Chest Locks

What are chest locks?
Chest locks are provided by a plugin called LoreLocks.

The recipes have been altered from the defaults to make them more difficult, so the plugin page will provide little information for you.

Using chest locks
To use a chest lock, just craft the one you want and place it in the top left slot of any chest.

All locks are also usable on wooden doors; Just right click on any wooden door and the lock will be automatically placed. If you use a lock on an iron door, even if you have the key you won't be able to right click to open it and the lock won't prevent people from opening it with a button/lever/pressure plate.

Novice: 2x Iron Block, 1x Iron Ingot

Apprentice: 2x Iron Block, 2x Iron Ingot, 1x Gold Ingot

Adept: 2x Iron Block, 2x Gold Ingot, 1x Diamond

Expert: 2x Iron Block, 2x Diamond, 1x Emerald

Master: 2x Iron Block, 2x Emerald, 1x Gold Block

Perfect: 8x Nether Star, 1x Artificial Bedrock

Perfect Locks are the hardest to make, but impossible to pick. Novice locks are easiest to craft, but also easiest to pick. Yeah, there is lockpicking with this plugin.

Lockpicking
3x Lockpick: 6x Stick, 2x Iron Ingot, 1x Diamond

Perfect locks cannot be lockpicked, but any other lock can!

To attempt to pick a lock, just have any number of lockpicks in your inventory and try to open a locked chest. A GUI will come up with iron bars and some iron blocks. Click the iron blocks in the right order and the chest will open. Clicking the blocks in the wrong order has a chance to break one of your lockpicks.

When you first join the server, your lockpicks have a 75% chance to break. Each time you successfully pick a lock, that chance goes down by 1% to a minimum of 25%. Ex. New player has 75% break chance. They open 4 locks and now their break chance is 71%.

Keys
In order to avoid having to lockpick your own chests, you must make a key.

Again, perfect locks CANNOT be lockpicked so make sure you make a key; This cannot be stressed enough!

In the case of doors, the key MUST be made before placing the lock as there is no inventory to access to remove the lock.

Keys are made by dropping a lockpick onto any lock within your inventory.

To use a key just have it in your inventory and it will automatically work.

If you forget to make a key for a perfect lock, ask a staff member to bypass the lock for you.
