Chest Finder
Purpose: ChestFinder is an admin-focused Bukkit/Spigot plugin that tracks player chest interactions (PLACED / OPENED) so server operators can audit, monitor, and locate chests.
ChestFinder — Easy chest tracking for server admins
ChestFinder tracks when players place or open chests so server admins can audit activity, find chests, and get alerts for suspicious behavior.
Features
Tracks chest interactions (PLACED / OPENED) per player. In-game admin GUI to browse players and view chest locations. Export player history to CSV (plugins/ChestFinder/exports/). Highlight nearby tracked chests with particles. Watchlist + alerts and suspicious-speed detection (configurable). Storage: local YAML (chests.yml) or MySQL (migrate in-game). Commands (examples)
/cf gui — open admin GUI
/cf config — run setup wizard to choose storage
/cf export
/cf highlight — show nearby tracked chests
Quick install
Drop the JAR into your plugins/ folder. Start the server. As an OP run /cf config to finish setup (choose local or MySQL). (MySQL only) Put a MySQL JDBC driver on the server classpath or in plugins/. Config
Edit config.yml in the plugin folder to change storage-type, alerts, highlight options, auto-purge days, and ignored-players. Compatibility
Built for Bukkit API 1.13+ — works on CraftBukkit, Spigot, Paper, and compatible forks. Test on your server version (material/particle names can vary across Minecraft versions).
Privacy & Performance
Data is stored server-side (YAML or MySQL). Local storage keeps records in memory and writes async; for very large servers prefer MySQL. Auto-purge option helps limit storage size. v1.0 — Quick changelog
Initial release: chest tracking, GUI, local/MySQL storage, setup wizard, export, highlights, alerts, auto-purge.
