Oggvik's Inventory Freeze
by oggvik
With Oggvik's Inventory Freeze, a server owner can lock selected inventory slots for every player, using a single command or a configuration setting.
What it does
Oggvik's Inventory Freeze locks configurable inventory slots across all players. An administrator can freeze specific slots globally with one command, and the inventory-lock option can be switched on or off. Frozen slots keep their place and cannot be used, which makes the mod useful for keeping parts of a player's inventory fixed on a server.
A server-side watchdog guards against item duplication exploits and item deletion, and a custom pickup routine stops players from collecting items into frozen or locked slots. The interface effects sit in a separate frontend layer, apart from the backend logic. The jar is small, about 330 KB, and the author reports testing in both survival and multiplayer sessions with many players. Cloth Config API is required for the settings screen.
Files are published for Forge only, for 1.16.5, with 0.4.1+1.16.5-forge as the latest file from 2026-07-20. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

The mod provides a single command to enable globally "freezing" specific inventory slots using the command: #### /inventory-lock [true/false] Also, if you're using IntelliJ IDEA (which I'd recommend), you can also compile Forge Gradle Runs by executing:./gradlew genIntellijRuns
