Bigger Chest

Is it possible to make a plugin that would make certain chests contain unlimited items? That would be really nice to be able to at least have more space. Maybe allow for 500 stacks instead of what it is now. or maybe different pages full of items.

Hopefully someone could make this. It seems pretty straight forward.

Format... (The format will help dev's know what you want so a better and more successful plugin for you!)

Now im no super knowledge plugin creator but, i'm pretty sure the 500 block stacks change the game not the server and a chest with pages? So you want to add a new GUI. Don't quote me on this but, i'm pretty sure those two things can't be done plugin alone.

 

I understand where you are coming from, but is their any way you can make a larger chest(hold's more items) for a server bukkit plugin?

 

eh, no need stacking, im sure theres a plugin out there that makes the items in chests unlimited without stacking.
you just gotta look carefully

 

Okay well if anyone knows of it or can make it or anything please update this thread so I can know.

 

If you want bigger stacks in chests, it will eventually happen with my plugin: StackableItems. That should be one of the next things I'll be adding to it. If you want multiple pages per chest.. I remember seeing a plugin do that, but can't remember what it was called. I'll update here if I find it.

 

It is possible to specify a size larger than 54 to player.openInventory(). But at least on the 1.2.4 dev build I've tried this on, the vanilla client glitched and did not display the additional space correctly. A multi-page chest is definitely possible as a server- only plugin, however. The plugin could easily display a different inventory to the user when a different inventory "page" is somehow chosen.

For what's its worth, the Iron Chests mod adds several new larger chests (copper, iron, silver, gold, crystal) and it supports CraftBukkit. I'm using it on my server and it works great, its quite well balanced and makes all the standard wooden chests pale in comparison.. But of course, to achieve this degree of functionality, client mods are required (not Spout but Minecraft Forge).
