LinkedBookShelf

About

This plugin allows bookshelves to be linked to adjacent blocks that contain an inventory. When a player right clicks on a bookshelf, if there is a block touching it that has an inventory then that blocks inventory will be opened to the player.

This allows players to create usable bookshelves which can seemingly store items just by placing, for instance, a chest behind a bookshelf.

This approach is simple and does not require the use of database to serialize objects stored in a bookshelf. Additionally, if usage of the plugin were to be discontinued on a server then the player's items are still safe in the chests the bookshelves are linked with. Since the plugin does not touch the stored items, they are future proof from loosing added meta data in future versions of Minecraft that might not be explicitly handled by a plugin that would need to serialize inventory data.

Hide chests adjacent to bookshelves, right click bookshelf to open:

Chests below bookshelves will open even if they normally wouldn't:

Sneak clicking on a linked bookshelf works the same way it would for a normal container, allowing you to build onto existing bookshelves. The plugin sends out an event before opening the linked container. This event can be cancelled by other plugins that are meant to protect containers from other players.
