About:

Whenever you place a piston it will be registered in your name. This prevents players from destroying them or claiming them for themselves. PistonChest supports the above plugins which can prevent a piston from accessing a chest if they do not have permission. In this plugin there are certain abilities which modify how the piston behaves, and can be combined to create the ultimate machine. The basic ability is being able to push and retrieve blocks and items from a chest. In order to add an ability the player must use the specified tool (default: stick) then right click on their piston to bring up a GUI from where they can either add items to use abilities or simply turn them on and off. See below for a list of abilities...

To Install,

Copy and paste the 'PistonChest.jar' file into the plugin folder...

No more need for Commands!

Use a stick by default to modify your piston functionality! (Version 1.8)
