Post Office
Set up a full working post office system for your Minecraft SMP. Barrels act as a 1 way post box, allowing everyone to place items in, but only allowing the owner to remove them. Comes complete with a notification system when logging in to the server.
Post Office

📮 Post Office Plugin
The ultimate mail system for your Minecraft SMP! Turn barrels into secure, player-owned post boxes with claim functionality, protection, and notifications.
> ⚠️ Note: Version 2 introduces a full system rewrite. You'll need to re-register post boxes. Simply remove the player’s name from the sign and follow the setup steps below.
🎥 Quick Demo:

✉️ How It Works
1. Drop the JAR into your `/plugins` folder and restart the server. 2. Adjust `config.yml` as needed (optional). 3. Build your post office using barrels as mailboxes. 4. Place a sign on the front of a barrel. 5. Look at the sign and run: `/postoffice register` 6. Players can then run `/postoffice claim` to claim an unclaimed post box. 7. Admins/mods can claim for others using `/postoffice claim <playername>`
> 🔒 Items can be deposited by anyone but only the owner can retrieve them.
🛡️ Built-in protection ensures post boxes can’t be tampered with. Prefer WorldGuard or another region plugin? You can disable the internal protection in the config.

⚙️ Default Configuration
If any issues are found in your `config.yml`, default settings will be restored.

🔐 Post Box Protection
Enabled by default, this protects both barrels and signs from griefing. To disable and use an external protection system, set `postbox-protection: false` in the config.
