About this project

What does Doors and key add?

Doors and Key

Doors and key adds secure, craftable versions of Minecraft's vanilla doors.

Each lockable door can be given a custom name when it is placed. The owner receives a uniquely matched key that can be used to open, lock, and unlock the door.

Features

  • Lockable versions of all supported vanilla door materials
  • Custom door names
  • Uniquely matched named keys
  • Locked doors cannot be opened without the correct key
  • Sneak-right-click with the matching key to lock or unlock a door
  • Matching double doors open, close, lock, and unlock together
  • Key Cutting Table for duplicating existing keys
  • Owner-only door breaking
  • Locked doors cannot be bypassed using redstone
  • Survival crafting recipes
  • Separate Lockable Doors Creative inventory tab

Crafting

To create a lockable door, combine:

  • One normal vanilla door
  • One redstone dust

The result is the matching lockable version of that door.

Key Cutting Table

Craft the Key Cutting Table using the Smithing Table pattern, but replace the two iron ingots with copper ingots:

Copper Ingot | Copper Ingot
Plank | Plank
Plank | Plank

Place an existing named key and a tripwire hook inside the Key Cutting Table to produce a matching duplicate key.

Using a Door

  1. Craft and place a lockable door.
  2. Enter a name when the naming screen opens.
  3. You will receive a matching named key.
  4. Hold the matching key and right-click the door to open it.
  5. Sneak-right-click with the key to lock or unlock it.

Requirements

  • Minecraft: Java Edition 26.2
  • Fabric Loader
  • Fabric API

Known Limitation

Lockable copper-door variants keep their crafted oxidation appearance. Unwaxed lockable copper doors do not currently oxidize automatically.
