Postboxes & Parcels

? ITEM POST
Send a full stack of items to another player—even while they are offline—because apparently trusting the postal system is less dangerous than meeting in person.

Postboxes are secure parcel storage tied to your player account. Your deliveries follow your UUID, so changing your Minecraft name will not make them disappear.

Quick start

Place a barrel where you want your postbox.
Look directly at it and run /postbox create.
Hold the item stack you want to send.
Run /postbox send <player>.
The recipient can collect it with /postbox open or by right-clicking their registered barrel.

⚠️ Check before sending. The entire stack in your main hand is posted immediately. The postbox does not recognise “wait, not that stack” as a valid command.

Commands

Command	What it does
`/postbox`	Shows the available postbox commands.
`/postbox create`	Registers the barrel you are looking at as your postbox. `/postbox register` also works.
`/postbox send <player>`	Sends the complete stack in your main hand to that player.
`/postbox open`	Opens your parcel storage from anywhere. `/postbox collect` also works.
`/postbox remove`	Unregisters your barrel without deleting stored parcels. `/postbox unregister` also works.

The shorter alias /post can be used instead of /postbox.

Registering a barrel

Look directly at a barrel and run:

/postbox create

You may have one registered barrel at a time. Registering a new one automatically replaces your old registration. A barrel already registered by somebody else cannot be claimed.

Right-click your registered barrel to open your mail. Other players cannot open or break it through the postbox system. Staff may remove a registration when necessary.

Breaking your own registered barrel removes its registration, but your stored parcels remain attached to your account. You can still use /postbox open or register a new barrel.

? The barrel is an access point, not the parcel storage itself. Do not place items inside it expecting them to be mailed.

Sending a parcel

Hold the stack you want to send in your main hand, then run:

/postbox send PlayerName

When the delivery succeeds:

The whole held stack is removed from your hand.
The parcel is added directly to the recipient's stored mail.
Online recipients receive an immediate notification.
Offline recipients receive the parcel normally and are reminded when they next join.

You cannot send a parcel to yourself. A delivery will also be refused if your hand is empty or the recipient already has 45 parcel stacks waiting.

✅ Items are only removed after the system confirms that the recipient has room in their postbox.

Collecting parcels

Open your mail in either of these ways:

Run /postbox open from anywhere.
Right-click your registered barrel.

Each parcel appears as an item stack in the Postbox menu. Click a parcel to move it into your inventory. The menu refreshes after every collection.

If your inventory cannot hold the complete parcel, it stays safely in the postbox until you make enough room. Items cannot be placed into or rearranged inside the Postbox menu.

The postbox holds up to 45 parcel stacks. The bottom row is reserved for controls, including the red Close button.

Removing or moving your postbox

To unregister the current barrel without breaking it, run:

/postbox remove

Removing or replacing a registered barrel does not delete your waiting mail. Register another barrel whenever you are ready, or continue using /postbox open without one.

Troubleshooting

“Look directly at a barrel”

Move closer, aim at the barrel itself, and run /postbox create again.

“That barrel is already registered”

The barrel belongs to another player's postbox. Choose a different barrel or ask its owner to unregister it.

“The postbox is full”

The recipient already has 45 parcel stacks waiting. Ask them to collect some mail before trying again.

“Make enough room in your inventory first”

The selected parcel must fit as a complete stack. Clear sufficient inventory space, reopen the postbox, and click it again.

I removed or broke my barrel

Your parcels are still stored. Use /postbox open, or register a replacement barrel with /postbox create.

? If a successful delivery appears to be missing, note the sender, recipient, item, approximate time, and any message shown in chat before contacting staff.
