A standalone Minecraft Fabric mod managed by the PCKR Engine that makes iron (and other metal/crystal) doors openable by hand and introduces a secure lock-and-key system.
Features
- Hand-Opening Mechanics: Open heavy iron/metal doors using your bare hands. Heavy doors feel realistic and open with a slight configuration delay and creak.
- Lock and Key System: Craft keys and bind them to specific doors. A locked door can only be toggled or opened by a player holding the matching key in their hand.
- Custom Metal & Crystal Doors: Adds Gold, Emerald, Diamond, Netherite, and Amethyst doors with matching textures, hardness levels, and properties.
