    DropChest - Chests that absorb dropped items
    Version 0.8.2
    [​IMG]
    Important! When migrating from 0.6 to any above version, you have to move the DropChest.txt from server/plugins/DropChest.txt to server/plugins/DropChest/DropChest.txt
    This is because I have to follow the Bukkit plugin saves guidelines.

    This plugin automatically adds dropped items to near chests. That is very useful for automatic farming and monster traps that gather loot.
    Features
    • automatically suck dropped items that are near a chest to that chest
    • customizable warning if the chest is nearly full
    • list your DropChests and watch how much percent is still free
    • Permissions
    • Filter
    • Storage Minecart support
    • Dispenser and Furnace support
    • Item information
    • Chest protection
    • Automatic Owner tracking
    • Double-Chest support

    Usage
    Commands
    Show commands (open)

    To add a chest to the "watchlist", type
    Code:
    /dropchest add [radius]
    After that, rightclick the chest that you want to add. Radius is the radius in which the Chest should suck items. Default value is 2.

    To remove a chest from the "watchlist", just type
    Code:
    /dropchest remove chestid
    where chestid is the number of the chest that you get when you call /dropchest list

    You can list the chests that are on the watchlist via
    Code:
    /dropchest list
    You can adjust the radius of a chest via
    Code:
    /dropchest setradius chestid radius
    You can check which id and radius the Chest in front of you has:
    Code:
    /dropchest which
    after that, rightclick on the Chest to get information about it.
    If you are sitting in front of the console, or don't want to rightclick, you can use
    Code:
    /dropchest info chest
    It will generate the same output as /dc which.

    You can teleport to a chest via
    Code:
    /dropchest tp chestid
    where chestid is the ID of the dropchest

    You can set the name of a DropChest via
    Code:
    /dropchest setname {chestid} {newname}
    The name is displayed in chest is full warnings, and in the DropChest list!

    If you migrate from 0.6 to 0.7, you can set the owner of a dropchest by typing:
    Code:
    /dropchest setowner {chest} {newowner}
    You can protect a chest by typing
    Code:
    /dropchest protect {chest} {on|off}
    You can always use /dc instead of /dropchest if you are lazy.

    Another very helpful command is /dcitem:
    Code:
    /dcitem [NAME|id]
    
    This can be used to obtain the name of an item by it's id or get an id of the item-name.
    This doesn't work with all names, though.

    Use the new command /chestinfo {name|id} to get info about what's inside the chest.
    Omit the argument and rightclick on any chest to get info about that.
    Example:
    Code:
    >/dcitem 4
    4 is COBBLESTONE
    >/dcitem cobblestone
    COBBLESTONE is 4
    

    Show Configuration (open)

    You can configure DropChest by pasting the contents of the following block to plugins/DropChest/dropchest.cfg
    Code:
    #Should the dropchest drop items when it gets a redstone signal?
    droponredstone=true
    #How long should the dropchest not suck items after it has dropped them
    waitafterdrop=10
    #Should users be able to protect chests like in LWC?
    usercanprotectchest=true
    #Which is the default radius if you omit the radius argument in /dropchest add?
    defaultradius=2
    #Which should be the maximum radius for players that have not dropchest.setBig and aren't ops?
    fallbackradius=15
    #At which fill-status should the chest warn you?
    warnfillstatus=90
    #Which message should appear as warning?
    #You can use this variables (example):
    # $owner : the owner of the chest (narrowtux)
    # $name  : the name of the chest (my superduper mobtower chest/#42)
    # $fill  : The fill status, in percent (81)
    warnmessage=$owner, your chest $name is nearly full($fill%).
    

    Filter / Storage Minecarts
    Show Filter/Storage Minecarts (open)

    Filters have changed in version 0.6. There are now 3 seperate filters that are for sucking items, pulling items from passing minecarts and pushing them to passing minecarts.
    You can now set the filters by either using commands or using the interactive mode. Let me show you the interactive mode first:
    to begin, type
    Code:
    /dropchest filter {suck|push|pull}
    Note: choose one of suck, push or pull, please (for example /dropchest filter suck)
    Then you will enter the interactive mode. In this mode you can edit the selected filter by hitting the chest with the desired item in your hand.
    To edit another filter, type the above command again.
    To finish your filter, type
    Code:
    /dropchest filter finish
    Commands mode:
    Code:
    /dropchest filter {suck|push|pull} {chestid} {itemid|itemtype|clear}
    Call the filter-command like above, as second argument, use the chest-ID, and as third argument, either type the item-ID, the name of the item (as they appear here: org.bukkit.Material) or type clear to clear this filter.
    Please note! The suck filter acts different from the Pull/Push-Filter when it's empty. When the suck-filter is empty, the chest will suck every item. When a Pull/Push filter is empty, it won't take or give any items to a passing minecart.

