So I've asked ingame, and gotten a really silly, rationalized run-around about why we can't lock chests with the server command/plugin or whatever that I've seen on so many other servers. And all of the reasons are (hear me out here) really dumb. Because:

1. Cobblestone locks chests anyways ...

2. ... wait, that's it. Cobble locks chests! Any block does really.

... so i mean, the argument I've heard is that we're a survival server. Well, there's nothing "survival" about being able to lock out all guests from your realm, ... that protects your chests too.

So we have placing a block on your chest, or going no visitors, to protect your stuff.

So then what's with the hardcore attitude about "oh, we're too survival to let people lock their chests!" when YOU CAN ANYWAY with cobble or privacy settings?!?

I just want the REAL REASON. Explains it to me. Is there an exploit, some balance thing we're worried about. Because if not, I'd just prefer to lock my chest with a command than have to ban visitors from seeing my awesome constructions, or having to eyesore it up with blocks of cobble on top of my chests.

Holla.

Why do we need another plugin if our realm plugin already locks chests?
You're asking us to add another plugin to replace something that already exists...

say u wanna show someone ur cool area and pimped out treasure room, but dont want dumb blocks of cobblestone blocking up the view and making everything look stupid?

say, u want to have it so that guests can come freely in and out of your realm without destroying blocks or accessing your inventory, but you don't want to have to bust a block off your chest and replace it every time u need to get something.

solution: locking chests.

Make a private realm and leave visitors on. If you don't trust someone enought not to steal from you, why would you even show them your treasure room?

It is never going to happen. I don't see the trouble of going to another server and joining one with locking chests. Minerealm has never had locking chests and there has been no problems with it.

Make a redstone lock!

You're saying that the system is too hard for you, so the easiest thing to do would be to completely overhaul the system.
You are the most self centered person I've ever seen that wasn't actively preaching to have me banned.

Cobble can be removed by ANYONE!

Ockham's razor...

If placing a block over your chest disables it.

If your only problem is the aesthetics of the treasure room. Why not make another room for putting stuff.. and leaving empty chests in the treasure room.

Additional plug-in would add more stress to the server.

Also its obvious that is we have a locking chest plug-in.. we would need a key plug-in.. to open and lock our locked chests.. obviously.. *srs face*
