10.1. If you’ve followed the steps correctly thusfar, you will see under the yellow text that the plugin “InfiniteChestsV3” has been successfully initiated.

  1. Create a new world or load an already existing one. To create a new one, type “n” and follow the prompts. To select a pre-existing world, type the number located on the same line as the world name. If you create a new world, you will need to wait until it is finished generating and select it the same way you would an already existing world.

  2. After choosing the wanted world, it will load. Once completed, the console will now look like this;

13.Take note of the underlined line. Upon completing step 13 and joining the server, you will need to type /setup <provided numbers" in the in-game chat in order to set your account up.*

  1. Open Terraria, go to multiplayer, and select host & play. Once you reach your worlds, select the same one you selected in the console. Otherwise, it will not find the server. Tweak settings as liked. When you reach the select/enter a password screen, click “Accept”. No password has been set yet. The server will look like this;

  2. Place/find the desired chest you wish to auto-refill. Then, you will type /chest refill 0 into the chat and open said chest. This will make this chest auto-refill its contents upon closing and re-opening it. Keep in mind that this will NOT create stacks of 999; You will have to add quantities manually via the /i command

  3. Enjoy. I tried making this as comprehensible as possible, but there are still a lot of steps to take note of and follow.
