Chest Packing

Chest packing lets players pack configured materials from a placed chest inventory instead of only their own inventory.

Configuration

chest_pack:
  enabled: true
  command: true
  smart_packer_item: true
Setting Behavior
enabled Master switch for all chest inventory packing
command Allows /pack chest in command mode
smart_packer_item Allows Smart Packer item use to pack an open chest inventory

Players need smartpack.use and smartpack.chest.

Command Mode

When activation.mode is COMMAND, players can pack a placed chest with:

/pack chest

The player must be looking at a chest or trapped chest within their block interaction range. If no chest is targeted, SmartPack sends the configured message.error.no_chest_target message.

/pack chest follows the same pack recipe, validation, inventory safety, and exclusion logic as normal packing, but it targets the chest inventory.

`/pack chest` targets the chest the player is looking at and reports the packed result.

Smart Packer Item Mode

When activation.mode is SMART_PACKER_ITEM, players can open a chest and right-click the Smart Packer item in their own inventory. SmartPack packs the open chest inventory instead of the player inventory.

If no chest inventory is open, right-clicking the Smart Packer packs the player inventory as usual.

Feedback

Chest packing uses a chest-specific no-materials message:

message:
  error:
    chest_nothing_to_pack: "Chest does not have any valid materials to pack."

This makes it clear that the chest inventory was checked, not the player's inventory.

Cooldowns

If Smart Packer cooldown mode is enabled, chest packing through the Smart Packer item starts and respects the same per-player cooldown as player-inventory packing.

/pack chest in command mode is not a Smart Packer item use, so it does not use the Smart Packer item cooldown.
