You&#8217;ll need to re-register post boxes. Simply remove the player\u2019s name from the sign and follow the setup steps below.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfa5 **Quick Demo:**<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/WJtsFSBOviI\" title=\"Post Office Plugin Overview\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>## \u2709\ufe0f How It Works<\/p>\n<p>1. Drop the JAR into your `\/plugins` folder and restart the server.<br \/>\n2. Adjust `config.yml` as needed (optional).<br \/>\n3. Build your post office using barrels as mailboxes.<br \/>\n4. Place a sign on the front of a barrel.<br \/>\n5. Look at the sign and run: `\/postoffice register`<br \/>\n6. Players can then run `\/postoffice claim` to claim an unclaimed post box.<br \/>\n7. Admins\/mods can claim for others using `\/postoffice claim <playername>`<\/p>\n<p>> \ud83d\udd12 Items can be deposited by anyone but **only the owner** can retrieve them.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Built-in protection ensures post boxes can\u2019t be tampered with. Prefer WorldGuard or another region plugin? You can disable the internal protection in the config.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>## \u2699\ufe0f Default Configuration<\/p>\n<p>If any issues are found in your `config.yml`, default settings will be restored.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd17 View default config on GitHub \u2192<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>## \ud83d\udd10 Post Box Protection<\/p>\n<p>Enabled by default, this protects both barrels and signs from griefing.<br \/>\nTo disable and use an external protection system, set `postbox-protection: false` in the config.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>## \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Commands<\/p>\n<p>| Command | Description |<br \/>\n|&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;|&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-|<br \/>\n| `\/postoffice register` | Register a post box (barrel with a sign). |<br \/>\n| `\/postoffice claim` | Claim a registered post box for yourself. |<br \/>\n| `\/postoffice claim <player>` | Admins: Claim a post box for someone else. |<br \/>\n| `\/postoffice remove` | Remove a post box (while looking at it). |<br \/>\n| `\/postoffice info` | View owner or registration status of a post box. |<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>## \ud83e\uddfe Permissions<\/p>\n<p>| Node | Description |<br \/>\n|&#8212;&#8212;|&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-|<br \/>\n| `shantek.postoffice.use` | Prevents a player from accessing post boxes (default: allowed). |<br \/>\n| `shantek.postoffice.removeitems` | Allow removal of items from any post box. |<br \/>\n| `shantek.postoffice.register` | Register\/remove post boxes in config. |<br \/>\n| `shantek.postoffice.claim` | Claim a post box for yourself. |<br \/>\n| `shantek.postoffice.claim.others` | Claim a post box for another player. |<br \/>\n| `shantek.postoffice.updatenotification` | Notify this player of plugin updates. |<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>## \ud83d\udcac Support &#038; Dev Builds<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; \ud83d\udca1 Questions or suggestions?
