Usage
Protecting a Chest
Method 1: Using Signs
- Place a chest in the world

- Write
:username:
on any line of the sign (replace username with your name) - The sign will automatically format to show it's protected
Method 2: Using the Claim Command
- Place a chest in the world
- Place a sign on any side of the chest (can be blank)
- Look at the chest and type
/claimchest
- The sign will automatically format to show it's protected
Requesting Access
- Try to open a protected chest (you'll be shown a message that it's protected)
- Click on the suggested command or type
/openrequest <owner>
manually - The owner will receive a notification with clickable Accept/Deny buttons
- If accepted, you'll receive temporary access to open the chest once
