================ 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, :doc:`regions ` are a preferred method of defining ownership because it does not have problems involving blocks like hoppers. .. tip:: If you are interested in single-block chest protection, we recommend utilizing third-party chest protection plugins like `Lockette `_ or `LWC `_. Getting Started =============== Chest protection must first be enabled in the :doc:`config`. 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. .. note:: Chest protection in WorldGuard does not support UUIDs. .. warning:: Due to changes in Minecraft 1.8, updating from an older version of Minecraft may destroy all lock signs. In fact, it will destroy all signs that have square brackets (``[`` and ``]``) around text.
