AutoPickup
Presentation
AutoPickup is simple plugin that gives items and experience directly to the player instead of dropping them on the ground when a block is broken or an entity is killed. AutoPickup can also disable drops from entities that died naturally without any player interaction such as a zombie burning when the sun rise up.
Configuration
AutoPickup generates a default configuration. This configurations might be modified to enable or disable specific mechanics for blocks or entities. Configuration files can be found in the config/autopickup/configs/ folder, the structure of a file is pretty simple but for more information, open this page: Configuration.
Permissions
Once you configured the plugin, you might want to give these permissions to your players:
autopickup.entity.experience
Allows to automatically pickup experience orbs when an entity is killed.
autopickup.entity.item
Allows to automatically pickup items when an entity is killed.
autopickup.block.experience
Allows to automatically pickup experience orbs when a block is broken.
autopickup.block.item
Allows to automatically pickup items when a block is broken.
Updates
AutoPickup automatically connects to the Ore repository to check for updates. By default, the console and all players having the permission autopickup.update.notify will be notified when an update is available but it can be disabled by editing the following configuration file: config/autopickup/update.conf.
I’d make a suggestion regarding the item pickup to add in some kind of like title screen notifier for when the players inventory is full; kinda like an alert so that players are aware of it and will stop mining/etc.
I did just test on SpongeForge and SpongeVanilla and I have no issue. When breaking, the chest and all items in the chest are directly teleported to the player’s inventory.
Open an issue on github with more details (versions, logs, etc …) so I can help you.
