Version Note
The plugin now supports only servers running on versions 1.20+, not earlier.
Warning: if your server version happens to be 1.21.2 or 1.21.3, check the spoiler below: ​
!! WARNING !!
!! BUNDLES CANNOT BE SUPPORTED in this server version !!
!! DISABLE BUNDLES CRAFTING to avoid duping and various glitches !!
!! or consider upgrading to 1.21.4 !!​

Description
Chests can be placed anywhere in your home but they are never in the perfect place.. With this plugin you can just break them and place them somewhere else without the hassle of picking their content and putting it back inside the chest.

Why Vanilla-Like?
The plugin doesn't add any extra tool/command. Just break the block and it will work as expected.

Features​
  • Not only working for Chests, also for: Hoppers, Furnaces, Barrels.. (see config file)
  • Container items will show the number of current containing stacks as well as up to 4 contained item stacks

  • Containers with the same content can be stacked or not

  • Customizable nesting limit

  • Customizable penalties for carrying traditional containers
What about Shulker Boxes?
Traditional containers can now apply penalties when carried around, unlike shulker boxes!

Penalties
You can customize penalties and their strength by editing the config file, all you need is the list of PotionEffectType(s) and the examples you will find in the file itself.
Enchantment Required
You can also customize the enchantment the handling tool must have in order to drop a portable container when breaking the block. Here is a list of the available Enchantment(s).
