Uploaded without debugging context, which has slowed down the mod a lot
Version 0.5.9
Fixed issues with ships and carts caused by the 0.5.8 update
Version 0.5.7
Fixed type warning about ItemDrawer when it's not installed
Version 0.5.6
Fixed a conflict with [Backpacks](https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/Smoothbrain/Backpacks/) where dropping an item from a backpack throws an error
Fixed compatibility with [ItemDrawers](https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/makail/ItemDrawers/) for dependent mods like [ItemHopper](https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/MSchmoecker/ItemHopper/) where stack sizes were wrong and the drawer did not update correctly
Fixed a potential item loss issue when another mod patches AddItem() to reject an item inconsistently between clients
Removed some vanilla logging when adding an item to an inventory, to avoid clutter and slightly improve performance when many actions are done
Version 0.5.5
Compatible with Valheim version 0.217.22, not working with an older version
Updated and compiled for BepInExPack 5.4.2200
Version 0.5.4
Fixed equipped items appear to be un-equipped when item preview shows an item in the player inventory, resulting in equipped items background flashing
Version 0.5.3
Updated for Valheim 0.217.14 (Hildir's Request), not compatible with older versions
Version 0.5.2
Removed [QuickStack](https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/damnsneaker/QuickStack) compatibility as the mod isn't updated for Valheim and threw a MUC error. The mods will no longer start together
Version 0.5.1
Updated for Valheim 0.216.9, not compatible with older versions
Version 0.5.0
Added item preview. This visually shows changes before all messages have been processed and improves the flow of interaction within a shared chest
Changed internal messages and made general code improvements
Fixed an issue where items could be lost when a player removes an item from a shared chest and the stack size has changed in the meantime
Version 0.4.4
Fixed a compatibility issue with OdinShipPlus. Some of the ships have multiple chests on board, these ships are excluded from MUC
Fixed a compatibility issue with AdventureBackpacks where the backpack items could be duplicated
Version 0.4.3
Fixed distant containers could cause errors when other mods tried to access them. These containers have no player assigned (owner) responsible for managing their inventory and will be ignored by MUC
Version 0.4.2
Fixed an item duplication bug when a player moves a weapon/tool/armor item repeatedly in a shared chest
Version 0.4.1
Fixed an error when a player tries to place a chest
Version 0.4.0
Big internal rework for compatibility with other mods: instead of patching GUI methods, mainly inventory methods are patched and movement is intercepted when needed. This fixes desyncs with other mods greatly and removes a lot of specific compatibility code. While this doesn't make all quick stack mods compatible, it simplifies compatibility for the most ones.
Added compatibility with [Quick Stack Store Sort Trash Restock](https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/Goldenrevolver/Quick_Stack_Store_Sort_Trash_Restock) by Goldenrevolver
Added compatibility with [DepositAnywhere](https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/Lookenpeepers/DepositAnywhere) by Lookenpeepers
Added debug files (MultiUserChest.dll.mdb) to the release, this will make finding future issues easier

Fixed a compatibility issue with Equipment and Quick Slots when trying to throw an item out of a a quick slot
Version 0.3.1
Improved mod compatibility by loading items into a temporary inventory first
Fixed item stack size modification from V+ was causing issues
Changed chest inventory reload to be called after vanilla, this makes the inventory not break completely with OdinsQOL AutoStore feature. Nevertheless, both AutoStore and MUC are incompatible at this time

Updated for Valheim 0.212.7 (Mistlands)
Fixed that an item will not be deselected if the underlying chest reloads
Fixed that a slot could stay blocked if the owner of the chest changes

Fixed items from EIDF were not loaded correctly when fast moving them inside shared chests. They had to be picked up to show the extended item data again
Improved performance of adding item to inventories by avoiding costly vanilla code

About
Allows multiple players to interact with the same chest at the same time.
Installation
This mod requires BepInEx and Jötunn. Extract all files to BepInEx/plugins/MultiUserChest
The mod must be installed on the server and all client. It is ensured that all players have the mod installed with the same mod version, otherwise no connection is possible.
Please report all errors and desyncs if they occur.
FAQ
Who needs this installed?
The server and every player who joins it. You will be disconnected if there is a version mismatch or the mod is not installed somewhere.
If two players move an item at the exact same time, will it be duplicated?
No, only one move will be accepted.
How is item duplication/loss prevented?
An item will never exist twice. When an interaction is made inside a shared chest, the item is packed into a message and sent to the player currently managing the chest. This player instance then decides whether or not to move the item and sends the result back to the player who made the interaction.
Can this be added to an existing game?
Yes, you can add and remove this mod at any time.
Will this mod work with other modded chests?
Yes, most likely. But it can may cause problems if other mods change the behaviour of chests.
Will this mod work with mods that change inventory/chest sizes?
Yes.
Does it work with mods that add quick stacking / chest sorting?
Recommended is Quick Stack Store Sort Trash Restock by Goldenrevolver, as as it combines many quick stack features and provides explicit compatibility with Multi User Chest.
