- Double‑Chest Freedom – Grab both chests or split them and place anywhere; the plugin keeps track.
- Persistent Containers – All container contents are saved with the type of database you choose (SQLite, MySQL, MariaDB or PostgreSQL).
- Multi‑Lingual – Built‑in: `en_us`, `es_es`, `fr_fr`, `de_de`, `pt_br`, `pl_pl`, `zh_cn`, `ko_kr`, `ja_jp`, `vi_vn` and `tr_tr`.

- Granular Container Permissions – Specific permissions for each container type (e.g., chests, hoppers, barrels).

## 📦 How It Works
1. Sneak (shift). 2. Empty hands. 3. Right‑click a mob or container. 4. Strut away. 5. Right‑click air to place (double‑chest halves can be reunited or live separate lives – you decide).
> 💡 Tip: Like a Russian nesting doll, containers can carry more containers... inside other containers... inside you. Just try not to shulkerception yourself into a lag spike. (Can be disabled in config.)
How weight works
(Weight is based on `maxHealth 2`, and the slowness level is based on `maxHealth 2 / 20`) Example: A Warden is 1000Kg (`500❤ 2`) and a Cow is 20Kg (`10❤ 2`), if `settings.max_weight` is 100 you can carry the Cow but not the Warden and you will be slowed down by 1 level.
## ⚙️ Configuration
```yml settings: max_weight: 100. 0 # How heavy before legs give out? allow_player_pickup: false # Turn friends into kettle‑bells? allow_lootin_pickup: false # Ignore Lootin‑protected chests? prevent_container_stacking: false # Prevent nesting containers inside picked-up containers? ```
Edit ➜ `restart` ➜ profit.
