Chests thief protection expiration (or not working anymore ?)

[TBG-FR]

Describe the bug It looks like Death Chests aren't protected against thiefs anymore... It was working well when enabling the plugin, and I haven't touched configuration since, but players are able to interact with other player's chests 🤔

Could this be due to the daily restart of the server ? Expiration and thief expiration both are disabled (-1 for expiration and 0 for thief expiration) so it should work and keep chests there and protected, right ?

To Reproduce Paper version 1.21.1-118-master@fb76840 (2024-10-02T12:49:56Z Implementing API version 1.21.1-R0.1-SNAPSHOT (5 version(s) behind latest)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Someone dies
2. Another player tries to open the chest (it works) and/or steal something

Expected behavior Only the chest owner (or an admin) can interact with his own Death Chest.

Additional context When reloading the plugin, here's the output. All chests displayed here are from players who died recently (some minutes/hours ago for the overworld, few days for the end), and should not be expired...

As I have no permissions plugin configured, could this be that only my chests are protected ? (I am the op) I thought I tested the behavior between other players, but looking at the CSV "audits", it looks like only my chests are protected: true 🤔 And re-reading the config file, that could explain it, if regular no-op players do not have this permission by default

[DevCyntrix]

Hi @TBG-FR , thank you for contacting me, you are absolutely right. To get a protected chest as a player, he needs the permission configured in config.yml. In your case “deathchest.thiefprotected”. I will think about how to enable this for players without permission plugin.
