About this Mod
Backports the feature from 1.13 that lets chests stop social distancing!
If you're a modpack developer wanting to add Friendly Chests to a modpack distributed outside of CurseForge or Modrinth, use File Director to avoid reuploading Friendly Chests's files.
Supports all properly coded chests, and does not add any new blocks! If you find any conflicts or bugs please let me know c:
Can be safely added to any existing world, but always make a backup just to be safe! Removing this mod from existing worlds is likely to break stuff though.
