Installation

Installation

1. Stop your server.

2. Put ChestProtect.jar in your plugins folder.

3. Start the server once to generate the files.

4. Stop the server again.

5. Edit the files in plugins/ChestProtect.

6. Start the server.

If you use Paper, make sure hopper.disable-move-event is set to false. ChestProtect needs hopper move events to protect containers from unauthorized hopper transfers.

Updating

Always stop your server before installing updates.

The config and locale files automatically add new entries and remove no longer existing entries.

First Setup Checklist

After installing, review these files:

File	Use it for
config.yml	Worlds, database, default player settings, teleportation, economy, integrations, and general behavior.
protectables.yml	Lockable blocks/entities, lock costs, cashback, and hologram defaults.
player-limits.yml	Protection, group, member, and free-protection limits.
roles.yml	Default roles and their role flags.
Locale/	Messages and GUI text.

Then run /chestprotect admin reload or restart the server after config changes. Database type, command aliases, and some integration changes should be applied with a full restart.
