EnderStorage

📢 Overview

Expand your storage beyond the limits of a single Ender Chest!

EnderStorage is a powerful, optimized plugin that brings the popular modded storage mechanics to your Paper server. It allows players to create global, shared, or private storage networks using specific color code frequencies.

Instead of having just one private inventory, players can now craft specific chests, tune them to a color frequency (e.g., Red-Red-Red), and access that inventory from anywhere in the world!

✨ Key Features

• 🎨 Frequency System: Use dyes to set 3 color channels (Left, Middle, Right) on your chest. With 16 colors, that's 4,096 unique public inventories!
• 🔒 Private Networks: Toggle "Private Mode" (Diamond button) to create a network unique to you. A "White-White-White" chest owned by you is separate from one owned by someone else.
• 🛡️ Protection System: Toggle "Protect Mode" (Observer button) to prevent other players from changing your chest's frequency settings.
• 💾 Dual Database Support: Comes with SQLite (zero setup) by default, but supports MySQL for large networks.
• 🚀 High Performance: Built with Kotlin and HikariCP for asynchronous data saving and connection pooling. Optimized for Paper 1.20.1+.

🎮 How to Use

1. Craft a Retention Chest (Custom recipe: Wool + Iron + Chest).
2. Place the chest anywhere in the world.
3. Right-Click to open the storage inventory.
4. Shift + Right-Click to open the Settings Menu.

• Click the Dyes to change the frequency (Color Code).
• Click the Diamond to toggle Private Mode.
• Click the Observer to toggle Protect Mode.

1. Place another chest with the same settings anywhere else to access the same items!
