Crates
Description
Did you play survival games and saw that some servers had crates that fall from the sky? Ever wanted those on your server? Well this plugin enables that for you!
(These don't randomly fall from the sky though, I might add that as a future feature)
What are crates?
If you have never played survivalgames, then crates are like retextured chests, but they are easier to store and you can place them together in any pattern (like 3 right next to eachother)
You can also open them if there is a block above, incase you need to put one in a small space.
How to use it
There are 2 ways of creating a crate, the first way is to shift+right click a chest, it will turn the chest into a crate and transfer its items too!
The 2nd way is to craft one, the crafting recipe is shown below:
(If the image is not loading, then the recipe is the same as making a chest but with a stick in the middle) Note: The crate looks like the front of a piston
Configuration
You can configure the plugin in the config.yml located in the plugin's folder.
It should look like this:
CreationMethods: Stick: Enabled: true ID: 280 Crafting: Enabled: true Recipe: - WWW - WSW - WWW - W = Wooden Planks, S = Stick, C = Chest
Known bugs
Currently none

I tried powering it with redstone, nothing happens And yes it will be configurable in the future, I also might be able to let you change what block id the crate is (like if you want it to disguised as a grass block or wooden planks)
Edit: I edited the thread explaining what crates are, and how they are better then chests. I also added a new version and I'm waiting for it to get accepted

Posted Jul 9, 2013For those of us who have never played survival games servers with crates, you should explain what those crates are (and what they do). From what I can infer from the description alone, crates are basically "re-textured" chests and nothing more (though that could change in the future).
Since you're using an unused damage value of a piston, what would happen if someone powered it with redstone?
Also, what if you didn't want the "shift+right-click to turn chest into crate" feature? I'm actually more interested in this plugin due to the ability to place the piston-variant than the ability to have crates, which I happen to see as more of a bonus.
Will the crafting recipe and lore/name be configurable in the future?

Posted Jul 9, 2013Finally someone has taken on the role of making this plugin! At last!
I hope you can get this out soon! If you can get it working in any way, dev builds would be fantastic asap!
Keep up the work!
