# Player Personal Settings

These settings customize each player's ChestProtect experience. Players can toggle them in `/chestprotect` -> `Settings` if they have permission.

Defaults for new players are configured in `config.yml` under `player.setting`.

| Setting            | What it does                                                                                            | Toggle permission                              |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `PERSISTENT_LOCK`  | Keeps lock and unlock mode active until the player runs `/chestprotect exit` or toggles the mode off.   | `chestprotect.setting.player.persistent_lock`  |
| `PERSISTENT_TRUST` | Keeps trust and untrust mode active until the player runs `/chestprotect exit` or toggles the mode off. | `chestprotect.setting.player.persistent_trust` |
| `AUTO_LOCK`        | Automatically locks protectable blocks when the player places them, if limits and costs allow it.       | `chestprotect.setting.player.auto_lock`        |
| `NOTIFICATIONS`    | Shows messages when the player opens their own protection or one where they are trusted.                | `chestprotect.setting.player.notifications`    |

If a setting is enabled by default, it only applies automatically to new player data. Existing players keep their stored setting until they change it or an admin edits their data.
