PrivateChest Plus v1.2 – Stability & Protection Update​

New Fixes & Improvements​

• Admin Bypass Fixed
  Players with the permission privatechest.admin can now fully access any protected container, as intended.
  This bypass now works for:
  • Opening containers
  • Breaking containers
  • Using /unlockchest
• Hopper Exploit Patched
  Hoppers and other automated systems (like droppers or minecarts with hoppers) can no longer extract items from protected containers.
  Your items are now 100% safe from indirect theft.
• Improved Access Logic
  Internal protection checks were improved for:
  • Efficiency
  • Consistency across events
  • Support for future PlaceholderAPI/Vault integrations
• Codebase Cleanup & Polish
  We removed legacy logic, improved method consistency, and aligned the plugin behavior to match premium expectations.

Notes​

• /unlockchest is now safer and does not remove protection — it only allows temporary access based on your unlock-duration setting.
• Double chests, barrels, shulkers, furnaces and more remain fully supported and protected.

Next Stop: v1.3​

• Interactive GUI for /mychests
• Vault economy support (protect containers for a fee)
• PlaceholderAPI placeholders like %owner%, %world%, %x%, etc.

NEW IN THIS VERSION:​

• Explosion Protection
  TNT, Creepers, and any explosions can no longer destroy protected containers.
• Lava & Water Block Placement Protection
  Players can no longer place or flow lava/water near protected containers. Say goodbye to griefing with liquids!
• Double Chest Validation
  If allow-double-chests: false is set in config.yml, players are blocked from forming double chests.
• New Customizable Messages
  Added to messages.yml:
  • double-chests-not-allowed
  • liquid-placement-blocked
• Clean Build (no warnings)
  Resolved overlapping resource warnings (MANIFEST.MF) in the compiled JAR.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS​

• Completely refactored BlockProtectionListener.java for better modularity.
• Expanded container checks and interaction coverage.
• Fully prepared for future versions (PlaceholderAPI, Vault support, SQLite, etc.).

CORE FEATURES RECAP​

• Protect all major containers (chests, barrels, shulkers, etc.)
• Share access with friends (no password needed)
• Auto-relock after temporary unlock
• List and teleport to protected containers with /mychests
• Notify owners when someone tries to open their chest
• YAML or MySQL storage support
• Developer API ready
• Clean orphaned entries with /clearchests
