How to Protect DeadChests from Looting and Griefing

On multiplayer servers, unattended death chests can attract thieves or take collateral damage from creepers and TNT. You can adjust the plugin's settings to lock down player access and prevent block destruction.

Locking Chest Access

1. Open the DeadChest settings in your server's plugin folder.

2. Locate the chest access option and choose between private and public modes.

3. Set chests to private if you want only the original owner and server admins to open them. Switch to public mode only if you want scavenging mechanics where anyone can open a DeadChest and take its contents.

Preventing Block and Explosion Damage

1. Find the grief protection option in the settings and enable protection so players cannot manually destroy someone else's DeadChest and explosions cannot blow it up.

2. Allow griefable chests only if you specifically want raids or explosions to break death containers before their timers expire.

3. Check your protected regions if your server uses WorldGuard. DeadChest includes WorldGuard support so death containers work properly alongside protected areas.

4. Save your changes and apply the updated configuration so new DeadChests follow your protection rules.
