ChestShare
by Calamech
ChestShare gives each player their own copy of world-generated loot chests, so a container opened by one player stays full for everyone else on a server.
What it does
Once a chest is opened, vanilla discards its loot table, which means the record of what it held is lost from the world permanently. ChestShare instead keeps a separate instance of each generated container for every player, generated from the same seed and loot. A server copied with the same mods and seed produces the same loot, and the mod ships a recovery workflow for chests that were already emptied before it was installed.
The mod runs only on the server, so players join with vanilla clients, launcher-locked modpacks or cracked-open modpacks without installing anything. It covers structures added by other mods as well as vanilla ones, including containers that carry full NBT data for custom modded items. Everything persists with the world, and a pre-generated area keeps its per-player state when a tool such as Chunky has filled the chunks ahead of players.
Key features
Per-player loot
Each player finds a separate instance of every world-generated container, so one player's looting does not empty another's.
Recovery of emptied chests
Chests looted before the mod was installed can be restored through the recovery workflow shipped with the mod.
Shared stash deposits
Players can deposit items into a shared container, and the deposited items appear in each player's own instance.
Double chests
Double chests are handled as one combined 54-slot screen, with each half tracked separately per player.
Player-placed chests
Chests placed by players keep vanilla behavior, and only generated containers are affected.

Use cases
Survival servers
On a survival server, a structure that the first explorer loots stays full for later players instead of being emptied for them.
Pre-generated worlds
Areas generated ahead of time with a chunk pre-generator keep per-player containers once players reach them.
Who it’s for: Server owners running survival or multiplayer worlds with generated loot, and players who want to explore a world that has not been looted by others.
