  • Protecting a new container (/lockchest).
  • Teleporting to a chest via the new GUI.
  • Temporarily unlocking or permanently unprotecting chests through the GUI.
• Server Economy Control: A great way to add a currency sink and value to protection features.
• Enable/disable and set all costs in config.yml.

🖥️ Brand New /mychests GUI - Your Personal Chest Dashboard!

✨ Enhanced Container Management - More Power to You!

  • 🔓 Temporary Unlock: Grant temporary access to a container. It will automatically re-lock! (Supports Vault costs).
  • ⛏️ Permanent Unprotect (GUI): Remove protection статуs permanently from the GUI (Supports Vault costs & requires permission).
  • ↪️ Back Button: Smoothly navigate back to your main list.
  • Coming Soon: Advanced sharing & renaming options directly from the GUI!

🛠️ PrivateChest Plus v1.2 – Stability & Protection Update

🔒 New Fixes & Improvements

• ✅ Admin Bypass Fixed
  Players with the permission privatechest.admin can now fully access any protected container, as intended.
  This bypass now works for:

  • Opening containers

  • Breaking containers

  • Using /unlockchest

• ✅ Hopper Exploit Patched
  Hoppers and other automated systems (like droppers or minecarts with hoppers) can no longer extract items from protected containers.
  Your items are now 100% safe from indirect theft.

• ✅ Improved Access Logic
  Internal protection checks were improved for:

  • Efficiency

  • Consistency across events

  • Support for future PlaceholderAPI/Vault integrations

• ✅ Codebase Cleanup & Polish
  We removed legacy logic, improved method consistency, and aligned the plugin behavior to match premium expectations.

💡 Notes

• /unlockchest is now safer and does not remove protection — it only allows temporary access based on your unlock-duration setting.

• Double chests, barrels, shulkers, furnaces and more remain fully supported and protected.

🧭 Next Stop: v1.3

• Interactive GUI for /mychests

• Vault economy support (protect containers for a fee)

• PlaceholderAPI placeholders like %owner%, %world%, %x%, etc.

🔥 NEW IN THIS VERSION:

✅ Explosion Protection
TNT, Creepers, and any explosions can no longer destroy protected containers.

✅ Lava & Water Block Placement Protection
Players can no longer place or flow lava/water near protected containers.
Say goodbye to griefing with liquids!

✅ Double Chest Validation
If allow-double-chests: false is set in config.yml, players are blocked from forming double chests.

✅ New Customizable Messages
Added to messages.yml:

• double-chests-not-allowed

• liquid-placement-blocked

✅ Clean Build (no warnings)
Resolved overlapping resource warnings (MANIFEST.MF) in the compiled JAR.

🛠️ INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS
