About this Mod
Welcome to Padlock
Padlock currently only works with its own containers.
Due to a bug with the forge right click block event, it no longer supports all block entities.
Instead Padlock adds three new containers.
- Wooden Lockbox
- Iron Lockbox
- Golden Lockbox
which can be locked and encoded using an Obsidian Lock/Key in the Locksmith Block!
However players can still bust through them with enough
conviction!
Busted thru locks become damaged, and can not be reused.
Clicking on a locked container with a key will let you open it,
Sneak with key in hand to remove the lock!
Why use this mod?
This mod adds security on modded servers without becoming
unraidable!
Why not use this mod!
A bug has been discovered with forge, where right clicking with a shield in your offhand
causes the rightclick block event to not be called properly when interacting with containers!
Due to this, you can now only lock lockboxes.

Padlock server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong forge 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 (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Padlock compatible with forge?
Padlock officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Padlock – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Padlock 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.
