Same color combination shared between two players

[Myddrim]

Is the default white, white, white combination accessible to all players? I have a default chest in my server and my friend was able to see the content of the chest too. I learned that this mod is similar to the Ender Chest with color coordination, right?

Yes this mod is similar to ender chests.

You can use a diamond on your chest to switch it to a private channel. Those can only be created by you.

Oh I see, I was wondering how do we do a private chest. So by breaking it using a silk touch will keep it as private, right?

Alright, I just asked my staff who has ops, she still can see my items in the personalized chest. Is there a settings to me to fix that too?

This was ages ago, but the way it works is:
The diamond sets the chest to use your personal set of addresses.
If anyone else accesses the same exact chest, they will see your special inventory because that chest is a link to that inventory. It's not like a vanilla ender chest with more chests.

If 2 people use the same color combination, but you both placed a diamond on your respective chest directly (Not having someone else place the diamond for you), then you'll both have separate inventories in the chest even with the same colors.

The mod can't work any other way because it would make it impossible to allow external things to interact with the chest, since the contents would be subjective depending on who interacts with it. These are designed with automation in mind (Hoppers, comparators, mods, etc), not just creating infinite private storage.

You could maybe store the person who originally placed the diamond (As it does right now) and use that for external interaction only, but that still allows someone to slap a hopper under one of your chests and suck it all out. If you remove that functionality, then that kinda defeats the purpose of the mod. An emerald, maybe, to make it act exactly like an ender chest but with channels?
