ChestLock

ChestLock protects containers so other players cannot steal from or break them. The key idea: players do not have to lock anything manually. The moment someone places a chest (or other container), it is locked to them automatically. Everyone else is locked out until the owner trusts them.

How it works

A player places a container - it is instantly locked to them (with AutoLockOnPlace: true).
Anyone else who tries to open, take from, or break it is blocked.
The owner uses /trust and then clicks the container to add someone they trust.
/lock public turns a container into a shared one: anyone can put items in and take them out, but nobody can destroy it.

What it protects

Chests and trapped chests (single and double - both halves share one lock)
Barrels, shulker boxes
Hoppers, droppers, dispensers
Furnaces, blast furnaces, smokers, brewing stands

Hoppers and other automation trying to pull items out of a locked container are rejected unless the automation's owner is trusted (BlockHopperSteal).

Commands

/lock - lock the container you are looking at, or /lock public / /lock private
/unlock - remove the lock from your container
/trust - then click a container to trust a player on it
/untrust - then click a container to remove a trusted player
/lockinfo - click a container to see owner, trusted players, public/private and coordinates

Configuration

Modules:
  ChestLock:
    Enabled: true
 
ChestLock:
  AutoLockOnPlace: true
  TeamMembersHaveAccess: true
  BlockHopperSteal: true
  ProtectFromExplosions: true
  ShowOwnerActionBar: true

Key	Description
`Modules.ChestLock.Enabled`	Turns the whole module on or off.
`AutoLockOnPlace`	Lock a container automatically when it is placed. Turn off to require manual `/lock`.
`TeamMembersHaveAccess`	Members of the owner's team can open the container without being trusted individually.
`BlockHopperSteal`	Block hoppers/droppers from pulling items out of a locked container.
`ProtectFromExplosions`	Prevent TNT and creeper blasts from destroying locked containers.
`ShowOwnerActionBar`	Show the owner's name in the action bar when a player opens someone else's container.

The chestlock.db file is created in plugins/MuteEssentials/. Older databases gain the is_public column automatically on first start, so upgrades are transparent.

Permissions

Node	Grants
`muteessentials.chestlock`	Use the lock/trust commands (default: everyone)
`muteessentials.chestlock.admin`	Open, modify and break any locked container regardless of owner

Notes

Team access: with TeamMembersHaveAccess, your whole team shares your containers without per-player trust.
Public vs private: a public lock still cannot be broken - it only opens up the contents to everyone. Use it for community drop-off chests.
Trust is per-container: trusting someone on one chest does not trust them everywhere.
