    DropChest - Chests that absorb dropped items
    Version 0.8.2
    [​IMG]
    Important! When migrating from 0.6 to any above version, you have to move the DropChest.txt from server/plugins/DropChest.txt to server/plugins/DropChest/DropChest.txt
    This is because I have to follow the Bukkit plugin saves guidelines.

    This plugin automatically adds dropped items to near chests. That is very useful for automatic farming and monster traps that gather loot.
    Features
    • automatically suck dropped items that are near a chest to that chest
    • customizable warning if the chest is nearly full
    • list your DropChests and watch how much percent is still free
    • Permissions
    • Filter
    • Storage Minecart support
    • Dispenser and Furnace support
    • Item information
    • Chest protection
    • Automatic Owner tracking
    • Double-Chest support

    Usage
    Commands
    Show commands (open)

    To add a chest to the "watchlist", type
    Code:
    /dropchest add [radius]
    After that, rightclick the chest that you want to add. Radius is the radius in which the Chest should suck items. Default value is 2.

    To remove a chest from the "watchlist", just type
    Code:
    /dropchest remove chestid
    where chestid is the number of the chest that you get when you call /dropchest list

    You can list the chests that are on the watchlist via
    Code:
    /dropchest list
    You can adjust the radius of a chest via
    Code:
    /dropchest setradius chestid radius
    You can check which id and radius the Chest in front of you has:
    Code:
    /dropchest which
    after that, rightclick on the Chest to get information about it.
    If you are sitting in front of the console, or don't want to rightclick, you can use
    Code:
    /dropchest info chest
    It will generate the same output as /dc which.

    You can teleport to a chest via
    Code:
    /dropchest tp chestid
    where chestid is the ID of the dropchest

    You can set the name of a DropChest via
    Code:
    /dropchest setname {chestid} {newname}
    The name is displayed in chest is full warnings, and in the DropChest list!

    If you migrate from 0.6 to 0.7, you can set the owner of a dropchest by typing:
    Code:
    /dropchest setowner {chest} {newowner}
    You can protect a chest by typing
    Code:
    /dropchest protect {chest} {on|off}
    You can always use /dc instead of /dropchest if you are lazy.

    Another very helpful command is /dcitem:
    Code:
    /dcitem [NAME|id]
    
    This can be used to obtain the name of an item by it's id or get an id of the item-name.
    This doesn't work with all names, though.

    Use the new command /chestinfo {name|id} to get info about what's inside the chest.
    Omit the argument and rightclick on any chest to get info about that.
    Example:
    Code:
    >/dcitem 4
    4 is COBBLESTONE
    >/dcitem cobblestone
    COBBLESTONE is 4
    

    Show Configuration (open)

    You can configure DropChest by pasting the contents of the following block to plugins/DropChest/dropchest.cfg
    Code:
    #Should the dropchest drop items when it gets a redstone signal?
    droponredstone=true
    #How long should the dropchest not suck items after it has dropped them
    waitafterdrop=10
    #Should users be able to protect chests like in LWC?
    usercanprotectchest=true
    #Which is the default radius if you omit the radius argument in /dropchest add?
    defaultradius=2
    #Which should be the maximum radius for players that have not dropchest.setBig and aren't ops?
    fallbackradius=15
    #At which fill-status should the chest warn you?
    warnfillstatus=90
    #Which message should appear as warning?
    #You can use this variables (example):
    # $owner : the owner of the chest (narrowtux)
    # $name  : the name of the chest (my superduper mobtower chest/#42)
    # $fill  : The fill status, in percent (81)
    warnmessage=$owner, your chest $name is nearly full($fill%).
    

    Filter / Storage Minecarts
    Show Filter/Storage Minecarts (open)

    Filters have changed in version 0.6. There are now 3 seperate filters that are for sucking items, pulling items from passing minecarts and pushing them to passing minecarts.
    You can now set the filters by either using commands or using the interactive mode. Let me show you the interactive mode first:
    to begin, type
    Code:
    /dropchest filter {suck|push|pull}
    Note: choose one of suck, push or pull, please (for example /dropchest filter suck)
    Then you will enter the interactive mode. In this mode you can edit the selected filter by hitting the chest with the desired item in your hand.
    To edit another filter, type the above command again.
    To finish your filter, type
    Code:
    /dropchest filter finish
    Commands mode:
    Code:
    /dropchest filter {suck|push|pull} {chestid} {itemid|itemtype|clear}
    Call the filter-command like above, as second argument, use the chest-ID, and as third argument, either type the item-ID, the name of the item (as they appear here: org.bukkit.Material) or type clear to clear this filter.
    Please note! The suck filter acts different from the Pull/Push-Filter when it's empty. When the suck-filter is empty, the chest will suck every item. When a Pull/Push filter is empty, it won't take or give any items to a passing minecart.

