    DropChest - Chests that absorb dropped items
    Version 0.8.2
    [​IMG]
    Important! When migrating from 0.6 to any above version, you have to move the DropChest.txt from server/plugins/DropChest.txt to server/plugins/DropChest/DropChest.txt
    This is because I have to follow the Bukkit plugin saves guidelines.

    This plugin automatically adds dropped items to near chests. That is very useful for automatic farming and monster traps that gather loot.
    Features
    • automatically suck dropped items that are near a chest to that chest
    • customizable warning if the chest is nearly full
    • list your DropChests and watch how much percent is still free
    • Permissions
    • Filter
    • Storage Minecart support
    • Dispenser and Furnace support
    • Item information
    • Chest protection
    • Automatic Owner tracking
    • Double-Chest support

    Usage
    Commands
    Show commands (open)

    To add a chest to the "watchlist", type
    Code:
    /dropchest add [radius]
    After that, rightclick the chest that you want to add. Radius is the radius in which the Chest should suck items. Default value is 2.

    To remove a chest from the "watchlist", just type
    Code:
    /dropchest remove chestid
    where chestid is the number of the chest that you get when you call /dropchest list

    You can list the chests that are on the watchlist via
    Code:
    /dropchest list
    You can adjust the radius of a chest via
    Code:
    /dropchest setradius chestid radius
    You can check which id and radius the Chest in front of you has:
    Code:
    /dropchest which
    after that, rightclick on the Chest to get information about it.
    If you are sitting in front of the console, or don't want to rightclick, you can use
    Code:
    /dropchest info chest
    It will generate the same output as /dc which.

    You can teleport to a chest via
    Code:
    /dropchest tp chestid
    where chestid is the ID of the dropchest

    You can set the name of a DropChest via
    Code:
    /dropchest setname {chestid} {newname}
    The name is displayed in chest is full warnings, and in the DropChest list!

    If you migrate from 0.6 to 0.7, you can set the owner of a dropchest by typing:
    Code:
    /dropchest setowner {chest} {newowner}
    You can protect a chest by typing
    Code:
    /dropchest protect {chest} {on|off}
    You can always use /dc instead of /dropchest if you are lazy.

    Another very helpful command is /dcitem:
    Code:
    /dcitem [NAME|id]
    
    This can be used to obtain the name of an item by it's id or get an id of the item-name.
    This doesn't work with all names, though.

    Use the new command /chestinfo {name|id} to get info about what's inside the chest.
    Omit the argument and rightclick on any chest to get info about that.
    Example:
    Code:
    >/dcitem 4
    4 is COBBLESTONE
    >/dcitem cobblestone
    COBBLESTONE is 4
    

    Show Configuration (open)

    You can configure DropChest by pasting the contents of the following block to plugins/DropChest/dropchest.cfg
    Code:
    #Should the dropchest drop items when it gets a redstone signal?
    droponredstone=true
    #How long should the dropchest not suck items after it has dropped them
    waitafterdrop=10
    #Should users be able to protect chests like in LWC?
    usercanprotectchest=true
    #Which is the default radius if you omit the radius argument in /dropchest add?
    defaultradius=2
    #Which should be the maximum radius for players that have not dropchest.setBig and aren't ops?
    fallbackradius=15
    #At which fill-status should the chest warn you?
    warnfillstatus=90
    #Which message should appear as warning?
    #You can use this variables (example):
    # $owner : the owner of the chest (narrowtux)
    # $name  : the name of the chest (my superduper mobtower chest/#42)
    # $fill  : The fill status, in percent (81)
    warnmessage=$owner, your chest $name is nearly full($fill%).
    

    Filter / Storage Minecarts
    Show Filter/Storage Minecarts (open)

    Filters have changed in version 0.6. There are now 3 seperate filters that are for sucking items, pulling items from passing minecarts and pushing them to passing minecarts.
    You can now set the filters by either using commands or using the interactive mode. Let me show you the interactive mode first:
    to begin, type
    Code:
    /dropchest filter {suck|push|pull}
    Note: choose one of suck, push or pull, please (for example /dropchest filter suck)
    Then you will enter the interactive mode. In this mode you can edit the selected filter by hitting the chest with the desired item in your hand.
    To edit another filter, type the above command again.
    To finish your filter, type
    Code:
    /dropchest filter finish
    Commands mode:
    Code:
    /dropchest filter {suck|push|pull} {chestid} {itemid|itemtype|clear}
    Call the filter-command like above, as second argument, use the chest-ID, and as third argument, either type the item-ID, the name of the item (as they appear here: org.bukkit.Material) or type clear to clear this filter.
    Please note! The suck filter acts different from the Pull/Push-Filter when it's empty. When the suck-filter is empty, the chest will suck every item. When a Pull/Push filter is empty, it won't take or give any items to a passing minecart.

