The way I see it, the current set up for the enderchests in 1.3 would be problematic for SMP servers since the inventory is small and shared between everyone. A server with an active community of even 5 people could easily fill it up and still have items to add. However this wouldn't be an issue in SSP since there is only you, the player, filling it up. The concept of an inventory you can access from anywhere would be a welcome addition to minecraft, but in the end, there is only so much you can do with an extra 27 slots of space if you have a server with 10+ people on it. Having the extra channels would be useful in SMP since each player could have their own space, which other people could access and could set up a mail type system. Alternately, it could be set up so the contents of the chest are player bound resolving the space problem, but also removing the concept of sharing items. Personally, I'm all for having the enderchest reflect how it is in the enderstorage mod, since you can do quite a bit with the various channels in SSP as well as SMP.
But enough of my rambling, what are your thoughts on the matter my fellow Minecrafters?

I haven't really stop to think about how it would affect multiplayer in that sense, I can see how it can be a problem.
But I do like how it is already set up though, could always add the backpack mod to the server so people can have their own private inventory, or maybe there could be another way added so you can craft a enderchest that is for private use? I just thought of that idea just now.

That's technically how the Mod Enderchest handles inventories. You use dye to set the chest to a certain network with it's own inventory space. The Backpack mod is built so that if you lose the backpack with your stuff in it, you can just craft another and you'd have your gear back. It's a similar principal to Enderchest, except it works better for SSP and is bound to the player. Enderchests on the other hand, are bound to a color network.
EDIT: Adding links to the OP for the mods in question for people who don't know what they are.
For SMP, I think you'd really need two types of chest - a personal one and one that is shared between all players. Both are useful and it would be a shame if you had to choose.

If I see further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
Hey Jon, what about Giant Mobs, like the old giant, and the spider-for-screenshot Jeb made? They could be rare, like spider jockeys. Let's see the Golems fend off those =]
I prefer the shared chest as it is right now.
This is a great way of transporting goods back to our castle. one puts them in the chest at the construction site and the other one puts them out the chest again at our storage.
We are all good together and need no private chests.

Never heard of either of the mods by the way.
