About this Mod
🔐 Steelhold – Secure Storage Reinvented
Steelhold is a Forge mod that adds heavy-duty, lockable safes to Minecraft — designed for multiplayer, survival, PvP, and roleplay servers where security actually matters.
These aren’t decorative chests.
Steelhold safes are physical vaults with real ownership, real locks, and real consequences.
🗄️ Secure Storage, Not Just More Slots
Every Steelhold safe is:
- Player-owned
- Key-locked
- Explosion-resistant
- Tool-restricted
- Physics-enabled
Safes behave like anvils — if the block underneath breaks, they fall.
When they land, they keep their inventory, owner, and lock, making them perfect for traps, vaults, and high-security bases.
🔑 Lock & Key System
When a safe is placed, it is automatically bound to its owner.
Only the owner can:
- Open the safe
- Generate keys
- Share access
Keys are physical items that are:
- Bound to a specific safe
- Tradable to other players
- Impossible to fake or duplicate
No key?
No access.
Even operators must break a safe to get inside — there are no bypasses.
🧱 Multiple Tiers
Steelhold includes multiple tiers of safes, each with increasing storage, durability, and security:
- Basic Safe – Starter protection
- Reinforced Safe – Stronger and blast-resistant
- Steelhold Safe – High-security vault
- Vault Safe – Massive storage
- Bank Safe – Maximum security & capacity
All tiers use the same lock & key system — only their strength and size change.
💥 Explosions & Tools
Safes:
- Require the correct pickaxe tier to break
- Resist TNT and creepers based on tier
- Can be configured to be explosion-proof or destructible
Everything is configurable via Steelhold’s config file, including:
- Storage size
- Block hardness
- Blast resistance
- Required tool tier
Existing safes are never shrunk, preventing item loss.
🛠 Built for Servers
Steelhold is designed for:
- SMP servers
- PvP & raiding servers
- Town & nation servers
- Economy servers
- Roleplay worlds
No hopper theft.
