Transfer items from one chest to another

[Vandroy]

Let me tell the whole story. If you play with friends you depend on them to be able to play If one of them created the server. In this case, it is common to start your own world and level up on your own and that's when you start storing all your staff on your own chests in your world. But once you want to join a friends server or community server it is hard to move all your items from one place to another. I noticed beds get the name of the one who builds it. But chests dont, and this led me to not store my items on a server I dont own. However, If at least chests were bound to my character I wouldnt mind so much If there isnt an option to transfer my items from my own server to another, which would mean me connecting and reconnecting over and over again to move a lot of staff to the server I want to join.

There exist Personal Chests that allow you to store up to six items and only you can open it.

Alternatively, you can build a ward and create a mini-house/shrine around it with a small door to access it whenever you need to. The enshrined ward when activated makes it so unwanted guests cannot interact with your doors, chests, and other things within its radius. The reason for a mini-house/shrine is because people can still break wards, but if it's housed, people can't open the door and break the ward inside.

or if it's just a matter of remembering who's chest it is - you can put a wood sign up and put your name on it - but of course it needs a lot of trust with other players

The game is built to be played in smaller groups (<11) with full confidence in each other. It is not designed as a MMO.

There is also an option of buliding a small storage base. With a ward that is authorized only for you, thou in this case if they reeeeally wanted to mug you they could. Could also place a portal somewhere only you know and hide its name or something :3 (again not fool proof but will get the job done vs petty theft)

From what I understand you're having a personal dilemma about utilizing a single character for solo and group play?

A common solution to this problem is to have different characters for solo vs group.
You'll never have to worry about losing access to anything in your solo world if it never goes to group in the first place.
