Summary Super Chest v1.1.0 focuses on three major improvements: a stronger multiplayer access-control module, a redesigned and more practical storage UI, and a larger upgrade-component system. The update makes the mod more suitable for multiplayer servers by adding ownership, access modes, permission entries, password protection, and synchronized permission handling. At the same time, the refactored UI improves large-inventory usability through searching, sorting, merging, locked slots, favorites, upgrade panels, and embedded utility panels. Additional upgrades further expand the Super Chest from a simple large container into a modular storage workstation.
