ChestLocked

The Lightweight, Economy-Integrated Protection System
ChestLocked is a modern, high-performance protection plugin designed for survival servers that want more than just "free" locks. It introduces a Chest Tax and Banking System, encouraging a healthy server economy while keeping player containers safe from thieves and griefers.

Core Features

Advanced Protection: Protects Chests, Barrels, Shulker Boxes, Furnaces, Doors, Gates, and even Crafters.

Anti-Exploit Engine:

Piston-Proof: Prevents pistons from moving locked blocks or breaking signs.
Explosion Protection: TNT and Creepers won't dent your secured storage.
Hopper Security: Prevents illegal item extraction via Hoppers or Hopper Minecarts

The "Chest Bank" & Tax System:

Set a daily maintenance fee for locks.
Players can deposit money directly into a specific chest's "Bank."
If the bank runs dry, the chest stays locked, but access is denied until the tax is paid!

Intuitive GUI Management: Shift + Right-Click to open a sleek menu. Manage friends, check tax status, and deposit funds without commands.

Optimized for Performance: Uses an In-Memory Caching System for player data. No constant disk reading or chunk scanning—zero impact on your TPS.

Vault Integrated: Full support for your server's existing economy.

How it Works

Locking: Place a sign on a container, leave the first line blank and Click done
Managing: Shift + Right-click the lock to open the Management Menu.
Adding Friends: Add nearby players to your lock through the GUI—no need to type long usernames.
Taxes: The plugin automatically checks if the "Chest Bank" has enough funds based on the interval set in your config.
