I would like there to be a way for only chests placed by people with the chestharvest permission node to collect items automatically.
There are mods that will take items in chest and feed them to other chests...I was thinking of trying one out, but decided not to.
You might like that as a quick fix...

Nah, no need for apologies. Just small misunderstandings. It just seems the plugin now either does not allow chests to scan the same block as one another or, when one chest within the area has reached capacity, all chests seize to collect further resources.
@NeoScooch
Apologies.
@fatmarleys
Hmmm, that's odd because when I read the changelog for verison 1.3:
added option to scan in a box-area, not just top & sides
Edit: Under that same changelog you will also see right above the one I posted that it was added for the chests to scan in a greater distance (rather then 1 block) as I had also requested in the same ticket.
I don't think it changed like you thought.
I am not sure what has changed or if even perhaps it's something I have changed with my server but, I had made an underground cactus farm with four double chests at the end of the water to collect the cacti. It's hard to explain how they were setup but basically the 4 chests all faced at least one of two squares either top facing or front facing. Over time all four chests would fill for me to later empty and sell the cacti.
Now I think a request I had made actually is what changed how this worked. I had requested chests be able to collect to their sides and back and not just the front and top. Now it seems as if when one chest registers as full (usually the one the cacti end up on top off at the end of the water) the rest around it stop collecting. The one chest doesn't even collect any and it used to be the last to fill. I don't know if anything can be done or like I said, maybe it's something I had done.
The video link doesn't work.
Ok from your reply i take it that this is the intended behavior, which is fine i can modify settings as if it was a single chest, but is there any chance you could update it to include double chest click once :)
I think you have it, but maybe experiment with the max.distance.
I still have to click both chest pieces to get to full area, seems to operate on chest halves for me ?.
In the config, the whole harvesting section is what you are after.
Is there a way to just single click a double chest for it to harvest the full area. It seems to require clicking both sides left and right for the full area affect to work. Or did i miss something
Got the hoe working...working great for me. Was wondering if there could be an additonal permission and or group?
I want to let all my players use it, but I only want them to be able to use the hoe and seeds to plant in a 2 block radius, while more senior (more responsible) players could have an increased range.
I tryed a new 1.3.2.1 ticket... (its a real issue)
if there is an issue, please submit a ticket, not a comment.. thanks.
This happens to me on first load, without any folder or file related to ChestHarvester:
Short time after starting up this message appears:
Dont know how to show the "7 more"
Ingame the chest wont do anything different like "vanilla-chests", bakup of old 1.2 JAR and Config works fine, except for AutoStack: false
