About this Mod
BarkLock
BarkLock is a simple utility mod that tackles a common builder blunder: accidentally stripping the bark off log blocks. When you’ve got an axe in hand or you’re mid-build, it’s easy to misclick and ruin a log’s look. This mod adds a tiny safety net to keep that from happening.
With BarkLock installed, right-clicking a log with an axe does nothing—the bark stays put. If you actually want to take the bark off, just hold the sneak key (Shift) while right-clicking.
Main features:
Safety first: Stops accidental log edits while you’re moving around or building.
Simple mechanic: No fiddly menus or settings. Sneak to bypass the lock only when you need to.
Server friendly: Install it on a server to protect the world for everyone. Players don’t need the mod on their own setup to benefit from the protection.
Performance: Tiny footprint, no hit to frame rate or loading times.
Installation and compatibility: Built for Fabric Loader, compatible with Minecraft 1.21-1.21.11. Drop the jar into your mods folder and you’re good to go.

BarkLock server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with BarkLock – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if BarkLock consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
