# Locks Reforged<\/p>\n
**An unofficial port of the Locks mod by Melonslise to Minecraft Forge 1.20.1.**<\/p>\n
Locks is a small but unique mod that lets you attach flexible, universal locks to any block in the game \u2014 including blocks from other mods. Protect your doors, chests, furnaces, and more with a dynamic locking system and an interactive lock picking minigame.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
### Lock Any Block<\/p>\n
Attach locks to **any block** \u2014 not just chests. Doors, trapdoors, furnaces, dispensers, hoppers, and modded blocks all work. Locks are spatial, so a single lock can cover multiple blocks at once.<\/p>\n
### Seven Tiers of Locks (+ Custom!)<\/p>\n
| Tier |Pins |Enchantability |Resistance |Pick Strength |
\n| ——— |—- |————– |———- |————- |
\n| Wood |5 |15 |4 |0.20 |
\n| Copper |6 |16 |8 |0.28 |
\n| Iron |7 |14 |12 |0.35 |
\n| Gold |6 |22 |6 |0.25 |
\n| Steel |9 |12 |20 |0.70 |
\n| Diamond |11 |10 |100 |0.85 |
\n| Netherite |14 |8 |200 |0.95 |<\/p>\n
* **Pins** \u2014 Number of pins in the lock picking minigame. More pins = harder to pick.
\n* **Enchantability** \u2014 How likely the lock is to receive powerful enchantments.
\n* **Resistance** \u2014 Explosion resistance. Diamond and Netherite locks are virtually indestructible.
\n* **Pick Strength** \u2014 How effective the matching lock pick is. Higher = better.<\/p>\n
Netherite items are **fire-resistant** and survive in lava, just like vanilla netherite gear. They’re crafted at a smithing table using a Netherite Upgrade Template.<\/p>\n
All locks and lock picks are **fully data-driven** \u2014 add your own custom tiers via simple JSON files, or tweak existing stats through config files, TOML overrides, or datapacks. No code changes needed!<\/p>\n
### Lock Picking Minigame<\/p>\n
Pick locks with an interactive pin-matching minigame. Match each pin to crack the combination. Higher-tier picks are more effective against tougher locks.<\/p>\n
**Lock Picks:** Wood, Bobby Pin (copper), Iron, Steel, Gold, Diamond, Netherite (+ custom)<\/p>\n
### Keys & Key Rings<\/p>\n
Craft **keys** that match your locks, or use a **Key Ring** to carry multiple keys. A **Master Key** opens any lock.<\/p>\n
### Seven Enchantments<\/p>\n
* **Shocking** \u2014 Zaps players who fail a pick attempt (bypasses armor)
\n* **Sturdy** \u2014 Reduces pick effectiveness
\n* **Complexity** \u2014 Blocks lower-tier picks entirely
\n* **Silent** \u2014 Suppresses the rattle sound when access is denied
\n* **Auto-Pick** \u2014 Chance to instantly open the lock, bypassing the minigame
\n* **Reinforced** \u2014 Increases explosion resistance per level
\n* **Awareness** \u2014 Remembers who placed the lock; that player can open it without a key<\/p>\n
Each enchantment can be individually enabled or disabled in the server config.<\/p>\n
### Full Protection<\/p>\n
Locked blocks are protected from:<\/p>\n
* Redstone activation
\n* Hopper extraction
\n* Piston movement
\n* Explosions
\n* Breaking (configurable)<\/p>\n
### Loot-Scaled Lock Generation<\/p>\n
Lock tier is determined by the **value of a chest’s loot table contents**. Village chests get wood or copper locks, while end city chests get gold or diamond locks. Chests with low-value loot get no lock at all.<\/p>\n
* **Multi-sample averaging** \u2014 each loot table is sampled 32 times and averaged for consistent tier assignments across server restarts.
\n* **Sub-linear stack count** \u2014 item value scales with the square root of stack size, so 64 cobblestone doesn’t outrank a diamond sword.
\n* **Item value overrides** \u2014 configurable per-item base values for materials like diamonds, emeralds, and netherite that are valuable but have common rarity. 15 vanilla items have sensible defaults.
\n* Fully configurable with per-tier value thresholds, rarity multipliers, and enchantment bonuses. Can be switched to random weighted selection if preferred.<\/p>\n
### World Integration<\/p>\n
* Locked chests spawn naturally in structures with loot-value-scaled tiers
\n* Lock picks and mechanisms found in dungeon and temple loot
\n* Toolsmith villagers sell lock picks and mechanisms
\n* Wandering traders offer rare picks and enchanted locks<\/p>\n

## Adding Custom Items<\/p>\n
Locks Reforged has a fully data-driven item system. You can add entirely new lock and lock pick tiers \u2014 or tweak existing ones \u2014 using three different methods depending on your needs.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
### Mechanisms<\/p>\n
Lock mechanisms (Wood, Copper, Iron, Steel) are basic crafting components \u2014 they are not data-driven and cannot be added via config or datapack. Each lock recipe requires its corresponding mechanism as the center ingredient.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
## Configuration<\/p>\n
All settings are customizable via config files. Note that `locks-server.toml` is **per-world** and lives in a different location than the other two:<\/p>\n
**`config\/locks-common.toml`** \u2014 World generation and item stats<\/p>\n
* **Generation Chance** \u2014 How often locks appear on generated chests (default: 85%, only used when loot-scaled locks is disabled)
\n* **Enchant Chance** \u2014 How often generated locks are enchanted (default: 40%)
\n* **Generated Locks \/ Weights** \u2014 Which lock tiers appear in worldgen and their relative rarity
\n* **Loot-Scaled Locks** \u2014 Lock tier based on chest loot value (enabled by default). Configurable item values, rarity multipliers, enchantment bonuses, per-tier value thresholds, sample count, and per-item value overrides
\n* **Lock Stats \/ Lockpick Stats** \u2014 Per-tier stat overrides (see above)<\/p>\n
**`saves\/ * **Lockable Blocks** \u2014 Regex patterns for which blocks can be locked (default: chests, doors, hoppers, etc.) **`config\/locks-client.toml`** \u2014 Client-side settings<\/p>\n * **Deaf Mode** \u2014 Visual feedback for lock picking accessibility (default: true)<\/p>\n **Stale config files:** When the mod is updated with new tiers (e.g. Copper was added after the initial release), existing TOML files keep their old defaults. For example, the “Generated Locks” list won’t include `locks:copper_lock` unless you manually add it or delete `locks-common.toml` to let it regenerate with the new defaults.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ## Requirements<\/p>\n * Minecraft **1.20.1** ***<\/p>\n ## Credits<\/p>\n * **Original Author:** Melonslise This is an unofficial port that preserves all original gameplay.
