BananoChests Player Guide

BananoChests lets you lock down your storage so nobody else can steal from it — no keys, no extra items, just a command or a sneak-right-click. This guide covers everything you can do as a player: locking and unlocking, sharing and trust, lock modes, and the full command list.

What you can protect⌗

BananoChests covers a wide range of storage blocks and entities:

• Item storage — Barrels, Chests, Copper Chests, Shulker Boxes, Ender Chests
• Workstations — Blast Furnaces, Brewing Stands, Furnaces, Lecterns, Smokers
• Entities — Armour Stands
• Decorative/entertainment — Chiseled Bookshelves, Copper Golem Statues, Decorated Pots, Hanging Signs, Jukeboxes, Shelves, Signs
• Automation — Hoppers, Crafters
• Miscellaneous — Beacon, Conduit, Creature Spawner

Locking and unlocking⌗

The simplest way to lock or unlock any supported block is to sneak and right-click it with an empty hand. This toggles its lock state instantly — the first player to do this becomes the owner.

You can also do this from a distance with a command, by looking at the block:

/securechest lock
/securechest unlock

A locked block can only be unlocked by its owner (or an admin). There’s a maximum range of 16 blocks for all commands that target a block you’re looking at.

Lock states⌗

Lock modes⌗

Once locked, a storage block also has a Lock Mode , which controls exactly how much access other players get. Set it with:

/securechest setlockmode [accessible|viewable|sealed]

In every mode, only the owner can break the block, change its lock mode, or manage its sharing settings.

Armour stands⌗

Armour stands follow the same ownership and lock rules as storage blocks, with one difference in how locking affects equipment:

• Unlocked — anyone can equip or remove items on the stand, and anyone can break it.
• Locked (any mode) — other players can still place items onto the stand, but cannot remove or swap its equipment, and cannot break it. The owner always retains full access.

Sharing⌗

Sharing grants access to a specific locked block, without affecting anything else you own.

• Shared players get full view/deposit/withdraw access to that block, but cannot break it, lock or unlock it, or change its sharing list — only the owner can do those things.

• You can share with named players, or with @all to make the block available to everyone on the server (handy for public storage). @all is tracked separately from the named-player list.

• Sharing is saved with the block and survives server restarts.

• A server-configured limit caps how many named players you can share one block with (@all doesn’t count against this limit).

  /securechest share target Alice Bob /securechest share target @all /securechest unshare target Alice /securechest unshare target @all

You can also share (or unshare) every block you own within a radius around you, instead of one at a time:

/securechest share inrange 10 Alice Bob
/securechest unshare inrange 20 @all

Trust⌗

Trust is a step up from sharing individual blocks: it’s a personal list of players who automatically get access to all of your locked storage — past and future — without you having to share each block one by one.

• Trusted players get the same access as explicitly shared players (view/deposit/withdraw).

• Trusted players cannot break your storage, lock/unlock it, or share it with others.

• Your trust list is saved with your player data and survives server restarts.

  /securechest trust Alice /securechest trust Alice Bob Charlie /securechest trust status /securechest untrust Alice /securechest untrust @all

Default preferences⌗

You can set personal defaults so you don’t have to lock and configure every block by hand.

Auto-lock — automatically lock a storage type the moment you place it:

/securechest setdefaultautolock [storage type] [autolock|none|status]

Use @all as the storage type to apply the setting to every storage type at once.

Default lock mode — the lock mode a storage type gets when you lock it:

/securechest setdefaultlockmode [storage type] [accessible|viewable|sealed|remove]

Use remove to go back to the server’s default lock mode for that type, or @all as the storage type to set it for everything at once.

Advancements⌗

BananoChests adds its own advancement tree (its own tab in the in-game Advancements screen) that rewards you for exploring its features:

Player commands⌗

All player commands live under /securechest (aliases: /sc, /storage).

The optional byname <type> modifier on the share/unshare commands (e.g. byname chest) rejects the command if the block you’re looking at isn’t the specified type — handy for avoiding mistakes.

Your server administrators also have separate admin-only commands (reloading configuration, force-unlocking a block, clearing advancement progress); those aren’t listed here as they aren’t part of regular play.
