Chest Protection¶
WorldGuard provides rudimentary self-serve chest protection that a player may utilize by placing a sign underneath their chest with specially formatted text. We generally advise new setups to not use this chest protection as it is not an actively updated part of WorldGuard. In addition, regions are a preferred method of defining ownership because it does not have problems involving blocks like hoppers.
Warning
Chest protection in WorldGuard does not support UUIDs, so users will not be able to access chests if they change names. It also operates independently of regions and other protection.
It is highly recommended to not use this feature in WorldGuard, but use a dedicated plugin such as LWC Extended if you need single-block, sign-based protection. The feature will be removed from WorldGuard in a future version.
Getting Started¶
Chest protection must first be enabled in the Configuration. With it disabled, chest protection will not be active but it will still not be possible to make “lock signs” (however, this can also be disabled in the configuration).
A sign is protected as long as a special sign is placed under a chest. This sign:
- Must be a sign post
- Must be under a chest or inventory (for double chests, it only needs to be under one side)
- Have the text
[Lock]on the first line - Have the player’s username on the second line
- Have up to two more other players’ names on the next two lines
It is not possible to place someone else’s name on the second line.
