About this Mod

Features: This mod adds a chest scavenging mechanic to Minecraft. You can no longer take items out directly. Instead, you need to wait until the scavenging process completes before looting the items. By default, the scavenging time for Diamond is 5 seconds and Apple is 2 seconds, while all other items default to 3 seconds.
Customization: You can freely add and modify scavenging times by editing the unlock_times.json file inside the scavenge folder in the mod config directory.
