<summary>Creating a new chest</summary>

By default the chests folder comes with two files called **example** and **example2**. You can easily copy one of these default files and paste it to start editing it. After this the first thing you want to do is to give the file a unique name and start editing the all the options.

Feel free to use our online creator tool to generate and download these files more quickly. \
