It replaces traditional chat-command protection systems with a physical and interactive mechanic. The plugin requires players to use tangible items, specifically locks and forged keys, to secure their chests and doors, introducing a new layer of economy and strategy to the game.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike absolute protection systems, LockIT implements a skill-based lockpicking system. This allows players to attempt to breach protections via a minigame, provided they have the appropriate tools and the target lock is not of the maximum tier.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/EghpRlsyoG4\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>## Key Features<\/p>\n<p>* Physical Protection: Security is applied by physically installing a lock item onto the target block.<br \/>\n* Smithing Mechanics: Keys must be forged in a Smithing Table to receive a unique identification code.<br \/>\n* Fully Configurable: All items, crafting recipes, minigame difficulties, and messages can be modified via configuration files.<br \/>\n* Texture Support: Native support for Custom Model Data for servers utilizing Resource Packs.<\/p>\n<p>## Gameplay Mechanics<\/p>\n<p>### 1. Key Management<br \/>\nTo protect an inventory, a player requires a valid key.<\/p>\n<p>* Creation: Keys are crafted in a &#8220;blank&#8221; state using a crafting table.<br \/>\n* Forging: Interacting with a Smithing Table grants the key a unique ID.<br \/>\n* Copies: In Survival mode, players can create duplicates by clicking a forged key onto a blank key within their inventory.<br \/>\n* Reset: A key code can be erased using a Grindstone.<\/p>\n<p>### 2. Installation and Usage<br \/>\nThe player must hold a Lock in their main hand and the corresponding Key in their inventory.<\/p>\n<p>* Install: Sneak and Right Click on the target block.<br \/>\n* Open\/Close: Right Click with the correct key toggles the block state.<br \/>\n* Remove: Sneak and Left Click with the correct key removes the lock and returns the item.<\/p>\n<p>### 3. Lockpicking System<br \/>\nPlayers may attempt to open locks using the Lockpick tool. This action opens a graphical interface where the objective is to discover a hidden sequence of pins.<\/p>\n<p>* Failure: Selecting the wrong pin consumes a &#8220;life&#8221; and breaks the Lockpick item.<br \/>\n* Success: Correctly identifying the entire sequence unlocks the block.<br \/>\n* Penalty: Lives do not regenerate during the session. If they reach zero, the attempt fails completely.<\/p>\n<p>## Lock Levels<\/p>\n<p>The plugin offers 6 tiers of locks with progressive crafting costs and difficulty settings. Difficulty determines the number of pins in the minigame and the number of allowed errors.<\/p>\n<p>| Level | Pins (Sequence) | Lives (Attempts) |<br \/>\n| :&#8212; | :&#8212; | :&#8212; |<br \/>\n| 1 | 6 Pins | 5 Lives |<br \/>\n| 2 | 7 Pins | 5 Lives |<br \/>\n| 3 | 8 Pins | 5 Lives |<br \/>\n| 4 | 8 Pins | 4 Lives |<br \/>\n| 5 | 9 Pins | 4 Lives |<br \/>\n| 6 | N\/A | Immune to Lockpicks |<\/p>\n<p>Note: The Level 6 lock is technically inviolable via lockpicking, serving as the ultimate protection tier.<\/p>\n<p>## Configuration<\/p>\n<p>The plugin generates four main files for server customization:<\/p>\n<p>* items.yml: Allows modification of names, materials, and Custom Model Data for keys, lockpicks, and each lock level.<br \/>\n* craftings.yml: Allows definition or deactivation of crafting recipes for each item.<br \/>\n* lockpick.yml: Allows adjustment of mathematical difficulty (pin count and lives) for each lock level.<br \/>\n* messages.yml: Translation file for all chat and action bar messages.<\/p>\n<p>## Commands and Permissions<\/p>\n<p>Routine gameplay does not require commands. The command below is intended for administration and the distribution of special items.<\/p>\n<p>Command: \/lockit<br \/>\nPermission: lockit.admin (Default: OP)<\/p>\n<p>* \/lockit key: Receive a blank key.<br \/>\n* \/lockit customkey <id>: Generate a key with a specific code.<br \/>\n* \/lockit universalkey: Receive a Universal Key (opens any lock from level 1 to 6).<br \/>\n* \/lockit lock <1-6>: Receive a lock of the specified level.<br \/>\n* \/lockit lockpick: Receive the lockpicking tool.<\/p>\n<p>## Installation<\/p>\n<p>1. Download the .jar file.<br \/>\n2. Place it in the \/plugins folder of your server.<br \/>\n3. Restart the server to generate the configuration files.<\/p>\n<p>This plugin is highly inspired by the Locks and Lockpicking plugin, which was discontinued in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to request a new feature or report a bug, reach me on Discord: o_stein<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LockIT transforms the protection of chests and doors into a real game mechanic, requiring keys and locks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":95044,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"lock-it","_minecraft_project_id":"Msb6L6RG","_minecraft_author":"o_stein","_minecraft_license":"LicenseRef-All-Rights-Reserved","_minecraft_downloads":91,"_minecraft_follows":5,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"lock-it.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":100437,"_minecraft_version_count":3,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T19:53:15.576429Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2026-02-08T05:41:44.839763Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-03-19T16:12:18.224548Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/lock-it","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":95044,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-05T10:37:21+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"7a58113ad29f3576a9bba9056fd83334","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[89,866,127,128,91,92],"mod_loader":[132,133],"minecraft_version":[62,37,40,41,73,74,38,78,79,80,81,82],"class_list":["post-95043","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-minigame","mod_category-paper","mod_category-purpur","mod_category-storage","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-paper","mod_loader-purpur","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
