Description from the author on Hangar

Requires Vystorm Core (free)

Vystorm Locks

Your chests are yours. Placed containers lock themselves – share them with buddies or a password.

Place a chest and it is protected. Only you can open or break it. Add friends with /chestbuddy add NAME and they can open all of your containers. Put a password on a single container with /vlock password WORD and anyone who knows it can unlock it with /vlock unlock WORD until they log out.

Features

  • Automatic protection. Chests, trapped chests, copper chests, barrels, shulker boxes, furnaces, smokers, blast furnaces, hoppers, dispensers, droppers and brewing stands, crafters and chiseled bookshelves are protected when placed. Double chests share the protection, and nobody can attach a chest to yours.
  • Chest buddies. /chestbuddy add|remove|list manages friends who may open everything you protected.
  • Passwords. Lock one container with a password. The plugin stores only a salted hash, never the password.
  • No loopholes. Strangers cannot break protected containers, and hoppers cannot pull items out unless they belong to the same owner. Explosions, pistons, withers and fire leave protected containers alone.
  • Manual control. /vlock shows the owner, /vlock on protects a container by hand, and /vlock off removes the protection.
  • Easy to set up. The protected block list supports wildcards (*SHULKER_BOX). Auto-protect, hopper protection and explosion protection can each be turned on or off.
  • Seven languages. English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese (BR), Russian and Chinese, each with a short tutorial in /vmenu.

Commands and permissions

  • /vlock (/lock) – info · on · off · password WORD|clear · unlock WORD

  • vystormlocks.use (default: everyone) · vystormlocks.bypass (default: op – open, break and manage every container)
