NerKubLootChests – Update v1.0.7

New Features

• Full support for dynamic chest titles (guiTitle)
  Titles now update instantly after being changed in the GUI or via chat.
  Works for all stored chests (including already placed ones) and for newly placed ones.
• Automatic title setting on placement
  Any newly placed chest will immediately set its custom title based on the configuration.
• Multi-container compatibility
  The system works for all supported container types in blockType.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where placed chests didn’t update their title after configuration changes.
• Improved title synchronization during plugin startup.

Notes

• Titles are loaded from guiTitle in chests.<name>.guiTitle. If not set, it falls back to displayName.
• Titles are automatically synced with config on plugin load.
• For double chests, the title is applied to each side individually.

Required messages.yml additions

NerKubLootChests v1.0.6 – Update Log

What's new?

GUI Pagination for Loot Items
If a loot chest contains more than 45 items, they will now be spread across multiple pages in the Edit Loot Items menu.
This prevents items from being cut off and allows smooth navigation through all configured items.

• Next / Previous page buttons are now shown in the inventory.
• A Back button still leads you back to the chest settings.
• Fully translated button names via messages.yml:

Inventory title is also dynamic:

Technical Notes

• The page system supports unlimited item count.
• Button detection is now based on translated display names (from messages.yml), so language support is preserved.
• Supports custom chest names and page-safe editing/removal of items.

messages.yml – new entries

Make sure these entries are present in your messages.yml:

If you're using a custom language file, translate them accordingly.
