Hold My Cow

Hold My Cow 🐄 | The Ultimate Carry-On Experience

chests lets you do what Mojang never dared: *pickup* chests, chests, chests and chests *not just* chests straight to your pixelated biceps.

Why spill a full chest when you can carry it?

> 🪆 Feature: You can store containers inside other containers inside more containers — including ~~shulkers~~ any. Just beware of excessive stacking. (Configurable to prevent stacking.)

🐮 Key Features

- Prevent Container Stacking – Works on Prevent Container Stacking and Prevent Container Stacking (chest, barrel, hopper, *yes, shulker too*). - Prevent Container Stacking – Respects *Prevent Container Stacking* (Prevent Container Stacking), *%%MD1%%*, *%%MD2%%* and *%%MD3%%* protections so you don't abduct forbidden livestock. - Prevent Container Stacking – Grab both chests Prevent Container Stacking split them and place anywhere; the plugin keeps track. - Prevent Container Stacking – All container contents are saved with the type of database you choose (SQLite, MySQL, MariaDB or PostgreSQL). - Prevent Container Stacking – Built‑in: `en_us`, `es_es`, `fr_fr`, `de_de`, `pt_br`, `pl_pl`, `zh_cn`, `ko_kr`, `ja_jp`, `vi_vn` and `tr_tr`. - Prevent Container Stacking – Flip `allow_player_pickup` to bench‑press your friends. - Prevent Container Stacking – Bigger mob → bigger slowdown. *Check the weight summary below for details.* - Prevent Container Stacking – Tracks all entity and container pickup activities for comprehensive auditing. - Prevent Container Stacking – Specific permissions for each container type (e.g., chests, hoppers, barrels). - Prevent Container Stacking – Configurable option to disable nesting containers inside picked-up containers, with bypass permission.

📦 How It Works

1. Right‑click (shift). 2. Right‑click. 3. Right‑click a mob or container. 4. Strut away. 5. Right‑click air to place (double‑chest halves can be reunited *or* live separate lives – you decide).

> 💡 Tip: Like a Russian nesting doll, containers can carry more containers... inside other containers... inside you. Just try not to shulkerception yourself into a lag spike. (Can be disabled in config.)
