EnhancedEchest upgrades the vanilla ender chest into a larger, persistent, multi-chest storage system. Every player gets ender chests of up to 54 slots, can own several, and manages them from one clean in-game menu, and every chest is saved to a real database, so contents survive restarts, resets, and world wipes.

Features

• Up to 54 slots: swap the 27-slot vanilla ender chest for a GUI of up to 54 slots (a full double chest). Configurable in multiples of 9, from 9 to 54. Opens the usual way (right-click the block or /ec), and the block keeps its lid animation.
• Multiple chests per player: own several chests. With two or more, opening the ender chest shows an in-game menu (/eclist) to open and switch between them, rename them, give them custom icons, and pick a main chest that /ec opens directly.
• Permission-granted chests: grant chests by rank with enhancedechest.additional_amount.<count>.slot.<size> (e.g. ...2.slot.54 = two 54-slot chests). Nodes stack, sync on open, and removing one removes those chests (items spill to a recoverable temp chest). The base chest is always protected.
• Admin tools: manage any player's chests online or offline: /ee add, /ee resize, /ee delete (all item-spill safe), and /ee view <player> to open someone's chest read-only or editable. Temporary chests can auto-expire (e.g. 7d, 1d_12h).
• Database-backed: contents are serialized to SQLite (built in, zero setup), MySQL / MariaDB, or PostgreSQL. All DB work runs off the main thread on a HikariCP pool, so saving never blocks the tick.
• Migration: imports vanilla ender chest data automatically on join, or on demand with /ee migrate vanilla <player> / all. Also imports from the AxVaults plugin with /ee migrate axvaults (tested with AxVaults 2.15.0) and the PlayerVaultsX plugin with /ee migrate playervaultsx (tested with PlayerVaultsX 4.4.13), both supporting offline players. Each player is migrated only once.
• Bedrock support: menus use Paper's Dialog API, which Geyser converts to native Bedrock forms with no extra setup.
• Localization: all text lives in editable language files with full MiniMessage formatting.
