Is this allowed?

It's allowed, but it is generally frowned upon by the users here\

(also this should be moved to help & support)

As long as you didn't grief or break any other rules to get it.

 

A town mayor can't create a town rule that contradicts a server rule. If they had a rule saying "You're not allowed to steal from unlocked chests" this won't be enforced by the staff team.

 

If they catch you doing it, however, then you could be kicked out of the town

 

The worst that can happen is the town mayor could evict you if they have a rule in place that prohibits stealing from chests.

This doesn't justify doing it though

 

Technically also being rude to everybody is allowed, however I wouldn't advice you doing so

 

It's not unallowed, but it may ruin people's trust in you. I try to resist from doing it.

 

If there's valuables inside and just avoiding to do the bad thing is not good enough for you, you could lock their chest (adding them as well!) and leave a message saying that you locked their chest only for their safety and that they are welcome to ask you to remove the lock when you're both online.
In order to lock a chest adding a person at the same time, the command is just:

Code:

/cprivate <username>

instead of just:

Code:

/cprivate

(and of course don't take anything from that chest lol)
