Chest stealing

[jesse8190]

Hello, I would like to report a problem I have discovered. If you find a protected chest that does not have a region around it, you can destroy the block under the chest and place a hopper. It will then transfer all the items into the hopper so you can then steal the items.

Thanks!

This does not work, you would have to have hopper access enabled on the chest. (Which is disabled by default)

But what if someone has it accidentally enabled?
Is there a way to make the chest verify that the hopper it's feeding in to has the same owner before transferring items?

What are the chances that you find a locked chest in the middle of nowhere, with no region, and the owner enabled chest access.

For the few times that occurs it is not worth writing code for every hopper to store its owner and run a check when it pulls a single item to see if it has access to the chest. The inefficiency caused by that is not worth work adding just to protect a few chests that meet all of those requirements.
