Magic Chest
Nobody enjoys rummaging through inventories to organize the contents. Why not hand that job down to the gremlins? Magic Chest auto-sorts your inventories while you have them closed, so that when you open them they are completely sorted and it's easy to find your stuff.
How It Works
1. Stacks of the same material are combined.
2. Stacks are sorted by item name.
3. Stacks of the same item name are sorted by Data (i.e. Wool Color)
4. Stacks with the same name and Data are sorted by Quantity (So the incomplete stack will be last)
- Note: Chests that are renamed in an anvil or that do not have the default Minecraft inventory title are excluded from sorting.

Link me to your permissions file in some way so that I can look at it.

Posted May 28, 2013I have added permissions for this plugin, but it still says that people don't have permission. Any ideas?

I'm on it. I just talked to the dev of the plugin. We'll see how this turns out. In the meantime, I'm very sorry the plugin hasn't worked for you in that respect.

Posted May 28, 2013I've been using this plugin for about six months on my server. I like my chests sorted. Unfortunately, I've recently started adding Citizens NPC characters to one of my worlds, and have run into a conflict that I could only resolve by removing Magic Chests.
Some of my NPCs are merchants created using dtlTraders. When clicked on, the player is presented with the buy/sell inventory of that particular merchant as a chest inventory. There is a wool cube in the bottom right corner of the inventory that allows you to switch between the buy or sell inventories. Sorting this inventory moves the 'command cube' out of it's lower right position, and thus causes dtlTraders to fail.
Is there something that can be done to make these plugins play nice together? Either something I can do in the configuration, a change to this plugin to prevent sorting of dtlTrader inventories, or a way for the author of dtlTraders to prevent Magic Chests from sorting trader inventories.
I miss my sorted chests, but obviously the NPC traders are going to take priority if I am forced to choose. Thanks!

Ok I will be able to work on that this afternoon. See if the last release is good enough for a little bit. (check the changelog for what I updated).

Thank you for the quick answer... I want by default, every users on my server to be able to use magic chest, Op or not... with nothing to type or no permissions to set
It used to be like that on my old server (2 months ago) with magic chest. (Basically before your update :P)
Thanks in advance if you can help me with that

How did I mess it up? Just tell me what you want me to fix and I'll write some new code according to your needs. That's what the dev is here for. :-)

Posted May 28, 2013This plugin was one of the best until you had to mess up with permissions to allow all users to use it .... If someone would give me a version of this working without any permissions, i'd be glad.

Just added an option in the latest version for you! For version 1.1.4 and above! Added a default_sorting option for the config.yml file. To use this feature, stop your server, delete your MagicChest config.yml file, start it again, edit the option in the config.yml and then type /mgcs reload in game.

Posted May 6, 2013Ok but is the auto sorting automatically "on"? Because I would like my players don't use command but that I give them a "permission" to sort. Because I don't want that they have to think about any plugin in game... Thanks

If you don't want your players to use the command, just change magicchest.sort to -magicchest.sort. The command /mgcs on is what players need to use to turn auto sorting on.

Yes it does work with 1.5.2 just tested it. Make sure your plugin actually loaded in the server.
