📦 AutoBuyChest

AutoBuyChest is a high-performance, exploit-safe automation plugin designed for Paper servers. It connects your server's shop economy directly to player automation—enabling players to craft an AFK Farm Controller, select any item to restock, bind a storage chest, and automatically purchase items using live buy prices from EconomyShopGUI.

Whether you're running armadillo brush farms, auto-fertilizing bone meal setups, fuel dispensers, or potion brewing machines, AutoBuyChest handles the logistics while players are offline or AFK.

✨ Key Features

• 🎯 Universal Item Restocking: Choose any item material (e.g. brush, bone_meal, coal, firework_rocket) to automatically purchase and restock.
• 💰 Accurate EconomyShopGUI Integration: Hooks directly into official EconomyShopGUI APIs to read live shop buy prices (including player discounts and permissions).
• 🔒 100% Exploit & Dupe Safe: Never creates items for free. Strictly checks Vault player balances and prevents transactions if funds are insufficient or storage is full.
• 🧭 Interactive In-Game GUI & Chat Setup: Intuitive right-click menu to configure item types, bind chests, adjust radius, and view live farm stats.
• ⚡ Lightweight Chunk Loading: Keeps farm boundaries loaded using native Paper chunk tickets with configurable per-player and global limits to preserve TPS.
• 📊 Persistent SQLite Storage: Farm configurations and restock statistics persist smoothly across server restarts.
• 🔮 DecentHolograms Support: Optional floating status holograms above active controllers showing stock levels and farm state.
