What is Entry Denied?
Entry Denied is a mod for NeoForge 1.21.1 and NeoForge 1.21.4 which brings Lucas Pope's indie game; Papers, Please to Minecraft. Including 16 unique passports, 16 IDs, Access Permit, Work Pass and Vaccine Certificate. All of which have unique GUIs with different information sections which can be filled in using a Document Issuer.
Each of the 16 passports (of every dye colour in Minecraft) have unique GUIs which can be all be customised and filled in with the Document Issuer.
Each passport can be stamped using the Passport stamp tool which can be configured using its GUI.
Weight System
The mod also includes a custom weight system which assigns a random weight from 60kg to 110kg. Adding a reason for the 'Weight' section in IDs and Access permits, weights can be checked by linking a Iron Weight Scale and a Weight Gauge with a wrench, which is shown in the video below;
