Locks Reborn

Locks Reborn is a comprehensive, cross-platform (Forge & Fabric) lock and security mod built for Minecraft 1.20.1. Whether you want to protect your valuable resources from sneaky server mates, or experience an immersive lock-picking and treasure-hunting adventure as you explore the world, this mod has you covered!

⚠️ Note: The Fabric version of this mod is currently still under active development and not fully complete yet. Expect the Forge version to be the most stable right now.This mod is not affiliated with Locks Reforged. The naming overlap was an oversight on my part — I was focused on porting other mods at the time and didn't pay close attention. However, I still believe this mod has some original ideas of its own, which is why I decided to upload it.

Since I'm usually busy with other matters, if you have any feedback or need a faster response from me, please use this channel.

🗝️ Core Features

🔒 Multi-tier Locking System

Say goodbye to basic protection! This mod introduces a tiered hierarchy of physical padlocks you can attach to chests, containers, and certain interactive doors.

• Available lock tiers: Wood, Iron, Steel, Gold, Diamond, and Netherite.
• Lock quality isn't just cosmetic—higher-tier locks are exponentially more difficult to pick and boast immense resistance to physical damage.

🔑 Keys, Key Rings & Master Keys

• Pairing & Copying: Craft blank keys and pair them to match your crafted locks for personalized security.
• The Key Ring: Sick of a cluttered inventory? Aggregate dozens of keys into a single Key Ring. When interacting with a locked chest, the Key Ring automatically matches the correct key!
• Master Keys: Perfect for Server Admins and creative building, allowing you to bypass mechanisms and instantly open any bound lock.

🥷 Immersive Lock-picking Minigame

Lost your key? Time to get your hands dirty. Equip a Lock Pick and interact with a locked container to trigger an interactive lock-picking minigame. Listen to the mechanical clunks and visualize the tumbler pins.

• Hardcore Difficulty Scaling: While a wooden lock might take just seconds to bypass, attempting to pick a Diamond or Netherite lock will test your absolute limit in precision and patience. Better pack extra lock picks!

🪓 Brute-force Lock Breaking

Not the stealthy type? Grab your sharpest axe and start swinging!

• Players can physically smash open locks by left-clicking them with heavy tools.
• Customizable Breaking Tools: Don't want to just use axes? You can fully customize which specific items/tools can be used for lock-breaking and tweak their durability interactions via the mod's configuration files.
• Durability Penalty: Breaking locks takes a massive toll on your tool's actual durability. Early-game tools might just shatter directly in your hands if you try to pry open high-tier dungeon locks.
• Shock & Immunity Feedback: High-tier locks (like Netherite) will unleash chaotic energy, dealing Shock Penalties to the breaker upon destruction. However, using Gold or Netherite tools—with their natural magical and insulating properties—will grant you total immunity to these backfire effects!

🌍 World Generation & Immersive Looting

Locks Reforged flawlessly intercepts vanilla and modded Loot Tables. When exploring, you will randomly stumble upon physical locks already attached to naturally generated structure chests (like Abandoned Mineshafts, Strongholds, Nether Fortresses, and Village Blacksmiths).

You'll never know if that chest sealing ancient loot deep underground is protected by a rusty iron lock or a nearly indestructible steel mechanism. Never leave your base without a lock pick or a sturdy battle axe!

⚙️ Configuration & Modpack Friendly

Highly configurable out-of-the-box!

• Server Config: Fine-tune durability penalties, brute-force mechanics, and shock damages via config/locks-server.toml.
• Data-driven Generation: 100% of the world-generation locks are datapack compatible. You can easily tweak or override the loot tables in data/locks/loot_tables/ to add customized locks to any custom structures in your modpack!
