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 0.4.0
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

Fixed that an item will not be deselected if the underlying chest reloads

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.
