MuteEssentials

Screenshots are coming soon! If you encounter any issues, please let me know. I’d really appreciate any bug reports, and I’ll do my best to fix them quickly. To submit a bug report, please scroll all the way to the bottom.

I originally developed this plugin for my own SMP server about two years ago, but now I’d like to make it available to the public and continue developing it.

Built for Paper 1.21+. Tested with 26.1.1.

Container Protection

Built-in ChestLock module - no external plugin needed.

  locked to the placer automatically
• Double-chest aware: both halves are treated as one, a single /lock, /trust or break covers the whole thing
• Team access: members of the same clan can access each other's containers automatically
• Trust by click: /trust <player> sets a pending action (30s), then right-click the container to confirm. Same
  for /untrust
• /lock public: mark a container as public so anyone can put items in and take them out. /lock private reverts
• /lockinfo: shows owner, trusted players, location and visibility
• Hopper-steal protection: foreign hoppers cannot pull from locked containers
