The purpose of this plugin is to restrict access to the contents of chests, dispensers, furnaces, and doors without the use of a database to track containers.

To use, simply place a signpost on the floor directly beside a chest or other container to be locked. Enter [Private] as the first line. Your own name will automatically be entered on line 2 as the chest owner. Optionally type in the full names of two other users allowed to access the chest's inventory on lines 3 and 4.

When done correctly, the sign will automatically fix itself to the side the target chest, protecting it from unauthorized access! Only the chest's owner can then break the sign or chest. (Warning: Anyone with permission to use WorldEdit commands or similar can circumvent the protection by removing the sign.)

Additionally, you can enter [Everyone] on lines 3 or 4 instead of a user name, to allow everyone access to the contents of a private container or [Operators] to allow ops access. If a Permissions plugin is available, you can use groups like [Moderator] or [Admins] or others as defined in the Permissions settings files. (This last bit needs updating, however.)

The owner of a container can add more users by placing additional signs beside the container with the heading [More Users], where lines 2-4 specify the names of the additional users. You can edit the users on previously placed signs by right clicking the sign, and using the command '/lockette <line number> <text>' to change it.


Working with Doors:

To protect a door, you can use the same method as protecting a container, the sign will attach to the door automatically. In addition, you can attach a [Private] wall sign to the block just above or just below a door. For double doors only one side needs a sign.

Once a door is protected, it will only open for someone listed as a user, and will not respond to redstone power or switches. Iron doors which usually won't open from clicking will work just as wooden doors. In addition, double doors will open together automatically.

You can also use [More Users] signs as with containers, with the caveat that the sign cannot be placed on the block above the door! Place these signs on the door itself or on the block below the door. (This is done to prevent a security uncertainty issue with stacked doors.)

Care must me taken to place protected doors on a stable block. Building a door on sand, gravel, leaves, TNT and et cetera are allowed by the plugin, but cannot be secured fully.
