Fixes General Mechanics
Description
Chests can be placed anywhere in your home but they are never in the perfect place.. With this plugin you can just break them and place them somewhere else without the hassle of picking their content and putting it back inside the chest.
 
 
Vanilla-Like
The plugin doesn't add any extra tool/command. Just break the block and it will work as expected.
 
Features
  • Not only working for Chests, also for: Hoppers, Furnaces, Barrels.. (see config file)
  • Container items will show the number of current containing stacks
  • Containers with the same content can be stacked or not
 
 
  • Customizable nesting limit
 
 
  • Customizable penalties for carrying portable containers (Shulker Boxes excluded)
 
What about Shulker Boxes?
Traditional containers can apply penalties when carried around, unlike Shulker Boxes!
 
Penalties
You can customize penalties and their strength by editing the config file, all you need is the list of PotionEffectType(s) and the examples you will find in the config file itself.
