Troubleshooting

The padlock is missing or floating

  • Confirm Andy's Locks & Keys [RP] is active and matches the Behavior Pack version 0.11.3.
  • Remove older Locks & Keys packs from global storage, then re-import.
  • If you updated from an older test build, break the door, place it again, and lock it fresh.

I cannot lock the block

  • Crouch. Standing click opens the door or container instead of locking.
  • Aim at the door, trapdoor, gate, chest, or barrel itself, not the block beside it.
  • Hold a lock item in the selected hotbar slot.

I cannot lock two chests as a double

  • Vanilla must form a real double chest: same chest type, same facing, combined inventory larger than 27 slots.
  • Adjacent single chests placed while crouching stay two separate locks.

The door opens from a button

  • Default Security mode snaps unauthorized opens closed after a moment.
  • A constantly powered lever can flicker. Use a button, or set Redstone Allowed.

My bound key does not open the lock

  • Bind it with crouch-use on a lock you own.
  • Owner Only mode rejects bound keys.
  • A key bound to a different Lock ID is a wrong key.

Lockpicking does nothing / snaps immediately

  • You cannot pick your own lock. For solo tests: /scriptevent andylocks:engine guest.
  • Reinforced and Advanced locks reject wood/copper/gold picks.
  • Confirm you are aiming at someone else's locked block.
  • On a chest or barrel, success grants three seconds. Use the container in that window.

Brute force does nothing

  • Crouch in Survival. Hold a Netherite Pickaxe. Keep swinging for 30–50 seconds.
  • Only Simple locks smash this way. Unbreaking III on the lock blocks smash.
  • Progress resets if you stop, stand up, look away, or switch items.
  • No other pickaxe or tool works.

Items still leave my locked chest through a hopper

  • That is a known stable-API limit. Player access and breaking are protected. Hopper transfer is not.

Pack versions do not match

Delete both packs from global resources and re-import Andys_Locks_And_Keys_0.11.3.mcaddon.
