it has been brought to my attention as of last night, and today, that we are allowing Stealing from unlocked chests.
I personally, and as a SMP fanatic, and im well aware that every block of wood, and piece of coal counts towards something in SMP. but one thing i won’t tolerate is stealing. i know it specifically states in the rules here at PCB that unlocked chests are fair game, but i would like to push against this.
Before the map was pasted onto the new server, we all had our chests locked, and when it was pasted, all of those locks were undone. i understand that a lot of players come and go, and leave thier items behind, but i would like to implore people to stop doing this. personally, if i catch someone in the act of stealing from an unlocked chest, im going to do one of two things, either ban you, or steal it back. i mean if the rules are as stated, that you can take from an unlocked chest, then that would make almost everyones chest fair game for me, correct?
bottom line, please treat other’s chests as you would like yours to be, keep your sticky fingers to yourself and play SMP to its fullest, without stealing.
Its not “fair game” as such, more that we can’t enforce anything. If you catch someone feel free to confront them, but the problem is if someone reports their items have been stolen, we can’t do anything about it if the chest was unlocked as we have no way of telling who it was.
I was aware of the issue when I first brought my house to survival. I did some tests within the server as well. If you copy/paste a chest, all protections are gone.
About that iron the other day… I still don’t believe he found that much. I mean, that was nearly 2k iron ingots. 2k coal, I can believe.
Yeah, I kind of miss that chest log. It was interesting just to see who visited your hidden areas too.
sounds good to me. ive personally seen two players who have been on 4 hours or less that the first thing they do is break into someones house, and loot chests.
