PistonChest
You can now give pistons certain abilities which extend their basic boring nature.
Supports:
- LWC (command 'pcpassword <password>' allows the user to assign a password to a piston, to give to LWC password protected chests)
- Lockette
- Secure Chests
About:
Whenever you place a piston it will be registered in your name. This prevents players from destroying them or claiming them for themselves. PistonChest supports the above plugins which can prevent a piston from accessing a chest if they do not have permission. In this plugin there are certain abilities which modify how the piston behaves, and can be combined to create the ultimate machine. The basic ability is being able to push and retrieve blocks and items from a chest. In order to add an ability the player must use the specified tool (default: stick) then right click on their piston to bring up a GUI from where they can either add items to use abilities or simply turn them on and off. See below for a list of abilities...
To Install,
- Copy and paste the 'PistonChest.jar' file into the plugin folder...
No more need for Commands!
Use a stick by default to modify your piston functionality! (Version 1.8)

Please note you will have to adjust the obsidian according to how far the chest is away, and what item is being fired. (Players and monsters encounter wind resistance).
So, i just tested this with Movecraft, and the pistons don't retain their special ability when moved....can this be fixed? tie the ability directly to the block?
I just made a massive update. Especially to the user interface.
@AT_HE
Ok cool. Ill see what I can do.
I might remove the commands and try and some events on items.
hi ... this is one of the best plugins i tried .. i have some suggestions
i think maybe in PistonChest.java at line 950 should change this
thanks
@Liger_XT5
Ah ok, no prob. I will take a look at this. Could you maybe make a ticket please :)
@pnndzwdz
Sure, although it may have to wait a couple of weeks as I am travelling at the moment :/
I've been getting reports, and people have shown me, that there is a dupe exploit. If there is an item in front of the piston and the piston pushes into the chest, it makes a copy other than pushing it in. Same with mobs it seems, such as slimes.
@kevupton
Can you update this very nice plugin ;D
@kevupton
No. The errors seem to pop up somewhat erratically, but only when piston arms retract.
I wonder, does this plugin have to "register" pistons for it to have an effect on them? I noticed that the error pops up only when I'm retracting pistons that have been placed before I got the plugin.
@CommodoreAlpha
Was there anything in particular that you were trying to pull?
I get this error every now and then, whenever I'm playing with sticky pistons.
PistonChest plugin works in 1.5.1, but errors appear: http://pastebin.com/SBNqfha0
I'm enjoying myself with this plugin so mush haha thank you Kevupton :D
@couverbo
yes this will work on 1.5.1 :D
@kevupton
Yes it works and quite well.
@couverbo
Im not sure. I havent tested it on the new one...
Does it work on 1.5.1 ?
For the last week or so, we've been seeing the following error off and on on the server. Not sure what's causing it exactly yet.
Can one of the Devs of the mod please take a look at this, apparently some players on my server have found and have been exploiting an item duplication bug with piston chests. i made a ticket here

@robotnikthingy
check whether or not zombies are disabled in the config file....
There is a bug with zombies and pistons with Super_push. pistons with that ability wont launch zombies into the air, but it works fine with all other mobs
