Hey there! I finished thismultiplayer-friendly command block setup a while ago and thought I would finally share it -- it's dyeable ender chests in vanilla Minecraft.
Place down any hopper and an ender chest on top, then stand on it to create a "dye input vat" or something. This hopper will not accept or deposit items into inventories, but other hoppers can pull dyes out of it.
A dye display will appear based on the direction of the ender chest you placed showing what dyes are currently in the first three slots of the dye selector. If there are three dyes in those slots, it will send an ender chest to you, ready to be filled.
The ender chest with that dye code can then be summoned at any dye station with the same code, allowing 4096 unique inventories. If glass is placed in the fifth slot of the hopper, the dye indicators will turn invisible.
The largest error with this has to do with chunks unloading, and it is unavoidable with current Minecraft. If you create a station with a dye combo and another station already exists with that combo in an unloaded chunk, it will create an empty ender chest instead of calling the correct one, which can lead to duplicate chests :(
Anyway, this takes two compressed commands, so here they are:
Hey I know I might be a little bit late but here is a link for a command compressor that keeps things tidy and in one area is is very user friendly and can be modified a lot. Also the problem that you are having with the enderchests not registering because it is in a unloaded chunk might be fixed on servers as long as the command blocks and ender chests are saved in the spawn chunks and this command compressor might help you achieve this. http://mrgarretto.com/cmdcombiner

The unloaded chunk problem has to do with the location of the chests and has nothing to do with the placement of command blocks in the spawn chunks. I could probably fix it if the spawn chunks were always centered on (0,0), but otherwise it's impossible.
I use my own command compactor for a few reasons. Although the one you linked makes the compacted command slightly smaller than mine, mine has options to keep/remove the install block, create a quick-uninstall block, and can optionally place all the commands at bedrock level.
If that website had all of those features, I would probably use it. Otherwise, I'll stick with my own.

PM /u/MrGarretto to see if he can do that. I would be glad to have more expansive options on his command combiner like you suggested!

Yeah. I don't know how to make/code a website, so I made it in C# as a program. Here's a mediocre gif showing it off and here's the link to the Visual Studio project file.
I'm not allowed to link directly to an exe file here, but if you download and extract that, the exe is located at
One Command > Bin > Debug > One Command.exe

The program has a checkbox to control that. When checked, all the commands are placed at y=0. When unchecked, all the commands are placed above the install block.
It still relies on the user to install it in spawn chunks; there's no way to automatically set it there.
is it possible to teleport the chests back to where the command contraption is and teleport it back when the player gets near the setup. If this is what is happening then wouldn't this be flawless on servers because of the spawn chunks that are always loaded?

The original system teleported the chests to (0,300,0). My spawn chunks were centered around (0,0) and it still caused issues, so I changed how the system worked, then fixed some more issues.
It's possible that could work when added to the other changes I made; I'll test it out and update the link if it works.
EDIT: It works as far as I can tell. Updated.

Can we get an image and/or explanation of the setup? I can't really run the two commands right now.
๐๏ธ tryashtar ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:57:48 on August 8, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
The setup isn't too interesting to look at physically, but I can give you a rundown on some of the more technical parts of the system.
Most of the commands are "test for dye with X data value in Y slot, set Y score to X if so."
A bunch more commands are "if X score is Y, set display armor stand item X to dye with damage Y."
When a player gets near a station, the station tries to teleport an ender chest cart with the matching dye scores. If it can't find one, it creates one and sets the dye scores to match the station.
When you leave a station or change a dye, the chests are teleported 300 blocks above the station.
Mostly repetitive commands, nothing terribly complicated per se.
That second command add 1 to every ender chest which has bonemeal as its first dye, assuming the station you walked up to has bonemeal as its first dye. There are several of these which together build a "qualify score." Basically, copy that command for each dye value and each dye score (1-3).
After that, if an ender chest has a qualify score of 3, that means it matched the dye1, dye2, and dye3 of the station.

Enjoy!
EDIT: Updated the pastebin commands. The system now works anywhere! Yay! No more confusion due to chunks unloading.

How do you create a variable-named entity?
๐๏ธ tryashtar ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 01:02:40 on August 9, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
It's not that dynamic--there's three armor stands (Dye1, Dye2, Dye3) and there scores for the station (dye1, dye2, dye3).
An example command would be
There would be 16 of those per armor stand and 3 armor stands, so 48 commands are used to display the dye icons.
starwarswii ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 01:07:37 on August 9, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
No, I mean't how do you create a new ender chest based on the color pattern?
๐๏ธ tryashtar ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 01:18:52 on August 9, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
Oh, I see. I'll try to paraphrase some commands for you.
That second command add 1 to every ender chest which has bonemeal as its first dye, assuming the station you walked up to has bonemeal as its first dye. There are several of these which together build a "qualify score." Basically, copy that command for each dye value and each dye score (1-3).
After that, if an ender chest has a qualify score of 3, that means it matched the dye1, dye2, and dye3 of the station.
I probably used stats or something to determine if that command was successful. If not...
Repeat that last one with dye2 and dye3.
I hope that was helpful to you. If you have any other questions, or if that was completely useless, please don't hesitate to ask!
