Description from the author on Modrinth

Advanced Crate System

The Advanced Crate System is a powerful and fully customizable crate plugin designed to bring an exciting reward experience to your Minecraft server. It allows server owners and administrators to create unique, interactive crates that players can discover, open, and use to obtain valuable rewards. Whether you want to build a traditional loot crate system, a key-based reward system, or special event crates, this plugin provides all the tools you need.

Using a simple command system, administrators can create special crates and obtain them as placeable items. Once you have created a crate, you can simply spawn it using the corresponding command and place it anywhere in your Minecraft world. This makes it easy to integrate crates into your server's spawn area, shops, reward rooms, or custom-built locations without having to deal with complicated setups.

Players can interact directly with placed crates using their mouse buttons. Depending on the interaction, they can either preview the possible rewards inside the crate or start the crate opening process immediately. This creates an intuitive and immersive experience, allowing players to see what they could win before deciding to roll for a reward.

The plugin also features a comprehensive command system that gives administrators full control over their crates. You can create and delete crates, modify their configurations, manage keys, give players specific keys, add keys to crates, check crate prices, and reload the system whenever changes are made.

With its flexible configuration options and easy-to-use commands, the Advanced Crate System is suitable for all kinds of Minecraft servers. Whether you're running a survival server, an economy-based server, a network, or a custom game mode, you can use this system to introduce exciting rewards and give your players something new to work towards.

Features:

  • Create and manage custom crates directly through commands.
  • Spawn special crate items and place them anywhere in your world.
  • Allow players to preview available crate rewards.
  • Start crate rolls through simple player interactions.
  • Support for key-based crate opening systems.
  • Give keys directly to players or add them to specific crates.
  • Configure and customize individual crates.
  • Delete existing crates whenever needed.
  • Check crate prices and manage their economy integration.
  • Reload configurations without restarting your server.
  • Simple and intuitive command-based administration.
  • Perfect for reward systems, server shops, events, and progression systems.

The Advanced Crate System provides everything you need to create an engaging crate experience and make rewards a more interactive part of your Minecraft server!
