so does this mean that my chest will be unlocked when the server comes back on. Also i heard that we will have 1 week till the new map comes out, will our chests stay when the new map comes or will we have to start over all over/ Thanks
LWC protections for WILD chests will stay, any town thats copied over, all the protections will go away. However, stealing IS a bannable offense. The old map is accessable via a portal for 1 week, during which you can move items or anything else. After that, gone forever. The new map is completely new and generated, meaning no other structures besides mineshafts, strongholds, NPC villages, etc.
if your chest is in the wild youll be able to go back to it and get your items out and it will still be locked. if in a town that transfers it will be unlocked but a bannable offense for anyone to take anything from it. at least thats how i understand it. not sure whats happening with towns that aint going to be transfered.
