Myitemchest is a mod that spawns items when it is opened. I made this mode for a game I am working on and thought that it might be of interest to others. It might be great for adventure games where you can add new items as you go.

All it is is a chest that when opened it spawns items. Once you open it the first time it does not spawn any more items. The chest then becomes a useable unlocked chest. You right click to open the chest and then right click inside to open the formspec.

Version 0.1.0 does not have a usable chest. After first use it is nothing more than a decoration.

If you want to change the items it gives then modify the top section of init.lua. Instructions are in the file.

This is meant as a mod to help people with there game development and not meant as a mod for regular players.

Nice idea. Players sometimes ask for chests that do open, and to actually show the item the chest contains is good. Perhaps you could add an option to put something back into the chest?

For the game I am making I made a chest that opens and has an inventory like a regular chest. I have to do a little more work on it and then I will make it a mod.

Update - The chest becomes a useable unlocked chest after the items spawn. Right click to open the chest and then right click inside to open the formspec. The chest will automatically close.

You could make it look like the item jumps out of the chest after opening it instead of making it appear immediately.
Just spawn the item in the chest, open the chest and then use obj:moveto(upper_pos) to make it move out of it.
The other way round you could make it move back into it before closing it.

I think I did what you wanted. Can you try the github version and see? It looks neat to see them pop out of the chest like that. Nice idea.

thanks

@Hybrid Dog - I merged your pull request. Thanks for that. it pops out a lot smoother with set velocity.

Update - I made a better texture for the chest.

I'm definitely trying this out!

Gabo! Nice to hear from you.
Nice to see your interest in my mod. Barman is always grateful. Your server is awesome. Anyone who doesn't know Gabo's server check it out.

Nice work on the item chest mod Don, I will try this out :)

Update - just a bit of code cleanup

This is a nice mod. Could it be made to use the harmonize visually with the new visibly open chests introduced in .4.16?

awesome model!
