Piston chest is a plugin that allows items that are dropped to be pushed into a chest, furnace etc with a piston: Bukkit: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/pistonchest/ I think that it should be added as then donation systems can auto take any item so they dont disappear! Comments?
It would be good for mob grinders/wheat/sugarcane/cactus/egg farms. I don't see why not, it wouldn't majorly impact the server.
Also stop lag! Because when the item drops people can set it to push into the chest using trip wire people it falls
Sorry but we rarely use other plugins unless they add significant gain to the Empire. This is too little to bother with.
One problem that I've seen is that people could use the plugin to make a cobblestone gen that automatically gens the blocks then pushes them into a chest. A simple redstone pulse could run it, and the worth of cobblestone would plummet.
There are many ways to exploit a plugin, and I know for sure how to exploit this plugin. I test ways to dupelicate items on a private server with my friend, I find ways to dupelicate and I report it. I don't use them to benefit myself, but to get rid of it
or increase there is a demand for cobble or even stone so make a stone + cobble gen going into a chest and boom you got a quick money way
The main thing is we do not use others plugins unless its absolutely awesome. What if we added this, then the next patch the author has abandoned the plugin? We'd be in a stuck position not being able to update our server without dropping this plugin. Taking away a feature people are use to is not a good thing. We simply prefer to code our own features so we can easily maintain it and integrate it properly into the empire. This is simply not worth the effort though, it doesn't provide enough gain.
