Lock Doors From Villagers
by Samilton
Lock Doors From Villagers lets a player mark selected wooden doors so that villagers cannot pass through them, the way they already avoid iron doors.
What it does
By default, villagers only treat iron doors as off limits. This mod extends that behavior to wooden doors that a player chooses, so a door can be set to act like an iron one for villager movement. The door itself keeps its wooden look, which helps builds that rely on wooden doorways for their style. Each targeted door can be closed to villagers or opened again with simple commands, and a status check shows whether it is currently locked.
The mod is useful for controlling villager traffic in towns, keeping villagers out of rooms in custom builds, and separating trading halls from the rest of a settlement, all without replacing doors with iron ones. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is built for Fabric and covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which makes it open source.

Door commands
Simple commands lock a targeted door, reopen it to villagers and check its current status.
Wooden appearance kept
