Usage

Key Blank

This is an uncut key, that can't open or close items; its only purpose is to generate the actual key items by using it.

Key

When created by using a blank, a random key code is generated and stored in the key nbt data.

Crouching and using the key in any container, door, or trapdoor will lock it:

• Containers are tagged with {lock:<key object>}, an unused vanilla feature that does in fact lock the container.
• For doors and trapdoors an interaction entity is created around them that shows and "It's Locked!" message when used.

The locked block can be unloked by using the original key on it.

Overhead

Uses a number of advancements:

• Check if a player used a key blank, to cut a new key
• Check if a player used a key
• Check if a player used an lock interaction on a door or trapdoor

Known Issues

The interaction entity around doors and trapdoors takes the entirety of the block(s) the occupy; that means that a small mob that got into the space will be covered by it, and become non-interactive itself.
