PrivateChest 1.6.2

📢 PrivateChest 1.6.2 – Hopper Exploit Patch & Full Container Protection

🛡️ New Protections:

• 🚫 Hoppers can no longer extract items from any protected container.

• 🔐 Applies not only to chests and barrels, but automatically supports any future container types added to PrivateChest (like furnaces, droppers, shulkers, etc.).

• 🧠 Uses smart event handling via InventoryMoveItemEvent to detect and cancel unauthorized item transfers.

🔧 Technical Improvements:

• Protection now checks container ownership via ChestLocker.isChestLocked(...), ensuring consistent behavior.

• No performance impact; event runs only when hoppers are in use.

✅ Recommended For:

• Any server using hoppers, redstone automation, or container protection systems.

• Servers upgrading from 1.6.1 or earlier.

Thank you for using PrivateChest Free!

Support available in English and Spanish.

• ✅ Fixed: Admins with the privatechest.admin permission could not open locked chests they did not own.
   
• 🔓 Admins can now access any protected chest without being the owner, as originally intended.
   
• 🔔 Optionally shows a message when an admin accesses a chest (notify-admin-on-open in config).
   

• This fix improves the reliability of admin control over protected containers.
   
• No changes were made to the core protection or chest data structure.
   

• Server owners, admins, moderators, and anyone with admin permissions.

🧹 New Feature: Smart Auto-Cleanup on Startup

  auto-cleanup-on-start: true
