🐧 PersonalChests
PersonalChests is a high-performance, lightweight, and robust security plugin designed for modern Paper servers. It allows players to craft and place private chests that are completely immune to theft, griefing, and explosions.
Perfect for survival, factions, or SMP servers where player property protection is a priority without relying on heavy world-claiming plugins.
✨ Core Features
- 🔒 Absolute Security (UUID Bound): Chest ownership is tied directly to the player's unique UUID using Minecraft's secure
PersistentDataContainer(PDC). It is 100% exploit-proof and cannot be bypassed by renaming the item in an anvil. - 💥 100% Blast-Proof: Protected chests are completely immune to any form of explosion, including TNT, Creepers, Respawn Anchors, and Wither blasts. The surrounding blocks will blow up, but the Personal Chest and its contents will remain untouched.
- 🌍 Dynamic Client-Side Localization: No more split language files or broken translations. The plugin automatically detects the language of each player's Minecraft client in real-time. Item names, lores, and chat messages adapt instantly (Supported out of the box: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese).
- 👁️ Visual Distinction: Uses the vanilla Trapped Chest model, allowing players to easily identify private chests at a glance by the subtle red highlights around the latch.
- ⚙️ Highly Optimized: Zero database dependencies. All data is stored directly within the chunk blocks, ensuring maximum performance and zero lag.
- Compatible with GeyserMC Only using vanilla models, textures. So it's compatible with GeyserMC
