Chest Finder

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 — export CSV

/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.