    Show Permissions nodes (open)

    You can use these nodes:
    • dropchest - To get the right to use DropChest
    • dropchest.create - To call /dropchest add
    • dropchest.remove - To call /dropchest remove chestid
    • dropchest.radius.set - To set the radius of a Chest to something else than 2
    • dropchest.radius.setBig - To have unlimited radius
    • dropchest.which - To have access to the /dropchest which command
    • dropchest.teleport - To be able to teleport via /dropchest tp chestid
    • dropchest.filter - To set or reset filters
    • dropchest.filter.set - To set filters in interactive mode
    • dropchest.filter.reset - To reset filters in interactive mode (click with nothing in hand)
    • dropchest.list - To have access to /dc list and /dc info
    • dropchest.destroy - To be able to break a dropchest without removing it before.
    • dropchest.protect - To be able to protect a chest
    • dropchest.moderator - To be able to modify a dropchests properties even if you're not the owner. Also, ops and the console can do that.
    You can use these variables:

    • dropchestmaxradius - To adjust the maximum radius for a group or a user
    How to use variables:

    Code:
    users:
      narrowtux:
        info:
          dropchestmaxradius: 1000
    
    This is just an example and this also works with groups!

    Are you going to transition the back-end of this plugin to MySql eventually? Just wondering, I've got tons of dropchests on my server, which I'm sure is causing more than some overhead :p

    Even if adding MySql as an option wont fix the overhead, it would still make it easier to integrate some kind of web based configuration page... (I'll have to post up my config web page at some point)

    Thanks for this plugin btw! This plugin, plus PistonChest has brought our server from the stone age to the industrial revolution :p

    It can already do this. Power the chest with some redstone and it will drop the items it contains for a couple of seconds before sucking them back in.
    You can always disable the sucking bit by add a filter to suck Fire. (which results in sucking no items)

    I use a rail with pressure plate to power the chest as soon as it has passed to drop the contents.

    Got one annoyance which i would love to get solved! When adding a filter to a chest to pull/push all, using /dc which will show more item IDs then fits in my chat.
    Biggest problem is that the dropchest id isnt visible anymore :(

    Then a feature request: I would love to be able to add a filter to a chest which makes it push an ammount of a certain item. I could then make a transportsystem which calls for a stack of blocks or food.

    Could you please implement that furnaces only pull items into the input/burn slot?
    At the moment items also get pulled into the output slot, so for example cobblestone can also be pulled into the output slot of the furnace, which is a bit nonsense I think ....
    As soon as this gets implementet, I will donate something for sure :)

    Hi,
    first of all. Its a good plugin and my players love to use it.
    I have a server with ca. 900 active Dropchests now. Dropchest let lag or/and crash the whole server.
    It's important, to improve Dropchest, do you have time for this in the next... days? :)
    • Dropchest-Limit per Player
    • iConomy-Support and costs for creating a DropChest or per week costs
    • Automatically delete Dropchests of inactve players (e.g. 30 days)
    • You need really big code improvements, it should not iterate through all DropChests in one action.
    • The DropChest-Saveformat (a big txt-File) is not so good. ;)
    Do you plan to improve DropChest in the next days/week, theese improvements are very important for keep DropChest running on a big server.

    Thanks.

    I was wondering if there is an existing (or possibility of adding) a way to change the filter push/pull range? Right now it appears to only be if the track is next to the chest. I would like to be able to have the cart hidden 5-10 blocks away from the chest.

    Additionally the suck filter only appears to work once. I tried having another chest suck another item but it refused. Running CB1597. I realize this plugin is a bit out of date as well.

    Well, the TP function is locked by permissions, so you just have to not give any user that permission.
    Per-User limit would come soon ;)

    I also heard that this broke since the recent update to the event system. I will fix that tonight.

    Okay, did some testing, and you can be assured that it's still working.
    Also, I worked on Vault integration - this will support all Permission systems finally.

    Hey,
    Can you add that Storageminecarts also absorb items and can give them later another dropchest?
