aXess: Keycards
by TeekayM
With aXess: Keycards, a keycard network controls which doors and readers a player can open, using named access levels.
What it does
Keycard networks are created in the mod and given access levels with names, colors and icons. Readers are placed beside doors, set to a level and linked together, so players are granted access by carrying the right keycard. Readers can be linked to a receiver, which activates them wirelessly and removes the need for long redstone runs.
The mod is built for large facilities such as roleplay bases and server-run bases with many rooms and staff levels. Readers come in wood, iron and other variants, and names, icons and priorities can be changed later with updates applied to every linked reader. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 with 0.4.0 as the latest file for each loader, and the code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later. Client and server are both needed, so every player and the server run the mod.
Key features
Access level networks
Networks hold access levels that can be named, colored and given icons, so a large facility stays organized.
Linked readers
Two readers set to the same level and linked together work without hand-wired redstone.
Wireless receivers
A receiver can be linked to readers so they activate without a physical connection.
Reader variants and textures
Readers come in wood, iron and other variants with updated textures and crafting recipes, plus a Chinese translation.

What the author says
Have you ever wanted to have a giant SCP-foundation type base with thousands of employees, all of whom have different access levels to different rooms in this facility but there are no mods that offer extensive customizability, QoL and usability?? …. No? Well, maybe I was too specific. Just create your network, add…
