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.

Posted Apr 5, 2013NOTICE: Changed all permissions in v1.1.2 to default to not allow usage unless you are an op! Please update your permissions file with - magicchest.sort if you wish for players to be able to use this plugin again!

At the moment, the way the code works, there is no way that it could conflict with any other plugin. I'm not all that sure that it is magic chest.

Posted Apr 3, 2013I don't think it is sorting them as it has a piece of paper in the chest which sorts them when clicked in Globalbank. Maybe that's where the problem lies... :)

Ok more than likely it isn't magic chest causing the drop problems but may I ask if magic chest is sorting global banks chests when you don't want it to? Just curious.

Posted Apr 3, 2013Yes, I still got errors after removing MagicChest. But, it fixed Globalbank from dropping vault chests. Now I'm testing with herobrine plug removed. To see if errors stop. So I'm thinking the 3 are conflicting. [herobrine, MagicChest & Globalbank]
I can run MagicChest & Herobrine fine no errors. So Far, I can run Globalbank alone with no errors... :)

There is one problem with the error log posted there. There is no error about magic chest found anywhere in that log. We're there any errors after you removed magic chest from the server? Or did you?

When you say make it work, do you mean make it not sort GlobalBank's inventories?

Permissions are backwards on this plugin until I fix them. Change: - -magicchest.sort To: - magicchest.sort

I don't want everyone to be able to use it, just the donator rank.
That error occurs when type any command starting with /mgcs

What command are you running? Perms default to true, if you want everybody to use it, don't add any perms to the perms file.

I installed it, setup the perms, etc.
However, when I try to use the command, I get this error message, despite having OP:

None of my members can use it either?
Any idea's why?
The only message I'm getting in the console is:

Yes, at the moment it works fine in 1.5.1. I don't think the API has taken drastic enough changes to cause any problems yet. If anything starts going wrong, just let me know here.