    Show Permissions nodes (open)

    You can use these nodes:
    • dropchest - To get the right to use DropChest
    • dropchest.create - To call /dropchest add
    • dropchest.remove - To call /dropchest remove chestid
    • dropchest.radius.set - To set the radius of a Chest to something else than 2
    • dropchest.radius.setBig - To have unlimited radius
    • dropchest.which - To have access to the /dropchest which command
    • dropchest.teleport - To be able to teleport via /dropchest tp chestid
    • dropchest.filter - To set or reset filters
    • dropchest.filter.set - To set filters in interactive mode
    • dropchest.filter.reset - To reset filters in interactive mode (click with nothing in hand)
    • dropchest.list - To have access to /dc list and /dc info
    • dropchest.destroy - To be able to break a dropchest without removing it before.
    • dropchest.protect - To be able to protect a chest
    • dropchest.moderator - To be able to modify a dropchests properties even if you're not the owner. Also, ops and the console can do that.
    You can use these variables:

    • dropchestmaxradius - To adjust the maximum radius for a group or a user
    How to use variables:

    Code:
    users:
      narrowtux:
        info:
          dropchestmaxradius: 1000
    
    This is just an example and this also works with groups!

    Or check if there is a farm nearby with things growing within 2-3 blocks of the DropChest and just ignore that.. I don't know if you like can determine age of a certain item? Are all spawned items unique? If so you probably can exclude just recently farmed items. That would be a better solution imo. If you blacklisted items they of course wouldn't be absorbed if dropped by human.

    Another thing, does anyone know how this works with 818? It seems like a must-have plugin :)

    It's only possible to determine how long the specific item has been in the world, but this is resetted of course, when the player picks it up and drops it again.
    Also, a farm-detection for this would be too much an overkill ;) So I will implement the blacklist and this should be enough ;)
    Works.

    If this works with 818, you should update the topic so you don't get moved to INACTIVE :)

    Anyone tried it with 860?
     
  7. can you please add that blacklist function please?

    It's already updated ;) Didn't try it yet with 860, but it should work with it also, bc there haven't been so much changes to the api.

    can youplease fix the "warning dc full" messages, so only owner of dc will receive messages or that i can disable all warning-full-messages?

    at the moment all players receive this messages on my server.

    it would be amazing if you know how like dispensers can shoot arrows at each other? Have u considered making it so the dispensers can recycle the arrows? Like dispenser A shoots at dispenser B and Dispenser B absorbs Dispenser A's arrows. That would be EPIC. Could stop alot of server lag 2 because all server lag I've seen from traps like this is caused by way to many arrows stuck in the wall.

    I tried it works jst fine :)

    Currently not, I'm very commited to a special server plugin (just for one custom server, more details later), which is currently not done. When I completed that, I'll put some love into the rest of my plugins.

    I wonder does it work absorbing items into player inventory?
    I was thinking about this plugin.

    No, it absorbs items into chests inventories.

    nubpro

    I mean is there anyways it can absorb items into player's inventory?
     
  17. Offline

    narrowtux

    I don't understand what you mean, because Minecraft absorbs the items by default?
     
  18. Offline

    nubpro

    Just a example:
    /absorb
    - Absorbing the whole items which drop out from anywhere in the map's.
    Understand now?

    narrowtux

    Yes. That's not possible with DropChest at the moment.
    Could add it, though

    I want to make an automatic storage/warehouse with minecarts. But that ain't possible if it always push objects to all minecarts passing.
    I would really like the option pushonredstone.
    Also I think a stack push is needed so that I could have 10 pushes each time a minecart goes by. It should be a filter for each minecart.

    Right now I will probably need some repeater that sends 10 pulses to the right chest and makes it drop items for a minecart chest to pick up.

    Please tell me if you need help, I don't know java but I can help by writing the code in speaked/general form.

    Hey, as far as I can read from your description, it should be possible to use the "storage mincarts" as well. But this does not seem to work for me, why is this? :)

    narrowtux

    DropChests can push or pull items from storage minecarts.
    Storage minecarts itself don't pickup items.

    Zalastax

    Is it possible to make it only push while powered?
    I would really need that for my future warehouse.
    You already made drop on power so why don't you add push on power too?
    If you have time it would be really nice to be able to set push or drop on power for each individual chest.
     
  27. Offline

    narrowtux

    That's what I planned, providing different minecart actions, e.g. drop, push, pull, absorb.
    The actions can be set per-chest, so you've got the maximum freedom to design your warehouse or whatever you need.
     
  28. Offline

    Zalastax

    But still it won't be possible to have different actions based on if a chest is powered or not?
    I don't want to set te chest every time, I want a button that powers the chests with diamonds when I push my "Get :Diamond button". When the diamond chests are powered they will push diamonds to all minecarts with chests.

    Zalastax

    Please answer this:
    Can you make normal chests do different things depending on if they are powered or not?
    I want my chests to pull stuff when they are unpowered and push stuff when they are powered?
    It could be set for all chests globally in the settings file, or preferably individually for each chest.
