Portable Chests
This project is heavily inspired by the mod Carry On
Crouch + right click on a chest / barrel with both hands empty will pick it up, do it again on a empty spot will place it down (they can stack, so you can pick up multiple containers!)
Known Issues
- Chests won't combine into double chests when placed down
- I didn't store the chest content to file, so if you close the server while someone holding a container, it would be gone
- This is intentional, I don't want people to overrely on this plugin and keep all their stuff in chests instead of shulker boxes
I'm planning to add a warning when players carry the chests for too long
