Extract all files to BepInEx/plugins/MultiUserChest

Please report all errors and desyncs if they occur.
FAQ
- Where does this mod needs to be installed?
- The server and every player who joins it.
You will be disconnected if there is a version mismatch or the mod is not installed somewhere.
- If two players move an item at the exact same time, will it be duplicated?
- No, only one move will be accepted.
- How is item duplication/loss prevented?
- An item never exists twice.
When an interaction is made inside a shared chest, the item is packed into a message and sent to the player currently managing the chest.
This player instance then decides whether or not to move the item and sends the result back to the player who made the interaction.
- Can this be added to an existing game?
- Yes, you can add and remove this mod at any time.
- Will this mod work with other modded chests?
- Yes, most likely.
But it can may cause problems if other mods change the behaviour of chests.
- Will this mod work with mods that change inventory/chest sizes?
- Yes.
- Does it work with mods that add quick stacking / chest sorting?
- Depends on the mod, see Incompatible Mods and Compatible Mods.
If it's not listed there, assume it won't work.
- Recommended is Quick Stack Store Sort Trash Restock by Goldenrevolver, as as it combines many quick stack features and provides explicit compatibility with Multi User Chest.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
