BBL Ability Lock
by benbenlaw
BBL Ability Lock is a NeoForge minigame that starts players with only the walk ability and grants others as tasks are completed.
What it does
Abilities in Minecraft are locked behind checks, and a player begins a run with walking as the only ability available. Completing tasks grants access to new abilities, which changes how the game is played from the start. Required dependency: Just Enough Items (JEI). Files are published for NeoForge 26.1.2 only, with 26.1.2-1.5.4 as the latest file, released under the MIT License. The mod is not open source.
Key features
Locked abilities
Movement and interaction abilities stay locked until the player meets the conditions attached to each one.
Task progression
Completing tasks grants new abilities, so each run moves forward in steps the player chooses.
Ability and task screens
G opens the Ability Screen and H opens the Task Screen by default, letting players check what is locked and what remains.
