BattleChestEvent
Intro
BattleChestEvent was originally created for a fun event on my server. You can place a chest anywhere in the world and open an automated event where people will have to get to the chest and they can take the items out from inside of it. It is easy to set up and has simple commands that are easy to use and understand.
Features
- Open a chest event anywhere in the world
- Set a time until the chest event opens
- Edit the items inside the chest in real time
- Easy to use commands
Commands

/bce set | Set the location of a chest. It will put all the items in your inventory into the chest and place it at the location of your feet | battlechestevent.admin.edit |

Help
You can ask me questions in real time on irc when I'm on. You can usually find me in #battleplugins, #bukkit, or #bukkitdev in irc.esper.net. I will also answer any Bukkit related questions that may not have to do with BattleChestEvent specifically. It is also perfectly fine to come online to chat.
Another location where I can be found would be the Battlecraftpvp.net teamspeak. Just enter the IP battlecraftpvp.net and send a PM to "Ducks" .. If I don't reply in either location it would mean I am not at my computer. At that point you should just shoot me a private message.

This allows certain functionality to be included to talk with the http:battleplugins.com website for pasting config files by in game command, and in the future potentially error logs. Alongside this functionality certain statistics are also collected.

I code these plugins as a hobby, however every donation helps. If you like what I'm doing feel free to send me a donation.
I like.
when i type bce set, all that happens is it says /bce in the chat window and nothing happens......
@Paulsessor
That's a worldguard flag
Can you place them in WorldGuarded regions with them be able to open them?
@pookeythekid
I'll add chest directions :)
Idea! This could easily be used with a combination of other custom plugins for a HungerGames server. I'm so coming here once I get mine in the making. Thanks for making this plugin. : P
Edit: Could you find a way to make a command where you can set a BCE chest where an existing chest is? I don't want all my chests facing in one direction when they're created (since the plugin will place the item ID of a chest, but it'd be impossible to specify the direction unless there was more to the command).
@kahlilnc
Auto regeneration can be done using BattleScheduler

PvP can be done with WorldGuard... I can't make an area PvP allow on a no-pvp server.
@Minecraftxnoob
@lDucks
What he means is, he has PvP disabled on his server. He wants the chest to auto generate as well by them selves. And when they do there will be a radius of PvP enabled... I guess :D
@lDucks
Well, your server makes you have to set the chest, the other one i seen automatically places somewhere random.
@Minecraftxnoob
Still sounds very possible with worldguard
@lDucks
Woops, i'm sorry. I wasn't clear with what i was saying. I meant for BCE in a 50 block radius of the chest pvp is enabled. and players can fight if there are more than one person there!
@Minecraftxnoob
Use worldguard?
lDucks, you think you can add a addition to the plugins. In like a set radius set in the config, pvp is enabled. Players can battle it out! Basically that simple.
@Yolju
I have to get fraps working then I can make a video, but let me try to explain it thoroughly..
You enter /bce set name
What that command does is it adds a chest with everything in your inventory to a list at the location you're standing. So when you type /bce open name 1 it will open check name in one minute.
Hey, I dont think I am doing this correctly. I use the command /bce set, i try to add the location, then when that didn't work I assumed it was something I had to name, "/bce set 1" that didnt work either. While I was messing with the commands, I was also trying them with and without a previously placed chest. Yet either way I wasn't successful.
Maybe a simple tutorial or walkthrough or even an example would greatly help me. I would love to use your plugin, its so raw, yet so simple. It'd be great for what I'm trying to create on my server.
Sometimes when you think you've explained it perfectly, there will always be a few people that will ask for a layout. Nothing against you or the plugin, I just dont understand how to use the commands.
Thanks,

@phozee
I'm going to upload an update to Bukkit Dev tonight, when it gets accepted it gets accepted.
HI guys, great plugin! Any ETA on updating this?
@DownwardlyMobile
Yes, that is possible. I will add this to the new version when I update it for 1.4.6
Is it possible to create a chest that will remain persistently? It would reset/unlock at specified time? This would be awesome for my PvP arena
@mumblerit
I do have something that forces it to end after a five minutes of no chest activity so I will need to look into it.
