChestAPI.lockBlock(block, player, "password");

// Unlock a container
PrivateChestAPI.unlockBlock(block);

// Get the owner UUID
UUID owner = PrivateChestAPI.getOwner(block);

🛠️ Installation

  1. Download the JAR and place it in your /plugins folder
  2. Start or reload your server
  3. Edit config.yml and messages.yml to customize
  4. Done! All players can start protecting their containers

🌍 Multilingual Support

PrivateChest is fully translatable! Edit messages.yml and config.yml to translate all messages to any language. The default language is English, but you can easily adapt it to fit your server's style and community.
