JAW Lab
by Awyvrix
JAW Lab brings keycard-controlled key doors, password code doors and role-based access levels to a laboratory-style build on Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
Key doors open only for a keycard whose access level matches the door, while code doors open for anyone who types the correct password, of up to 9 symbols. Doors close again after a short delay, and the delay can be turned off in the door settings. Keycards are bound to their level, and the level is shown in the card texture.
Access is managed through networks. A player creates a network, names it, and adds users by typing their username and choosing a role: member, moderator, admin or founder. Each role allows different actions, and the level of a user can be raised or lowered with the arrows or plus and minus buttons. Several facilities with separate networks can exist in one world, and a planned UUID verification step will tie accounts to network users. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20 – 1.21.1 with 0.8-1.21.1 as the newest NeoForge file.
Key features
Key doors and keycards
Key doors open for keycards of the matching access level, and keycards can also activate other mechanisms.
Code doors
Code doors are opened by entering a password of up to 9 symbols instead of a keycard.
Network management
Networks are created and named from a menu, and each network keeps its own list of users and access settings.
Roles and access levels
Users hold one of four roles, member, moderator, admin or founder, and the role decides which actions they may perform.
Laboratory decorations
The mod adds a set of functional and decorative blocks for building laboratory interiors.
