About this Mod

Chest SignLock

Chest SignLock is a server-side Fabric mod that lets players protect containers and doors using signs.

It is designed to be simple, lightweight, and easy to understand for players: place a sign, write who is allowed, and the block becomes private.

Chest SignLock is heavily inspired by the classic Spigot plugin BlockLocker, adapted for modern Fabric servers.

Features

  • Protect containers and doors with [Private] signs
  • Add extra allowed players with [More Users] signs
  • Supports chests, trapped chests, barrels, shulker boxes, dispensers, droppers, furnaces, blast furnaces, smokers, lecterns, and all doors
  • Handles double chests and doors as one protected object
  • Prevents unauthorized players from opening protected blocks
  • Prevents unauthorized players from editing protected signs
  • Prevents protected blocks and signs from being broken by unauthorized players
  • Protects locked blocks from explosions
  • Blocks hoppers, hopper minecarts, and copper golems by default
  • Supports [Redstone] on signs to allow automation/redstone access
  • Includes English and French messages
  • Server-side only

How It Works

Place a sign on a supported block to lock it.

A private sign uses:

[Private]
PlayerName

To add more players, use:

[More Users]
PlayerOne
PlayerTwo
PlayerThree

If a block has a valid [Private] sign, only listed players and server operators can interact with it.

Commands

/chestlocklang en
/chestlocklang fr
/debuglockedchest

The language commands require operator permission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chest LockSign server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Chest LockSign compatible with fabric?

Chest LockSign officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Chest LockSign – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Chest LockSign consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
