Assorted Locks
Assorted Locks lets players secure chests, doors, barrels, hoppers and shulker boxes with padlocks and matching keys, and it is built for the 26.2 release.
What it does
Padlocks and keys are crafted at a locksmith workbench. A player sets a combination on a lock and cuts a key to match, and only that key opens the lock on the chosen block. Doors, chests, ender chests, barrels, hoppers and shulker boxes can all be locked, and a locked ender chest opens the same personal ender storage no matter who uses it. Sneaking while using a locked block with an empty hand, or while carrying the key, removes the padlock.
Keys can be kept on a key ring with room for a dozen keys, and a matching key opens a lock from anywhere in the inventory. Other Assorted Storage containers, such as crates, are covered when those mods are installed. Locked doors are also available for the Assorted Building Blocks mod. The mod needs Assorted Lib and Fabric API, and it is published for Fabric and NeoForge. Existing contents survive a move from the older Assorted Storage line, though the two versions should never run together.
The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes the project open source. Public links for the source code, issue tracker and wiki are available, and bugs can be reported on GitHub. Files are published for the 26.2 release only, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod.
Key features
Padlocks and keys
Padlocks lock a block, and keys made at the locksmith workbench open them.
Combination locks
A lock can be set to a combination, and a key cut from that combination opens it.
Key rings
A ring carries a dozen keys, so one item can grant access to several locks.
Locked storage
Chests, barrels, hoppers, shulker boxes and ender chests can each be secured with a padlock.
Shared ender chests
A locked ender chest opens the same ender storage for anyone who has the matching key.
Inventory key access

How it compares
Assorted Locks is the only option here that targets 26.2 on both Fabric and NeoForge and needs both client and server. SimpleChestLocker runs on the server alone and covers Fabric and Quilt for 1.21.4 – 26.2. Key - Lock chests, other containers and doors is needed on the server, with the client optional, under a custom license that is not open source. Shulker / Ender Chest tooltip is a client-side only tooltip mod under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it does not lock anything.
