Make exploration fun with ChestDrop! Race to loot the Hidden Gems, trade them for valuable items!
Gameplay
ChestDrop drops chests filled with Hidden Gems that players can trade for in-game items, giving them a fun incentive to go out and explore the wilderness.
Race to the Chest
Each time ChestDrop drops a chest, it broadcasts the coordinates to the world. Players all race get there first. Each chest they find contains 1-5 Hidden Gems. Players use the Trade Gems GUI to purchase items.
Collect them All
Start with a pristine world and use the /dropchest command to generate 10, 100, or over 9000 chests on command. Let players loose to see who can collect the most in the time limit
