✦ StarterLootChest
Turn any chest into a per-player loot chest. Every player sees their own fresh copy of the loot — the chest never empties and can't be destroyed.
Features
Loot system
- Each player gets their own inventory copy when opening
- Three modes: finite (X opens), unlimited, or cooldown-based (e.g. daily)
- Items left in the inventory on close are automatically moved to the player
Visuals
- Floating hologram above every chest (name, mode, item count)
- Particle effect + sound on open
- Inventory title shows the chest name
Protection
- Chests can't be broken, exploded, moved by pistons, or drained by hoppers
- Zone protection system — mark two corners to protect any area from building/breaking
Admin tools
- Graphical overview GUI (
/lootchest admin) — teleport, edit, or preview any chest - Live template editor — edit loot directly in an inventory
- Per-chest permission requirement (e.g. VIP-only chests)
- Console commands on open — e.g.
xp add {player} 100 points - Open log per chest
- Full
config.yml— toggle particles, sounds, holograms, customize all messages
Usage
- Place a chest and fill it with loot
- Look at the chest →
/lootchest set 1 Starter Kit - Done — locked and ready
