Trial Key Recipe

by Blueagurian-Raxture

Trial Key Recipe adds a crafting recipe for the Trial Key, so players can make one from 1 Tuff and 2 Copper Ingots instead of finding it in a trial chamber.

What it does

The mod registers a crafting recipe that turns 1 Tuff and 2 Copper Ingots into a Trial Key. Without it, the key has to come from loot in trial chambers, and the recipe gives players a way to obtain keys directly from their own stock of materials. The same crafting step is available for the Ominous Trial Key, so a player can prepare keys before opening a vault.

Trial Key Recipe is a server-side mod that adds the recipe through a data pack, which the server loads. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack build exists as well. Builds cover 1.21 – 26.3 on the release line, with 1.0+mod as the file for 26.3, and snapshot builds are published too. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Crafted Trial Key

    A Trial Key can be crafted from 1 Tuff and 2 Copper Ingots at a crafting table.

  2. Ominous Trial Key recipe

    The same crafting route covers the Ominous Trial Key, which opens ominous vaults.

  3. Trial spawner support

    Keys made through the recipe work with trial spawners and vaults in the same way as keys from loot.

Use cases

Early access to vaults

A player who has gathered the materials can open a vault without first finding a key in loot.

Server economies

Server owners can rely on a fixed recipe rather than random loot when pacing access to trial rewards.

Who it’s for: Players who want a dependable way to get Trial Keys, and server owners who prefer a recipe over loot-based key supply on a server that runs trial chambers.
