From what I can tell, one of the main reasons for ender chests not being implemented on this server is crash bugs. I have THE solution: Create a bukkit plugin that mimics EnderChests by placing a sign on a chest similar to the manner of locking the chest. Format: LINE 1: [EnderChest] LINE 2: @NetworkName LINE 3: <player> LINE 4: (See below) Line 4 could be either be blank for a single-player-locked network, a #friendlist OR '*' (an asterisk) for a public network. To prevent OP-ness and deletion of inventory upon placing of sign on chest, contents of the inventory must match a preset configuration in order for the EnderChest sign to validate (i.e. A sacrifice of items, such as a diamond block which you may or may not get back after destroying said chest/sign). It should also only work with a single-chest inventory. However, a second sign placed upon the second piece of a double chest could link to a separate network. Also, this may have inspired me to get into plugin development. Maybe...
Although this seems Very innovative and interesting, you might want to consider limiting the amount of E-Ender chests per player because an unlimited amount of ender chests with different networks would be too over powered.. Imagine, you could have ender chests scattered around the world connected to harvesters and such. They could all link to one central place which then collects the items from every network and sets them in separate chests... I would suggest about 3 to 5 per person if this is implemented.
have you even heard of the mod before?, because your talking as if you've had a new idea which isn't, thats the basis of EC . this is actually a really awesome idea, i'm surprised someone hasn't thought of it already. This should definitely be possible with all the advanced chest plugins circulating around.
I think there are plugins that do this already but it'd be nice to lock it to people on your friends list.
Also, what I had been considering is the 'lock' on the [EnderChest] sign does not actually lock the chest itself (a normal lock sign would be needed), but instead locks the Network to that group, preventing other players from creating another Emulated Ender Chest on the same network.
Umm, but in the normal enderchest, you can't lock a color code to certain players. We should preserve some features from the normal enderchests. I like this idea thou because the enderchests coming in 1.3 are gonna be close to complete crap.
Yeah, especially since the chests are linked to a player. Think about what would happen if a mod such as BC or RP2 tried to interact with it. Who's inventory does it pull from now? They really borked the Vanilla EnderChests.
In Minecraft 1.3.2 you are limited to 1 ender chest per person, what I would like to see from this plugin is a multiple ender chets linking system.
Maybe we should do it multi server as well? Ender chest is already magic think, and its nice when theres a limit
Lets keep end like notch made it, end is magic thing from the past. I would like to disable all redpower and stuff in end! *voteup* PS: to vote just write *voteup*
or make some jamming, like random wire can just stop working for 5 seconds. Imagine how it will be cool if you build underground base there :3
