Lockpicking
Can be turned of via command:
OFF: /scoreboard players set lockpicking k_knl_options 0
[Default] On: /scoreboard players set lockpicking k_knl_options 1
By crafting a Lockpick players are able to open locked container by holding the lockpick int thier hand, looking the the locked container and holding sneak.
On the top a progress bar will appear. The player need to get it full.
The chance of the lockpick breaking is high, so the player needs some in their inventory.
The player needs to have a spawnpoint set on a bed to Lockpick a container
bacause the spawn cord are used to generate the bossbar for the player
See Lockpick recipeRecipe is shapless and can also be crafted in a 2x2

Protection
Locked container are protected by breaking from other player.
Also if there is any primed TNT near a locked container it will despawn.
How...
...does it work?
By crafting the item you'll generate a unique key which is different to every player.
Crafting another key will result into the same key, so even if you lose your key you can craft another one.
Only the player who lock the container can open or unlock it again.
...to craft:
Simple put a stick and a Iron nugget into a 2x2 or 3x3 crafting grid. (It will result into a knowledge book but after picking it up it will convert into the key.)

...to use it:
Sneak right against the container and look at it, this way it will lock it.
Doing it again in front of the locked container you can unlock it again.
Notes and issues:
Know Issues:
- Looking at the edge of the container the indication will be next to the container.
- Also the container can't be locked or unlocked
Note for content creators:
I'm interested in seeing people playing and/or giving feedback on my Datapacks. So if you are creating a video of any kind with or about my datapacks, I would be really happy to get notified on my discord about it, so I can see your feedback. Also if you allow me to, I would put it on the Modrinth page, so others can see a first impression. This is not necessary, you don't have to!
