====== Magnet Chests (Custom) ======

**Custom Plugin - No External Website**

===== Overview =====

Magnet Chests converts normal chests into item magnets that automatically collect any dropped items within a 3-block radius. Perfect for farms, mob grinders, and storage systems where you need efficient item collection without the complexity of hopper systems. Please use these instead of hopper minecarts where applicable, as hopper minecarts are laggy.

----

===== Main Commands =====

<code>
/mcbuy      - Purchase a magnet chest conversion for $75
</code>

----

===== How It Works =====

**Purchase Process:**
  * Use `/mcbuy` with at least $75 in your account
  * Activates selection mode when payment is successful
  * Punch any regular chest to convert it to a magnet chest
  * Selection mode closes automatically after conversion
  * Only one chest can be converted per purchase

**Magnet Function:**
  * Picks up all dropped items within 3 blocks of the chest
  * Scans for items every 2 seconds automatically
  * Works continuously while the chunk is loaded
  * More efficient than hopper minecart systems
  * Items go directly into the chest inventory

  * Use with hopper systems for fully automated item processing
  * Breaking and replacing gives you a full refund if you need to relocate
  * Consider the $75 cost when planning multiple magnet chest setups
