PlaceItems Mod

A small server-side mod originally created for personal use, but it might be useful for other server administrators as well.

Its main purpose is to automatically place items into containers (like chests) at specific coordinates using a command.

The mod was designed as a tool for:

preparing starter kits for new players at spawn
rewarding players
automation via server scripts
event administration

⚙️ Command

/placeitems <x> <y> <z> <item1=count,item2=count,...>

📌 Usage Examples

Place items into a container at coordinates

/placeitems 512032 122 512041 charcoal=50

Multiple items at once

/placeitems 512032 122 512041 charcoal=50,stick=20,torch=10

Relative coordinates (from player)

/placeitems ~ ~ ~ charcoal=10

/placeitems ~1 ~0 ~-2 torch=5

Coordinates relative to spawn

/placeitems @0 0 @0 charcoal=20
/placeitems @5 0 @-3 bread=10

💡 Features

Works even with unloaded chunks
Automatically searches for a nearby container if the position is slightly off
Supports most containers (including modded ones via reflection)
Properly handles stack sizes when inserting items

🧠 Use Cases

This mod is especially useful when combined with server scripts or automation. For example:

give starter kits to new players
reward players upon certain conditions
refresh loot at spawn after server restart
create simple “quest-like” systems using commands

⚠️ Note

This mod was built for specific needs and is not intended to be a universal solution, but it is flexible enough to be useful in other setups.
