ResurrectionChest Setup

First-Time Setup Menu​

The first time an admin with resurrectionchest.* joins, ResurrectionChest will warn that setup has not been completed yet. They can open the first-time setup menu with:

/resurrectionchest initialize

The menu offers three buttons:

  • Recommended Setup — marks setup complete and walks the admin through Nightbreak login and content install.
  • Manual Setup — marks setup complete and leaves content management up to the admin.
  • Use Current Content — marks setup complete and keeps whatever is currently installed (works for vanilla-only setups too).

All three buttons flip setupDone to true in config.yml and dismiss the first-time setup warner. The plugin works without ever clicking these — the warner just stops nagging once setupDone is true.

Content Setup Menu​

/resurrectionchest setup

Opens the Nightbreak content browser. From there, admins can:

  • view all ResurrectionChest content packs (Wooden Chest, Angelic Chest)
  • install or uninstall packs (which moves model files between FreeMinecraftModels' models and models_disabled folders)
  • filter packs by Free or Premium
  • read installation instructions and open relevant Nightbreak links via the info button

When a pack is installed or uninstalled, ResurrectionChest reloads FreeMinecraftModels automatically so the chest props refresh.

/resurrectionchest downloadall downloads every available ResurrectionChest pack from Nightbreak in one go (requires a linked Nightbreak account). /resurrectionchest updatecontent (alias updateall) re-downloads only the packs that are outdated.

Registering A Chest​

  1. Place a chest.
  2. Place a wall sign attached to that chest.
  3. Write the configured trigger text on line 1 or line 2 of the sign.

The default trigger text is:

[DeathChest]

When the sign is accepted, ResurrectionChest:

  • rewrites the sign (line 1 is cleared, line 2 shows the trigger text in purple, line 3 shows the player's display name, line 4 is cleared)
  • stores that chest for the player
  • removes the player's previous registered chest entry if they already had one

There is no command-based chest-registration flow.

Setup Rules​

  • The player needs resurrectionchest.use.
  • Setup is blocked in blacklisted worlds.
  • The accepted sign must be a wall sign attached to a chest.
  • Any wall-sign material works because the code checks for wall-sign block types, not one specific sign material.

Single And Double Chests​

  • A normal single chest works immediately.
  • If a registered chest later becomes part of a double chest, ResurrectionChest detects the change and updates its internal chest/model state.
  • Death drops can fill both sides of a double chest inventory.

Removal Behavior​

Breaking either of these removes the registration:

  • the registered chest
  • an attached sign belonging to that registered chest

When a registration is removed (by any trigger — breaking the chest, breaking the sign, or destroying it through the FreeMinecraftModels prop), the plugin also automatically breaks any wall signs still attached to that chest block.

The plugin also cancels attempts to edit the registered setup sign in place.

If a custom chest prop is active, sneak + left-click on the prop also removes the registration (only the chest's owner can do this — see Config and Permissions).

Protection Warning​

ResurrectionChest is not a protection plugin.

  • It does not stop other players from opening the physical chest.
  • It does not stop other players from breaking the physical chest or sign if your server protection setup allows that.

Use region protection or another chest-protection solution if you need access control.
