## Backports the feature from 1.13 that lets chests stop social distancing!<\/p>\n

If you’re a modpack developer wanting to add Friendly Chests to a modpack distributed outside of CurseForge or Modrinth, use File Director to avoid reuploading Friendly Chests’s files.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

Supports all properly coded chests, and does not add any new blocks! If you find any conflicts or bugs please let me know c:<\/p>\n

Can be safely added to any existing world, but always make a backup just to be safe! **Removing this mod from existing worlds is likely to break stuff though.**<\/p>\n
