Please delete the `plugins\/MapLock\/lang\/` folder and run `\/map admin reload` to regenerate the latest files.<\/p>\n<p>**Q: Why is map locking free even though I set a cost?**<br \/>\nA: Ensure `economy.enabled` is set to `true` and **Vault** is installed with a working economy provider. If the economy system is unavailable, the plugin may block locking actions for safety.<\/p>\n<p>**Q: Can I make map locking free?**<br \/>\nA: Yes, set `cost` to `0.0` in `config.yml` or simply set `economy.enabled` to `false`.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>## \ud83e\udd1d Contributing<\/p>\n<p>This project is a unique experimental endeavor: **The code was developed and optimized entirely by AI (Gemini) based on Andy&#8217;s specific requirements and logic.**<\/p>\n<p>If you have ideas or find bugs, feel free to contribute:<\/p>\n<p>1. **Report Issues**: Submit bugs via the GitHub Issues page.<br \/>\n2. **Feature Requests**: Suggest new ideas (e.g., Item Frame protection, Database support).<br \/>\n3. **Localization**: Translations for languages other than Chinese and English are highly welcome via Pull Requests!<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>## \ud83e\udd16 About the Developer<\/p>\n<p>This plugin was co-created by **Gemini** (AI Partner) and **Andy**.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>## \u2696\ufe0f \u6388\u6b0a (License)<\/p>\n<p>\u672c\u5c08\u6848\u63a1\u7528 **MIT \u6388\u6b0a\u5354\u8b70**\u3002<br \/>\n![bStats](https:\/\/bstats.org\/signatures\/bukkit\/MapLock.svg)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lock your map art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":98290,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"maplock-andy","_minecraft_project_id":"8MBcSvQi","_minecraft_author":"ava852546","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":27,"_minecraft_follows":0,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"maplock-andy.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":92908,"_minecraft_version_count":3,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T22:20:02.771862Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2026-03-12T21:02:45.477015Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-04-01T12:57:21.559937Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/maplock-andy","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":98290,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-05T15:26:18+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"2f36220fc6be0a9282a61da951d3ebc4","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[124,844,125,89,127,128,129,92],"mod_loader":[130,131,132,133,134],"minecraft_version":[339,340,341,357,359,360,379,382,385,438,446,449,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,36,60,93,94,101,102,62,37,40,41,73,74,38,78,79,80,81,82,30,31,860,861,862,863,864,83,167,163],"class_list":["post-98289","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-bukkit","mod_category-economy","mod_category-folia","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-paper","mod_category-purpur","mod_category-spigot","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-bukkit","mod_loader-folia","mod_loader-paper","mod_loader-purpur","mod_loader-spigot","minecraft_version-1-10","minecraft_version-1-10-1","minecraft_version-1-10-2","minecraft_version-1-11","minecraft_version-1-11-1","minecraft_version-1-11-2","minecraft_version-1-12","minecraft_version-1-12-1","minecraft_version-1-12-2","minecraft_version-1-13","minecraft_version-1-13-1","minecraft_version-1-13-2","minecraft_version-1-14","minecraft_version-1-14-1","minecraft_version-1-14-2","minecraft_version-1-14-3","minecraft_version-1-14-4","minecraft_version-1-15","minecraft_version-1-15-1","minecraft_version-1-15-2","minecraft_version-1-16","minecraft_version-1-16-1","minecraft_version-1-16-2","minecraft_version-1-16-3","minecraft_version-1-16-4","minecraft_version-1-16-5","minecraft_version-1-17","minecraft_version-1-17-1","minecraft_version-1-18","minecraft_version-1-18-1","minecraft_version-1-18-2","minecraft_version-1-19","minecraft_version-1-19-1","minecraft_version-1-19-2","minecraft_version-1-19-3","minecraft_version-1-19-4","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-20-2","minecraft_version-1-20-3","minecraft_version-1-20-4","minecraft_version-1-20-5","minecraft_version-1-20-6","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","minecraft_version-1-8-8","minecraft_version-1-8-9","minecraft_version-1-9","minecraft_version-1-9-1","minecraft_version-1-9-2","minecraft_version-1-9-3","minecraft_version-1-9-4","minecraft_version-26-1","minecraft_version-26-1-1","minecraft_version-26-1-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
