Entry Denied
by bingybing7
Entry Denied is a NeoForge minigame mod that brings the document-checking game Papers Please into Minecraft, with passports, stamps and themed sounds.
What it does
Players work through a border-control routine built from in-game documents. The mod includes 16 passport types, among them Access Permit, Work Pass and Vaccine Certificate. Each passport has its own GUI with information sections that are filled in through a Document Issuer, and passports can be dyed in any of the 16 colours. A passport stamp tool, configured through its own GUI, marks a passport once the details are checked.
The mod also adds hazards and music. Barbed wire explodes entities that step on it, Floppy Discs hurt and slow entities moving over them, and three new music discs cover the Papers Please main theme, the death theme and a victory theme that can only be obtained in creative mode. A sound selector GUI lets a builder choose between Next, Foghorn and Alarm, and the chosen sound plays when a redstone signal triggers it.
Entry Denied runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge across three game versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.8, with 1.0.2 for 1.21.8 as the latest file. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
