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.
