why don't they make chests that pick up items when they come in contact with an object? that way mob traps could be much more efficent.

Question: who do you expect to create these new chests?

But I doubt it will be implemented, since they are keeping the server as vanilla as possible.

I would acctualy disagree with this for the simple fact that i think it'd be far to overpowered.

For example, i have an auto egg farm, auto cactus farm, auto mushroom farm, auto slime farm, and auto wheat farm, this means that all i'd need to do is put a chest where i'd normaly stand, go afk for a few hours, come back, and have loads of slimes/cacti/mushrooms/eggs, without even having to move a finger, which would mean the prices would end up crashing.

you couldn't do that with a couple of well placed farms and streams?

Not really, since water can only go a certain distance before it has to go down, it probly could be possible, just very complicated, and it would take far more time then placing a few chests where you'd normally stand.
