Hey everyone!

We're thrilled to roll out PrivateChest Plus v1.3, a feature-packed update designed to give you even more control and flexibility over your protected containers! This version introduces long-awaited economy features and a brand-new way to manage your private chests.

  • Configurable Costs: Easily set prices for actions like:
    • 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!

  • Managing your protected containers has never been easier! The new /mychests command opens a sleek and intuitive interface.
  • At a Glance: View all your protected chests, barrels, shulkers, and more, complete with world, coordinates, and sharing status.
  • Easy Navigation: Built-in pagination for players with lots of protections.
  • Quick Actions:
    • Teleport (Left-Click): Instantly teleport to any of your protected containers (supports Vault costs!).
    • Actions Menu (Right-Click): Access a dedicated submenu for more options on each container.

Enhanced Container Management - More Power to You!

  • Interactive Actions Submenu: Right-clicking a container in /mychests now opens up:
    • 🔓 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!
  • New Command: /unprotectchest
    • Need to quickly remove protection from a container you're looking at? Use the new /unprotectchest command for instant, permanent unprotection.

We're committed to making PrivateChest Plus the best premium protection solution available. These new features are a big step in that direction, offering both enhanced utility for your players and greater control for server owners.

Stability & Protection Update

🛠️ PrivateChest Plus v1.2 – Stability & Protection Update

    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 protectionit 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.
