Hey there Redditors,

I need your help. I am the owner of a small SMP server that is being used by my friends and me. Regrettably, there is one friend who steals from everyone else. I gave him a timeout for this, but I´m still worried that he might do it again. I don´t want to permaban him either because he is otherwise fun to play with.

I know of the vanilla commands to lock a chest, and also of a few mods, but I (and my friends) dislike that a key is required to open chests. So is there a mod or vanilla feature that locks chest, but only for certain people without any kind of in-game key or lock? A kind mod that creates a pool of players that are unable to open certain chests?

Thanks in advance!

    If your friend’s idea of fun is stealing from you, ban him. He’s not a real friend.

      I totally get your opinion, and it really does look like that from the outside, but I am really fond of him and he‘s got some very admirable qualities. He‘s generally honest, but he‘s also just too damn lazy to actually farm iron, and considering I‘ve got an iron farm which makes that stuff less valuable than dirt to me, it all makes a lot more sense. Thank you for trying to help though.

        I’m getting the sense that you’re young and not sure how to stand up for yourself. When you’re an adult, you’re not gonna tolerate that crap from anyone. Take my word for it. Don’t stay friends with someone who doesn’t even have a baseline level of respect for your time.

          There are clear rules on the server. Steal once and get a ban for a week. Steal twice and it‘s two weeks. Do it three times and it‘s a perma-ban. Just following the rules I established. But I do know how to keep my guy in check, he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.