    Show Permissions nodes (open)

    You can use these nodes:
    • dropchest - To get the right to use DropChest
    • dropchest.create - To call /dropchest add
    • dropchest.remove - To call /dropchest remove chestid
    • dropchest.radius.set - To set the radius of a Chest to something else than 2
    • dropchest.radius.setBig - To have unlimited radius
    • dropchest.which - To have access to the /dropchest which command
    • dropchest.teleport - To be able to teleport via /dropchest tp chestid
    • dropchest.filter - To set or reset filters
    • dropchest.filter.set - To set filters in interactive mode
    • dropchest.filter.reset - To reset filters in interactive mode (click with nothing in hand)
    • dropchest.list - To have access to /dc list and /dc info
    • dropchest.destroy - To be able to break a dropchest without removing it before.
    • dropchest.protect - To be able to protect a chest
    • dropchest.moderator - To be able to modify a dropchests properties even if you're not the owner. Also, ops and the console can do that.
    You can use these variables:

    • dropchestmaxradius - To adjust the maximum radius for a group or a user
    How to use variables:

    Code:
    users:
      narrowtux:
        info:
          dropchestmaxradius: 1000
    
    This is just an example and this also works with groups!

    Can you post the server log when you think that it breaks your plugin?
     
  4. Same problem. I am using the default permissions, except I changed DarkGrave at the bottom to my name (with capitalization to match what I have).

    The message I get is to ask my operator to enable the plugin for me.

    Whenever we place a dropchest on our server, if we log out it "forgets" that its a dropchest, so we have to make it all over again when we log back on.

    I have a store room with various water powered tunnels leading to it, for fast reed farming etc and I don't want to set the chest every time i log in - is there a way to make chests save? or is it a bug on my end?

    Im on craftbukkit 440 with permissions 2.2
    When I log out on after setting a dropchest which works fine, it then says a dropchest has broken and been removed.
    I had 2 computers next to each other and saw it happen. Then when i come back the chest no longer works and is removed from the list, but i have to actually remove the chest and put it back before i can re-declare it as a dropchest.

    Hi, got a performance question for anyone who's been using Dropchest and has a large number of chests working.

    I'am re-doing my storage room and was thinking about setting up all my chest's with DC so that I could just run into my room and dump everything on the floor and let DC sort out the mess. I'll probably have somewhere around 20 to 30 chests. So, with having this many DC's running would there be a performance hit since they are checking for items all the time? If so, whats the possibility of adding a configurable timer to cut down on how often the chests check for items.

    Thanks.....

    DropChest is working like this:
    • every second, a method is run, which does the following:
      • Scan through all Dropped Items on the whole server
      • for each chest, check if the chest is near enough to be sucked
        • If so, it would suck the item, else it would try the next chest
    30 Chests are okay, on my private server this wouldn't cause any lag.
    I should mention that DropChest is quite CPU intensive, Craftbukkit uses 7-15% of CPU time on a 2,0 GHz Core 2 Duo Penryn machine.
    You can always test it, if it's too laggy (I wouldn't expect this), you can still remove some dropchests.

    leetgamer

    She was afk in the chunk, so the chunk was loaded. I can confirm this is messing up because she is an admin on my server, and the chests seem to ignore sulfur and string. They just... disappear.

    Otherwise, amazing plugin, thanks for all your work!

    Schlchter11

    I think I've found the solution. When writing the file (DropChest.txt) you use \n for a line break. That works on Linux, but not on Windows and Mac. On Windows you need n\r\ and on Mac \r (See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline#In_programming_languages) The result is that in the text document (at least for me) the line break is in the wrong place and the line isn't commented out with a diamond at the beginning -> error. You should use both (/n/r), so it works on all operating systems.

    I hope i could help you.

    Sorry for my English... I'm German.

    This happens when a Block has changed from Chest/Furnace/Dispenser to another unsupported blocktype. You can search the point that the coords show, build a new chest there and insert the above line into DropChest.txt again!
