Chests++
Minecraft Spigot mod that enhances chests and hoppers, with ChestLinks, Auto-Crafting and Hopper filters!
Features:
- Ability to link multiple chests together across the entire server to be accessed from anywhere!
- Use Hoppers to filter items from chests using hoppers!
- Setup Auto-Crafting Tables to automatically craft items from the inventory above!
- Silk Touch can pick up ChestLinks and AutoCraft stations!
- Displays the most common item in a chest on the front of it!
- Build cool auto smelting/sorting systems!
- Remotely open chests with a nice menu system!
- Party system with a UI to share all your ChestLinks & AutoCrafters with other players!
- Language support
How to Create Linked Chests:
- Add a Chest using /chestlink add <group> or simply write the ChestLink format on a sign placed on a Chest!
- Open a chest as you normally would! or use /chestlink open or /chestlink menu to open the chest remotely!
- Each chest that gets added to that group will share the same inventory with all other chests in that group!
Note the /chestlink command can be replaced with /cl for convenience.
How to Create Auto-Crafting Stations:
- Add a Crafting Table using /autocraft add <group> or simply write the AutoCraft format on a sign placed on a Crafting Table!
- Open the Crafting Table and create your recipe (This requires at least one of each item and it won't use that item up!)
- Once you have a valid recipe the table will notify you with a chime, at this point if the recipe has different variations such as wood type they will start to animate in the crafting grid.
- To start crafting, a Chest (or any block with a valid inventory such as Furnaces, Barrels, Shulker Boxes, Hoppers etc) must be placed either on top or on any of the 3 sides not including the front.
- Next, place a hopper underneath the Crafting Table and AutoCrafting will start automatically.
- Alternatively, place a Chest or any other inventory block underneath the Crafting Table and apply a redstone signal to it.
Torch AutoCraft Example:
The following configurations work to AutoCraft torches with either a Hopper, or a chest underneath!
Hopper Filters
Hoppers can have filters applied to them so that they only accepted or reject certain items.
To add a filter to a Hopper you simply place an item frame on top or on any of its sides, and then place the item you would like to filter in it.
Currently there are four types of filters that can be enabled by rotating the item in the Item Frame.
- 0° Default - The Hopper will only accept this item. (Note multiple filters can be used on a hopper.)
- 45° Rejection Mode - The Hopper will prevent this item from being accepted but will accept other items.
- 90° Type-Acceptance - The Hopper will accept items that are of the same type, e.g Enchanted Books, Enchanted weapons, Potions etc.
- 135° Type-Rejection - The Hopper will reject all items that would normally be accepted in the filter above, so similar types are rejected.

The plugin works pretty good. I would like to see an option in the config.yml where you can set the maximum amount of chests people can create, since it is currently too powerfull for players to use. Also, the plugin gives an internal error when players are trying to open up an chest that doesn't exist, the console is full of it! But overall, it works quite well.
In reply to Forge_User_36658526:
Hey! The /open error is fixed in v1.4 which should be out in a couple of hours!
And that is a good idea I will add it to the list of things to implement for the next update! :)
How do i change it so everyone can open the chest with out me manully typing there name
In reply to fanclip:
Currently, that isn't possible, I could add an option to set a chest to public though in a future update!
In reply to fanclip:
Hey! This is implemented in the latest version v1.3!
You can use /cl setpublic <group> true/false
Hey man, So im getting a situation if no perms are set. When placing blocks people get a "You do not have permission to do that" from Chest++. But it still lets people place the blocks. Soon as i add the perm .add from your mod it seems to fix this. Just figured i would mention it. Possibly a small bug as i would only want to give the one permission to a player and not both add and open.
In reply to PhoenixDIE:
Hey! sorry for the late reply I've been super busy with Uni! I have fixed that bug in the 1.15.2 update and will post an update shortly!
Just Letting ya know its working well on 1.14.4 server right now :D thanks for the awesome plugin once again man :D
What are the chances of making the work with 1.12.2 ? Would love to give this a shot on a new server. This was a fav mod back in the day!

I’ve not tried it, I can give it a go and see if much needs changing!
