Stone Lock

by ColdFox_

Stone Lock changes how Minecraft progression works by making iron hard to get early, with new achievements that send players to the Nether.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.3 – 1.21.4

What it does

Stone Lock removes iron from the usual spots where it appears, such as vanilla chests, pots and archaeology finds, along with the entities the mod adds. Iron then becomes something players must work toward. The mod also adds two achievements that lead players into the Nether through a new route, which starts by crying obsidian, smoothing basalt and finding amethyst geodes. Players collect tears with glass bottles and use them to make Nether fire resources. Stone Lock is a Forge mod for 1.21.3 and 1.21.4, and it runs on client and server, so both sides need it. It is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Scarcer iron

    Iron is removed from vanilla chests, pots, archaeology and added mob drops, so it is harder to find early on.

  2. Nether achievements

    Two new achievements direct players toward the Nether and a different way of reaching it.

  3. Tears from obsidian

    Glass bottles collect tears from crying obsidian, which feed the Nether fire resource recipes.
