FactionsChests

This plugin adds a kind of Guild Bank functionality to Factions.

It allows faction members to create and open virtual chests to store items faction-wide.

This plugin is in Beta status. There will be some changes in how the plugin saves the inventories in the next versions. Because of this, databases produced by the current versions will not be compatible with future versions. I recommend that you use the available versions for testing purposes only.

With the release of version 0.4 Beta the database won't change again anytime soon.

After enough testing and feedback 0.4 Beta will be promoted to release status.

Dependencies

Factions

Vault (soft dependency)

Commands

/f listchests - lists all available chests to you

/f addchest <name> [access=M] - adds a virtual faction chest with the name <name> and the access permission access (default M)

/f openchest <name> - opens the chest identified by <name>

/f chestaccess <name> - changes the access mode of the chest <name> between M (all members) and S (officers and above only)

Rank-based chest access

Starting in version 0.4 Beta all chests have rank-based access policies:

M (all members)

S (officers and above only)

Permissions

FactionsChests.open - allows usage of /f openchest

FactionsChests.add - allows usage of /f addchest

FactionsChests.access - allows usage of /f chestaccess

FactionsChests.list - allows usage of /f listchests

More Info

The chests are faction bound (not tag bound) so they will stay with the faction even when the name changes.

It is not possible for two or more players to access the same chest simultaneously.

The chest's content is saved whenever it is closed and when the server is shut down (as of 0.3 Beta).

Chest names are limited to 10 characters (as of 0.3 Beta).

The /f chestaccess command is only usable by faction officers and above (normal faction members with the permission FactionsChests.access are not able to use the command).

To-do

~~Add Vault support~~
~~Add Permissions~~
~~Implement price for creating new chests~~
~~Add configuration options (chest price, slots, etc.)~~
~~Add rank-dependend chests (member chests and officer & admin chests)~~
Open for new ideas

Feature Request
Make a physical chest that factions can use, the plugin ShopKeepers uses items in an inventory chest display as buttons, I was thinking you could do the same to allow users to scroll from 1 chest to another.

I was thinking server owners could set up a faction vault/guild vault at say a spawn and then the owner of a faction could buy more chests that users could then go to at spawn and deposit items.

It could be a config option so not everyone would be forced to use this.
I would really love this feature! ^_^

I might continue working on this project, soon. University and the written book feature got in the way but since there still seems to be the demand for a plugin like that and I get a lot of feature requests I will try to find some time to continue it.

You should create the ability to have a physical bank area ...

if this area is overrun by another faction then the chests become open for looting.

Please also add the ability for each player to have his own locked chest that others in the same faction cant access, but again when overrun they can be looted

@Slappygilmore: Go

So what you are talking about is that when a faction has more land than its power would allow (land inflation) another faction could overtake/claim this faction's chests?

I think it would be cool and useable for my server if you made it so once the faction didn't have enough power to maintain there land they also didn't have the power to maintain there chest. So someone in another faction could do something as /f (faction) chest
