Password Chest V2 — Security Logic & Datapack Refinement

A refined approach to password-based chest interactions in Minecraft.

🔐 What's New in V2?

• Improved PIN Verification: Refined the password-validation flow for more consistent interactions.
• Enhanced Chest Identification: Improved chest-position tracking to reduce accidental interactions with nearby chests.
• Ownership Handling: Introduced per-chest ownership checks to better isolate individual chest interactions.
• Input Validation: Improved handling of invalid password input and incorrect attempts.
• Function Structure: Reorganized datapack functions for clearer execution flow and easier maintenance.
• Cleanup Improvements: Added handling for obsolete markers associated with supported chest-removal scenarios.

🛠️ Technical Improvements

• Updated the datapack's internal structure for modern Minecraft Java resource conventions.
• Refined scoreboard and function references.
• Removed redundant packaging directories.
• Updated project metadata, documentation, and release version to V2.

🎮 Compatibility

• Edition: Minecraft Java Edition
• Target versions: 1.21.x and newer version families.
• Installation: Place the datapack ZIP in your world's datapacks folder, then run /reload.
• Runtime behavior should be verified on the specific Minecraft version and server configuration you use.

📌 Important Note

Password Chest is a datapack-based password interaction system, not a complete security boundary. Vanilla datapacks cannot reliably prevent all unauthorized chest access, particularly when players have commands or other privileged access.

🌐 Project Focus

Password Chest V2 focuses on improved interaction logic, cleaner internal organization, and more reliable chest identification while retaining the core password-protection concept.
