Lock and Key

by ctkrocks

Players who want protected storage can use Lock and Key, which uses Trial Keys to restrict access to containers and entrances.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT License1.21 – 1.21.1

What it does

A locked block can only be opened by a player holding a key that matches its lock, and other players cannot interact with or break it. A cloned key works anywhere the original does. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out, and it targets 1.21 and 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source, and it also ships as a data pack.

Key features

  1. Trial Key locks

    A Trial Key locks doors, trapdoors, chests, barrels and pots, so each container or entrance can be restricted.

  2. Unique key IDs

    Every key is given a unique ID, the way a map is, so a key identifies the lock it belongs to.

  3. Protected locked blocks

    Locked blocks cannot be interacted with or broken by other players, and a cloned key opens them as well.

Questions

Does Lock and Key need to be installed on the server?

The server should run the mod, but players can skip it, since it works on the server alone and neither side is required to have it on the client.
