About this Mod
🔐 Advanced Lock – Secure Your Chests with Codes
Advanced Lock is a security-focused Forge mod that adds a realistic and user-friendly chest locking system to Minecraft.
This mod allows players to protect their chests using numeric access codes, preventing unauthorized access, theft, and destruction.
✨ Features
🔒 Chest Locking with Codes
Players can lock any single or double chest using a special Padlock / Key item.
Each chest can be protected with a custom numeric code.
Only players who know the correct code can open the chest.
🧠 Owner Protection
Every locked chest stores its owner.
Even the owner must enter the code to open the chest, adding realism and balance.
Chests cannot be bypassed by breaking or force-opening.
🧱 Break Protection
Locked chests cannot be broken unless the correct code is provided.
This prevents griefing and item loss on multiplayer servers.
🖥️ Interactive GUI
When a player interacts with a locked chest, a clean GUI screen appears.
The GUI allows players to:
Enter the unlock code
Set a new code (owner only)
Remove the code (owner only)
Clear feedback messages are shown for correct or incorrect codes.
🌐 Multiplayer & Server Friendly
Fully server-side + client-side compatible.
Chest codes and ownership are saved securely on the server.
Works perfectly in survival multiplayer environments.

Includes a custom Key / Padlock item with its own texture.
Supports resource packs and future expansion.
