Changes:
More Sorting Options
Right clicking on "Sort Items" in a chest or right-clicking "Sort Inventory" will open a menu with more sort options.


Content Display
Hovering over a chest shows its contents.


Multiplayer Chests
Multiple players can use a chest at the same time now! (might make duplicated when holding right click on items)

Ownership
You can claim chest ownership. This prevents other players from opening or quick stacking into chests which you own.

Longer Chest Names
This feature is now native in tModLoader!
Increased the maximum chest name length from 20 to 80. You can finally write longer chest names!


Searchbar
A search bar to search for items inside a chest quickly.
There's also hotkey to focus it. Press Escape to unfocus.


Confirmation Buttons
"Deposit All", "Loot all", "Sort" have a confirmation button now (separately toggleable in the config).


Change Default Sort
Added a Config option to change the functionality of the "Sort Items" button.

Hotkeys
Hotkeys for Deposit All, Loot All, Quick Stack, Restock, Sort Chest and Sort Inventory.

Pings
You can ping items in chests.
Pinged items get...
- ... highlighted in chests
- ... shown in chat
- ... displayed on the map
- ... and their containing chest outlined
To ping an item you have to hold down the ping hotkey (default: Left-Alt, needs to be set first) and right-click the item.
The duration of pings and your ping color can be changed in the settings. This feature can also be turned off there.


Special Thanks to:

Will you consider adding capacity to the box?

The multiplayer chests in this are basically broken. Half the time we place a chest it's assigned to a different player (who aren't even IN GAME). Can go to a new location, craft a brand new chest and place it and it will say "This chest is owned by X". Sometimes if you craft a bunch of chests and put them all down in a row some will be free and some will be assigned so you can then break the assigned ones. But this only works for a single session, restart the server and when you come back the chests can be locked to the other player again.
