Crouch-use a blank key on a lock you own. Chat: Key bound to L#.
Standing-click with that bound key opens that lock and spends one use. A wrong bound key fails and still wears. Only the owner can copy keys.
Unbreaking on a key adds uses. Mending restores uses when you gain XP (handled by the add-on; keys are not vanilla durability bars).
| Result | Craft (shapeless) |
|---|---|
| Master Key | Emerald + netherite ingot + gold ingot |
Crouch-use an unbound Master Key on a lock you own. That one key opens all of your locks. An operator holding a Master Key can open every lock in the world. Uses still wear. It does not grant key copying.
| Mode | Who can open without a matching key |
|---|---|
| Owner Only | Owner (and admin/master). Bound keys are rejected. |
| Key Holders | Owner plus matching bound keys. Default. |
| Shared | Key holders plus listed players. |
| Group | Key holders plus members of the assigned group. |
| Public | Anyone. A wrong bound key still fails. |
Side-by-side matching doors or fence gates share one lock. A real double chest (same facing, combined inventory larger than 27 slots) shares one lock across both halves. Removing the lock from either side unlocks the pair. Two adjacent single chests placed while crouching stay separate.
