Haha!

Error that I receive:

Can I do something about it?

I'm getting a problem, very alike (if not identical) with Keetveter.
This seems to be a mayor error, which narrowtux should either try to fix, (maybe) update the post to not say it supports Lockette, or simply disable this plugin if its not taken care of...

Maybe you should update the pictures and documentation since now you need a gap between the piston and the chest.

I don't think NarrowTux even looks this any more?

Before installing/using PistonChest.jar (or perhaps other plugins from this developer), you should all be aware that it auto-downloads NarrowTuxLib which subsequently auto-downloads multiple other plugins without any disclosure, explanation, or permission. On top of that, older plugins like Register.jar are somewhat incompatible and generate SEVERE errors on startup.

This developer has made a (substantially incorrect) assumption that, by default, it is OK to establish remote connections (to tetragaming.com, getspout.org, etc.) and download whatever he feels like to minecraft servers without permission, which potenitally results in a host of other issues - stability, security, configuration, and otherwise. At a bare minimum, this practice is potentially being used to log/harvest ip addresses for minecraft server locations (including private servers) @ 3rd party locations. In addition, the developer intentionally does not log these connections/destinations in the minecraft server log.

NetworkUtils.java:
"Downloads from the given url to the file without spamming the log."

Until there is full disclosure, an improvement to the included code, better user control over what is being downloaded, and a different set of default options, I would think twice before installing this plugin. I would also suggest that this plugin be reviewed by bukkit mods and disabled until these issues are corrected. ( @Plague )

The developer may have the best of intentions (requires review), but the execution is clearly invasive and potentially compromises private minecraft servers. Perhaps the developer would like to indicate how the dowloads are being logged at various remote sites and how that information is going to be (or has been) stored/used.

And, btw, I found this issue because I had installed some plugins and subsequently noticed startup errors on my server that I initially didn't realize were happening. So, I had to spend time going through plugins one-by-one trying to find out where the problems were coming from and why there were unsolicited code downloads to my server configuration.

what hapenned?

please update

it didn't work for me is there a command?

Any reply on how/why private minecraft server information such as IP address is being logged and used by you or others on remote systems and why you do not disclose that you establish remote connections and download unsolicited code?

hey i was just thinking, we also have mine cart with chest. it will be cool if you push block in the minecarts. can you?

No matter how much I try, and no errors are in console, I cannot get PistonChest to work on my server. Currently running CB 1337 on MC 1.8.1 and this is my plugins list, anything that would conflict with it?

ServerLogSaver, PluginList, TelePlusPlus, AutoMessage, BukkitLink, Giant Trees, xWarp, MobileAdmin, SecretSwitch, My Worlds, Tombstone, RemoteToolkitPlugin, PumpkinDiver, PistonChest, PlgDisableCmd, ClayGen, MinecartManiaCore, MinecartManiaStation, PlgLogCmd, SuperSpawn, Essentials, WorldEdit, EssentialsSpawn, MinecartManiaAutomations, CraftBukkitUpToDate, Spawn, SupplySign, ExtendedSigns, MobRepellent, DropChest, ColoredSigns, EssentialsChat, rTriggers, EssentialsProtect, PermissionsEx, milkAdmin, WorldGuard, Minequery, MinecartManiaSignCommands, NoLagg, ChestShop, MonsterBox, NarrowtuxLib, LWC, dynmap, Towny

I've noticed I have to have two gabs between the closed piston and chest. CB for MC 1.0
Is there an issue with pistonchest not working with locked chests? Default settings.

Yeah, that's intended. You can turn that behaviour OFF in the config.

It's just a library, calm down
And I don't care about the logs actually. I'm just trying to make installation easier for server owners.

I saw that setting, I miss interpreted the setting. Sorry about that.

No problem

Pushing does not work anymore with dev builds:

Pulling works normal.
Please, update!

i use this plugin and i can pull items out of chests but not push items into them what is wrong?

I'm getting the same HUGE error every time time any piston on the map extends! I would GREATLY appreciate having this resolved! Please update this! This is a HUGE part of my server's functionality. Many people, if not EVERYONE is getting this GIANT mess of errors from the pistons, whether they are pushing into a chest or just extending! You can view the error in previous replies. PLEASEEE fix this NarrowTux!!

Please update for the latest RB

Awesome mod while it worked, any chance of it being updated?

UPDATE IT!

I geht this error

Does this mod push item blocks into chests or just whole blocks?

i got the same problem

Ehm idk if u can make, but if u make it so when items is finish from furnaces, its automaticly just turn on redstone that is wiring to the furnace, and then u for example could make it so when the furnace is finished smelt just 1 item, it will take the stuff from it, into the chest by redstone??

i think this has gone inactive his last known post was nov,22, 2011

what about making a plugin where you can drop things into chests

You mean drop the item next to a chest and it sucks it in? Look up DropChest.

I would really like to see this plugin updated, helped keep my stone/cobblestone chestshops filled.
