About this project
What does RedSpecsAreaUnload add?
Tired of Putting Things Away One Container at a Time?
Now you dont have to! Pre-seed containers with the items you want in those containers and from then on, you can empty your backpack into those containers at a push of a button! (defaults to the N key but can be rebound). This mod will search all containers within a 10 block radius (configurable in the config file) and move each item stack in your backpack first to any containers that have the same item within them. It will attempt to fill existing stacks first before making a new stack. This will add to multiple containers if it runs out of room in the first container it finds.
Want to protect slots from getting emptied?
You totally can do that! Make sure there is an item in the slot you want protected and then press the middle mouse button on that stack. The slot should turn white and that means the slot is now protected from being emptied. You can move the items out of the slot yourself and the slot will remain protected until you put something back in that slot and press middle mouse button on that slot to toggle protections off. Protected slots should save and load to persist across play sessions.
Protecting Chests Against Other Players
System uses the vanilla locking system to protect chests from other players items ending up in container. Craft a plumb and square, reinforce the container and then apply a padlock to lock as indiviual or lock as a team. Then only allowed players to that container will be allowed to dump items into that container. I have added a new copper padlock variant to the mod to make crafting padlocks cheaper.
Please back up your server/world before adding this mod! I am not sure how well this might interact with other mods and what edge cases I may not have found. Please let me know below if you run into a problem and provide what details you can. Thanks!
