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.

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:
/plugins folder and restart the server.config.yml as needed (optional)./postoffice register/postoffice claim to claim an unclaimed post box./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.
If any issues are found in your config.yml, default settings will be restored.

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.
