As most of you know, Enderchests store items per-player. Now, this is fine and dandy for single player, but in multiplayer servers where combat is allowed, this is a game-breaking feature. It makes raiding pointless as you can stash all of your valuables in a safe place that can never be stolen from.
My suggestion is that, if you die, you drop some stuff out of your enderchest inventory along with what you are carrying. This happens regardless of if you are carrying the ender chest or not. Not all of your enderchest items are dropped, just some of them.
This means that enderchests are still useful for accessing stuff from many places, but there's some risk to dieing.
No, this is not good. I believe it's already balanced as is. I'm reading here that when you destroy an ender chest in SMP, it breaks down into obsidian, requiring another eye to create. So you can in fact cripple someone to the point that they have to take time to build another chest to access items. Furthermore, the inventory space in an ender chest is hardly expansive. Sure you can store diamonds, TNT, and other valuables to keep them safe and sound, but once you start storing things that can't stack well like enchanted tools, armor, weapons, potions, ingredients, etc., you'll find that you can have enough room for the key items, but you'll be out of luck for things like raw building materials, lava buckets, etc. Also entities like livestock and pets aren't protected.
It's a powerful item, and you have a large incentive to get it and use it, but it's not the end-all-solution to ruling a PvP server.
NOPE sorry enderchests are like each players "safe pod" there is no way for greifers to take your items unless you take them out and give them to your enemy i LOVE the enderchest jeb had the greatest idea for a chest on this one or any block!

Retired StaffFalse, the latest version of enderchests functions on a per-player basis. Jeb said so on Twitter.

Retired StaffAh, I apologize. Still though, kinds of ruins the purpose of the ender chest...
