Locks Reforked

Locks spawn in the world as part of structure generation, and a config file sets their spawn weights and lists structures where they should not appear. Players can also place locks themselves. A dispenser paired with a key can lock and open a container from a distance, which allows remote control of storage.

Keys open their matching locks, and a key ring holds several keys so they can be drawn quickly from inventory. A lock combination can be read and copied, so several copies of the same lock pattern can be made. A netherite smart lock uses an ownership system, so the owner and allowed players can open it without a key. The mod also adds a lockpicking minigame for locks that are not opened with keys.

The mod is meant for multiplayer play, where locks protect shared storage. It works with Fork Locks-Unofficial, and with the New locks key ring compatibility layer. Its world generation has wide compatibility with structure and dimension mods. Locks Reforked is published for Fabric only, across the 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 range, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source; the mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license, with public source code.
