Hi robin, great plug !

So, this is my observation .. when i try run your plug with MinecartMania Chest Control, redstone signal all of the chest items drops off the chest, so i can't launch my cart from chest wit MCM ..

Can u please add config file, when i'll can change the option (true/false) like DisableChestDispensing ?

Ty for answer in advence !

Yes .. and maybe try update this to latest RB[617] .. if u can

 

Added!

 

U are my man <3

 

How does this affect memory usage? My server is right on the edge of laggy.

 

Would it be possible to make a chest absorb only a specified item and output redstone power whenever a chest absorbs an item?

I want to make a chest absorb a gold ingot (and not absorb anything else) and trigger a dispenser when it does.

 

It would be great if you can add, in the config file parameter to choose all chest or not, and if not a command like /absorb.
I just want to absorb items on 10 chests x)
Thx

 

We've got a conflict with Minecart Mania, Afforess said he'll be in contact to help resolve it.

 

Hey, just started playing with this addon and i like it, very handy.

Just wanted to throw out a suggestion, though: what about chests only absorb items while powered, and empty on the power off event? That way a chest that never comes in contact as redstone still behaves as a normal chest would. The empty on power off event may cause a slight inconvenience when modifying a structure, but personally I think it'd be worth it to easily have an in-game method of making the majority of chests still act as normal chests.

Also, one bug I've noticed, sometimes when activating a chest to dispense it will immediately suck some of the material back in, in mid-air. I'm assuming this is the timing of the sweep ticking right after the chest receives the redstone power.

 

Could you do the above and also make an option for chests to only absorb if they're on a certain block type i.e. I want them only to work on top of gold blocks.

 

Actually that would probably be an easier solution then mine to implement since you already have code checking the blocks below the chest and would work just as well for giving the server admin a choice of how "rare" the chests would be.

 

this is working for 670 for other people ? its complaining about passing event player move to this plugin.

me too... so let's wait for the update

 

Fixed.

 

Nice Plugin

But we need a suck radius and

 

Hello Robin!

When I try to download the newest version I'm getting 1.6.
I think the download link is wrong.

Kind regards,

l104693

 

In the 1.7 version, chests don't seem to be accepting items. Furnaces work fine (haven't tried dispenser/jukebox).

Thanks for the hardwork on this, really enjoy the plugin.

 

I have same issue I really miss this plugin, it's very usefull for building farms ..

 

null pointer is fixed but chests still not absorbing items.......

 

Is "absorb-chest" true?

 

All absorbs set to true. Chests and dispensers not absorbing (don't have a jukebox to check; furnace works).

 

Is in the chest any free space?

 

Yes, tried with half empty chests, empy chests, empty dispensers. Tried uninstalling the .jar and config as well. This is on 670.

 

shame bukkit broke the plugin its one of the most sorely missed on server players are asking about it all the time

 

I am having the same problem with this plugin. 1.5 destroyed items when the chest was full. 1.7 doesn't absorb at all for any chests. Any idea what changed? or at least post the old code so we can look at it?

 

Fixed chests again!

 

Working again, thanks very much!

I lied...sort of. The chests seem to be eating (destroying) items after sucking them in. Been testing this with stacks of blocks. Seems that the first item gets sucked in properly but anything else is destroyed.

Anyone else had this issue?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Would really like to see the absorbtion being active only when it is triggered by redstone. this way they would function the same as before and those who need the absorb functionality for instance their mob traps could just add redstone current to it.

 

personally i would rather not power it to collect, maybe have a config option for it. then you can toggle the way you want it to work would be best.

i use these chests on my mob grinder, so they auto pickup the loot,

 

Yes a config option to have them powered by redstone would be ideal.

 

Yes i would like this plugin on my server but there's a few things stopping me.

1. the security risk for all chests To be stolen from (aka bypassing Lwc Im sure you could connect to lwc and run a simple check b4 emptying the items. It would not be required for this plugin to run its just a simple fix for those that do use it.)

2. Should really have A way to only make some chests Into absorb chests this would improver performace 10 fold.
Think about it running checks on say 30 chests vs 300 Big difference.
