Lockable Doors
by Koda-Atlas
Lockable Doors turns ordinary doors into locked variants that only open for a matching key item in hand.
What it does
The mod adds locked door variants that look almost identical to vanilla doors. A locked door opens only when the player holds the new key item, and the key's recipe becomes craftable once a gold ingot is obtained. Doors craftable in vanilla can be turned into lockable versions, giving a simpler route to a secure base than complicated redstone doors. The mod runs on Fabric for 1.21.6 only, and it is licensed under CC0 1.0 Universal, so it is not open source. Client and server both need it, since the locking check happens on both sides.
