Restock & Roam

Save a kit, link your base chests, crouch to dump loot and restock
For solo worlds, friend-hosted worlds and dedicated servers.

Personal kits   |   Linked chests   |   Only new loot moves

Opening a chest standing up is still vanilla. The mod only runs when you crouch and use a linked chest.

■ How it plays

1. Save a kit: the gear, hotbar and supplies you want on every trip.
2. Link the chests at your base.
3. Leaving: crouch and open any linked chest. Your kit is filled from the base and the mod remembers what you carried out.
4. Coming back: crouch and open one again. Only what you found on the trip goes into the chests, then the kit is topped up again.

■ Features

• Personal kits: equipment layout plus optional extra supply totals, up to 12 kits
• Linked chest network with guest access; each player keeps their own kit and trip
• Deposits only what you gained since you left, then refills food, potions, ammo and saved gear
• Overflow stays with you if a loot chest is full
• Expedition Ledger item (spellbook animation) or /eprep to open the GUI
• Optional: BetterClaim chest permissions apply to linked chests

■ Chest roles

Each chest can have a priority (-1000 to 1000) and filters (item:, category:, resource:). Filtered chests are tried first, higher priority first. Empty filters mean fallback.

■ Getting started

1. Type /eprep (also /expedition, /restock, /rr). The Overview page opens.
2. Click Claim Expedition Ledger. It is free and ignored by kits. Hold it and use the secondary action to open the menu without a command.
3. Open Kits, put on what you want for the trip, type a name and click Save full kit. Items stay on you, the mod only stores a snapshot.
4. Open Base, click Link primary and open your main chest within 30 seconds. Link additional adds more chests within 16 blocks of the primary, up to 17 chests per base.
5. (Optional) Set roles and filters in Chest rules, and add guests on Base. Guests use their own kits on your chests.
6. Select the kit and click Use this kit.
7. Leave: crouch and open any linked chest. The kit is prepared and your departure is recorded.
8. Return: back at the same base, crouch and open a linked chest. New loot goes in, missing kit items come out. Leftovers stay on you and show on Trip status.

Trip status shows the world, base, kit and last report. Abandon trip only clears tracking and never moves items. Full walkthrough with every option in the documentation.

■ Installation

1. Requires Hytale 0.7.0+ (on 0.6.x use 1.0.1)
2. Download RestockAndRoam-1.1.0.jar from the Files tab
3. Drop it in mods/ (global UserData/Mods or per-save mods/)
4. Start the world. Config is at mods/durkz_RestockAndRoam/config.json
5. (Optional) Install BetterClaim to apply claim chest permissions to linked chests

■ Commands and permissions

• /eprep: open the menu (aliases /expedition, /restock, /rr)
• /expedition cancel: cancel a pending 30-second chest link
• expeditionprep.admin: inspect another player's trip, reset tracking, receive update notices

■ Recommended

• Stock SUPPLY or BOTH chests with the food, ammo and spare tools your kit expects before the first crouch.
• Crouch every time you want Restock & Roam. A normal chest open does nothing extra.
• If a turnaround stops early, open Trip status, check your inventory, then Abandon trip before trying again.
• Set checkForUpdates to false in config.json if you do not want operator update chat.
