I'm grabbing this not because of multiplayer, but because of immersion, because modders pls normalize putting things in the world and not in a chest at the start of the game
I DO have a summoning mod in case something breaks and/or a modded item is exclusive to the tutorial chest, so hopefully the mod I use is one of the ones that overrides this one. Still though, good shout.
Do you know if this also prevents the items from even spawning in the chest? There are some mods that have items which will have the Unique tag, making so if it spawns once then it won’t spawn again. So if not being able to open the chest made it so the game never spawns them in there, then that works out perfectly!
The chest still exists, I've simply moved it way out of reach and the chest is also flagged invisible. The items will still be in game if a mod has assigned it to the chest so if you're relying on a mod like Randomized Equipment Loot to have it show up in loot tables throughout the game, it still has a chance.
If unique items are a concern I'd recommend Yield to Temptation - Tutorial Chest Anti-Cheat as it adds a new treasure table to the container with just the vanilla items (yes summoning the chest through a mod still works). Though, realistically mod authors should not put unique items in the tutorial chest.
I've played with my brother and sister and my brother always jokingly takes an item out of the chest in our playthroughs, so there's instances where it's useful to others which is why I shared it.
I'm going to do a modded playthrough with my wife soon. This mod is nicer than having to explain "this chest contains all the best items in the game, so just ignore it". Of course I trust her, but it's kind of immersion breaking.

But there's also immersion or whatever, as well as that one friend who doesn't want to follow the rules.
